Lawless Lawyer (Mubeop Byeonhosa) (2018) s01e08 Episode Script
Episode 8
Excuse me.
Gosh I'm sorry.
Are you all right? Yes.
Wait, you dropped this.
Jae I.
What's wrong? Is it someone you know? What? No.
What's this? I don't know.
She left this.
Jae I.
It's me, your mom.
Attorney Ha Jae I's mother is alive.
(Attorney Ha Jae I's mother is alive, Wu Hyung Man) I'm here, Boss.
(Episode 8) I need you to find someone.
As soon as possible.
I got a call from the bar association today.
My suspension has been lifted.
Congratulations on being able to work as an attorney again, Jae I.
I didn't tell Dad that Judge Cha got it lifted for me, so I feel bad.
I'm a daddy's girl, so I used to keep no secrets from him.
But I keep having to hide things from him these days.
Why aren't you drinking? I'm the only one who's been drinking.
You're so drunk now.
I should stay sober.
I'm not drunk at all.
Drink up.
You shouldn't drink anymore.
More! You're very cute when you're drunk, Jae I.
Bong Sang Pil.
Hang in there.
I'll take you home soon.
I didn't know that your back was so broad.
My gosh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Is it your first time visiting Judge Cha's place? Yes, I did visit her family home when her father was alive, but it is my first time here.
She rarely invites an outsider - to her place.
- I see.
It means that she thinks very highly of you.
Welcome, Mr.
Ha.
My gosh, Judge Cha.
I'm much obliged.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Judge Cha's autobiography will come out soon.
Oh, really? Right, who will write an autobiography if you don't? I need a photo for my autobiography.
I'd like to ask you to take it.
My gosh, you don't even have to ask.
I should take it for you, of course.
I'm always grateful to you for taking my father's photo.
It was a great honor for me.
Jae I can go back to working as an attorney now, so you must be relieved.
Yes.
Of course, ma'am.
That only happened because Judge Cha filed a complaint to the disciplinary committee and the administrative court to get her suspension lifted.
Oh, I see.
My goodness, I didn't know.
Thank you very much.
Judge Cha, I don't even know how to thank you for everything.
- Please have a seat.
- Okay.
I'm not sure why Jae I didn't tell you.
She's too good to just stay here in Kiseong.
You should send her back to Seoul.
I'll find a good law firm for her.
Okay, Judge Cha.
Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- But I don't know if she'll be willing to leave Kiseong.
It looks like she and Attorney Bong have gotten very close.
No.
I'll send her to Seoul right away.
Yes.
- Goodbye.
- Take care.
Did you get her suspension lifted to manipulate him, not Ha Jae I? She never goes against her father, you know.
I thought you did it because you were fond of her.
My gosh, I still have a long way to go to be as astute as you are.
Goodness me.
What's this smell? Something stinks.
Disinfect everything right away.
And wash the carpet Mr.
Ha stepped on immediately.
Okay, ma'am.
Gosh, I'm just going to sleep at a hotel tonight.
Bring my stuff.
Got it, Judge Cha.
What? Gosh, Sang Pil.
Get me down.
Why? Just stay like that.
Get me down.
This is my dad's photo studio.
- It's okay.
- Get me down now.
- Oh, no.
My shoes.
- Look at that.
Even your feet are pretty, Jae I.
Be careful.
There.
Gosh, my shoes.
Jae I.
Dad.
I drank a little.
Hello, Mr.
Ha.
Let's go inside.
Dad.
Where have you been at this late hour? I heard Judge Cha got your suspension lifted for you.
Why didn't you tell me? Did you just meet with her? Yes.
She said that she'll find a big law firm in Seoul for you.
You should never forget how much she's done for you.
Judge Cha isn't the kind of person you think she is.
What did you just say? How dare you speak so rudely? Go get some rest.
Mom's disappearance Judge Cha was behind it.
What? What did you say? Dad.
It was all Cha Moon Sook's doing.
How dare you! You're being like this because of Bong Sang Pil, right? I know everything! Dad.
Pack up your stuff and go to Seoul this instant.
What brings you here at this hour? What's this? Can I stay here for the next little while? Here? - Is something - Don't ask.
You fought with your dad.
Because of me? No.
It was because of me.
If I stay with Dad, I thought I'd tell him all about Judge Cha, so I left.
Well done.
What do you want? An Americano or a latte? An Americano.
Okay.
Barista Bong's Americano is coming up.
Wait just a bit.
Here's your coffee.
It tastes good.
What was your mother like? My mom? A nurse.
She was a nurse-like attorney.
When I was hospitalized as a kid, the nurse came to check my wounds even when I didn't ask her to, and she checked my temperature all night.
And asked if I was in pain.
That's how my mom was like to her clients.
I'd like to be an attorney like that.
That's why my mom asked your mom for help.
I guess? Do you dream of becoming an attorney like her too? First, I want to see Judge Cha be judged.
Only then I can figure out what kind of an attorney I'll be.
Okay.
My mom's birthday is coming up.
I didn't do anything for her.
You were too young back then.
So was I.
Shall I show you something? - What? - Watch.
This is a massage chair.
It's so relaxing.
We confirmed the Thai woman's arrival.
Two days ago through Incheon Airport.
- I see.
- I think she's in Kiseong.
In Kiseong? Yes.
Man Bae.
Yes, boss.
I must be away for a few days.
Watch things while I'm gone.
I'll send some men with you.
No.
I must go alone this time.
(Welcome, Mayor An) - Welcome.
- You're all hard at work.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Could you smile for us? - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
The room is yours.
When will you get me out? I did what I did because you had my back.
Oh, dear.
You want me to get you out? You have to take the fall for this one.
Isn't that obvious? What? You thug.
You're speaking your mind now? I'm what, a thug? - A thug? - Hey.
I won't go down alone.
Are you saying you'll take your whole family down with you? No husband and father should do that.
This.
Isn't this your daughter? You raised her well.
She's pretty.
Here.
I'll let you talk to her.
Who's this? I was concerned for your daughter.
I have some burly men watching out for her.
How dare you You - You - Whether those burly men will protect her or make her a victim of a random attack.
That's all up to you, isn't it? This lawyer I know worked for 18 years to gain revenge for his mother.
What is there a husband and father won't do for his family? I did it all.
You'll take the fall? I committed a crime.
I will pay the price.
Do you think I won't be able to get to An Oh Ju? Go for it if you can.
I bet there's nothing you can do.
The chief prosecutor asked for you.
He seems to want to close the case.
Sir! What are you doing? An Oh Ju visited the prison and talked to President Son.
Prosecutor Cheon.
Don't get too worked up.
You can't prove anything with what you have right now.
I have to sit and watch while they sacrifice him? That's enough.
That jerk.
A toast to Attorney Ha Jae I! - Cheers! - Cheers! - Bottom's up.
- Bottom's up.
You went from a paralegal to an attorney.
I'll work hard for Lawless Law Firm.
Attorney Ha, for you.
You all should eat up.
A loan shark office in the outskirts of Kiseong became a law firm with two attorneys.
I have a feeling it was all down to me.
Geum Kang, you're doing well.
It's nothing.
- We have a problem.
- What is it? We don't have a paralegal.
Mr.
Tae will always be a director.
Do you think I could help? - You can't even add numbers.
- What? Geum Ja's a human calculator.
As of today, Geum Ja is our new paralegal.
Applause.
Really? That means I'll have to be with you at all times, Attorney Bong.
Work hard.
Work hard.
- Thanks.
- Attorney Ha.
Did you work late and spend the night at the office? Well Attention, please.
Attorney Ha's family has some issues, so she'll be staying at our office for a while, okay? A woman, away from home? For longer than a few days? No way.
I don't mind, Geum Ja.
But I do.
Stay with me.
Can I do that? Come over today.
That's good.
- Geum Ja.
- What? Stop trying to break those two up.
You're only wasting your time.
Just you wait and see.
I'll make sure you climb up the social ladder - Oh, gosh.
- as Attorney Bong's brother-in-law.
- Go, Hook of Kiseong.
- Go, go.
Eat up.
Good girl.
I love that ambition of yours.
(Prosecutor Cheon Seung Beom) Hello? Sang Pil, we need to talk.
Come to my office.
You should come to see me.
I have something to tell you.
This little brat He's hanging up on me now that he's an attorney.
- Who is he? - He wants me to come to his office instead.
I bet you don't get that in Seoul.
It's the Kiseong way though.
People are a bit rougher.
You're right.
Kiseong is Sang Pil's hometown.
Attorney Bong Sang Pil? By any chance, is he the man who recommended me to you? Well I should get going.
Lawless Law Firm.
Are you now picking a fight with the law too? You really are an outlaw, aren't you? Outlaws are those who are above the law.
My goal is to take on those with the law just like you.
Gosh.
That's a nice way to put it.
How are you doing with the bank of president's case? I didn't hear of an arrest.
An Oh Ju cleanly cut off the tail.
Are you saying that we can't bring An Oh Ju to justice? That's how it is right now with this particular case.
I laid out a seafood buffet for you, but all you did was nibble on small fishes.
That's really nothing to brag about.
Attorney Bong, watch your language.
- I'm sorry about that.
- It's all right.
Okay, I guess we have to forget about Son Sung Sik then.
I'll bring you another case.
- Thank you for coming.
- I'll call you.
I'm sorry.
Are you Ms.
Noh Hyun Joo? You Who are you? Who are you and how do you know me? I'm Jin Ae's older brother.
Choi Jin Ae.
It's been 18 years, but I'm sure you haven't forgotten.
Attorney Choi Jin Ae? Detective Wu told me before he died that you're alive.
Do you know what'll happen if the other side know you're alive? - I know.
- But still you came back here.
For 18 years, I lived alone without letting anyone in my life.
I don't want to live like that anymore.
So what's your plan? What can you do about it anyway? Judge Cha, your shoulders must be stiff from the stress generated from Son Sung Sik's case.
Do you feel better now? Judge Cha, I've been meaning to ask.
What's going to happen to Ohju Group? People have been gossiping about it.
All of An Oh Ju's shares will be donated to my father's foundation.
Chairman An sure is magnanimous.
That's right, so give him a little credit.
You never know what he truly thinks of it though.
Mayor An is the kind of person that lives and breathes for money.
Judge Cha, may I come in? My goodness, Judge Cha.
Just so you know, I took care of the bank of president's case.
He agreed to take the fall and keep our secret to his grave.
Good job, Mayor An.
I heard you're donating all your assets to Judge Cha Byung Ho's foundation.
The country must reward you for your huge donation.
You very well know that my wounds are cut wide open, but yet you spray salt on them.
You were practically robbed, so of course, you're a bit salty.
Ms.
Nam, are you expressing your concerns for me? I'm greatly touched.
I'm only scared that I'll lose what I have, so don't flatter yourself.
That reminds me.
I heard that Judge Cha had Ha Jae I's suspension lifted.
From what I hear, she's more talented than Prosecutor Kang.
Is that true? - Mayor An! - Yes? How did you know that? Judge Cha gave me the orders in secret.
Oh, well, I'm just a very intuitive man.
It was a hunch.
Take care, then.
Leave us.
You may be blind, but you're a witch who sees into people's minds.
Sorry? You've been playing me and Judge Cha.
Did you volunteer or did Mayor An order you? Just tell me that.
I don't understand what you mean.
My goodness.
You have such fair hands.
Can you tell what this is? Please.
Don't hurt me, ma'am.
Then talk! If you don't, I'll shove this in your mouth.
Ma'am, please! I'm sorry.
Did Mayor An order you? Yes, he did.
I only followed his orders.
I don't wish for anything.
All I want is to live happily with my husband and daughter.
That's all I want.
I'll help you then.
My nephew's caught up in this business anyway.
Also, Sang Pil and Jae I have gotten quite close.
I won't just sit by and let this slide anymore.
I'll do anything you ask.
I can do anything to live with my daughter.
I'll try and look for a way, so let's work on it together.
Thank you.
According to the prosecution service, Bank President Son Sung Sik confessed to all charges.
Meanwhile, Mayor An Oh Ju demonstrated his generosity.
During his surprise visit to the scholarship award ceremony of Judge Cha Byung Ho's foundation, he donated all of his Ohju Group shares keeping the promise he made about giving back to society.
Judge Cha finally gained control of Ohju Group.
An Oh Ju planned to only move his money from one pocket to another.
However, it ended up landing in someone else's.
(The Seven) I knew she was greedy for power, but her appetite for money is also grand.
We might get buried ourselves if we go after them individually.
You're right.
We need a big net to catch them all at once.
Sang Pil, I'm sorry that you weren't successful.
Son Sung Sik took all the blame, so you lost one person to get revenge on.
Why not think that I'm one step closer to getting you? I guess you're right.
Since you cut off my hand though, I should cut something of yours too.
Obviously, I should probably target someone who's very dear to you.
Try to stop me if you can.
Who was that? What? It was just a spam call.
Then what's with that face? You're going to stay at Ms.
Geum's place starting today, right? Yes.
Then you should leave early today.
What about you? I have things to finish off.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes, Uncle Dae Woong.
Where are you now? I'm on my way to Seoul to ask you a favor.
I'm in Kiseong now.
- You're in Kiseong? - Shall we grab a drink together? Sure, okay.
I came because I missed you.
You're my nephew after all, so I think of you from time to time.
I'm sorry I don't call you often enough, Uncle Dae Woong.
What can I do? I should just visit when I miss you.
An Oh Ju has declared war against me.
Did he? You threw a punch at him, so he wouldn't just sit still.
I need you to protect Jae I.
Is that why you wanted to see me? I can't be by her side all the time, you know.
Please protect her.
What about Kwang Soo? If I get him to do it, Jae I will find out everything.
If that happens, it'll get more dangerous.
Right.
There are things that you don't want your loved ones to find out.
I see that there's someone you want to protect now.
You must truly care about her.
Sang Pil.
Can't you just try to live a happy, normal life with that lady from now on? I'll deal with An Oh Ju and Cha Moon Sook.
No, I can't do that.
Please I need you to protect Jae I.
All right.
I won't let that young lady end up in danger, so don't worry.
Mr.
Mayor, everything is going according to your plan.
Yes.
Your place is so nicely decorated.
Are you going to say it doesn't suit me? No, not at all.
It totally suits you.
The bathroom is over there, and the water dispenser is here.
What you're wearing now goes with the decor.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
You can sleep here.
- Have a good night.
- Wait.
Thank you for doing this for me.
Just make yourself at home.
I live alone, so it's all good.
Let's be like sisters from now on.
We haven't known each other for long.
Since when were we that close? Since today.
My goodness.
What's wrong with you? You're so chatty today.
You should go to bed now, Sister.
Thanks, Geum Ja.
Gosh, you're making me cringe.
Did you arrive in Seoul safely? How can you leave without telling me? I'm sorry I slapped you like that.
Take good care of your health.
A few are putting up a fight, but that's all we need to sort out.
- Mr.
Union President.
- Yes, sir.
If they keep it up, just bulldoze the entire area.
If we're considerate of everyone's situation, we won't be able to achieve our goal.
It'll totally bog us down.
I'm here, sir.
What did I tell you? Didn't I say that Choi Dae Woong would come to Kiseong? - Yes, sir.
You did.
- Bong Sang Pil has no one else that he can trust.
He had no choice but to turn to Choi Dae Woong to keep his woman safe.
Yes.
You're absolutely right, sir.
You see, I'm holding two trump cards in my hand at the moment.
Now, I just need to decide which one to use and what to get from it.
Long time no see.
Is the accountant you stole from me still working out well for you? Goodness.
You've gotten quite gutsy, Gwan Dong.
How dare you stop my car? I don't get to see you often in Kiseong.
Let me take you somewhere.
I'm not here to see you.
Mayor An Oh Ju would like to meet with you.
I guess he wants to throw a welcome party for you.
An Oh Ju? Shall I bring them in, ma'am? You handpicked them yourself, right? Of course, ma'am.
Just a moment, please.
Let me introduce them to you, ma'am.
She's a masseuse with 20 years of experience.
The one in the middle has a year-long waiting list.
This lady here returned to Korea recently after living in Thailand - for a long time - Shut it! I never asked you to explain.
I have a keen eye.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's fine.
Are you all aware of what this job entails? Top expert in Kiseong deserves the job, of course.
What about you? I'm a certified acupressure practitioner, and I've mastered meridian massage therapy as well.
I'll know exactly what to do, ma'am.
Is that so? I heard that I'll have to keep my eyes and mouth shut, no matter whom I meet.
Can I have a word with you? So you lived in Thailand for a long time? Yes, ma'am.
Then I guess you probably don't know anyone in Kiseong.
That's right, ma'am.
I'll pay you three times more.
About what you said earlier Always keep it in mind.
- Bo Mi.
- Yes? I think we're out of toner.
I'll make you another case.
Now you want to boss a prosecutor around? If you join me and go after An Oh Ju, if things work out, you might reach the highest prosecutor position.
Look at you.
You're threatening me too? It's all fine, but because I put you behind bars, I don't trust you.
Sang Pil's an attorney now.
Get rid of your prejudice.
Is the chief prosecutor in with An Oh Ju? Is that all you see right now? Who else? Prosecutor Kang Yeon Hee, Attorney Go In Du, Editor-in-chief Han Tae Kyeong and Nam Soon Ja.
This buffet of yours has so many tasty delicacies.
And then at the top, there's Judge Cha Moon Sook.
What an interesting neighborhood Kiseong is.
Come in.
Prosecutor Kang? What do you want? I was assigned to work with you.
- Here? - Yes.
To teach you about Kiseong and help you.
You're no guide.
You're a spy.
Pardon? Never mind.
I hope we get along.
- Who's this? - Your new masseuse.
Go on, say hello.
Hello.
She looks familiar.
Look up.
Look up at her.
You look very cautious.
What's your name? Apinya Perompupa Charsumama.
What? Papi Pepper What? The sun will set while we say your name.
We'll just call you Mama.
Okay.
You can call me Mama.
- Begin.
- Okay.
I'll start with the feet.
Did Mr.
Ha tell Jae I or what? She challenged me outright.
That doesn't sit right with me.
(Mom's birthday) What's this? Change into this and come with me.
Attorney Ha.
Clothes? For a meeting? You should get ready.
If it's a meeting, I'm going with you, right? Oh, right.
I left some papers on your desk.
Submit them to court for me, please.
Clothes? Wait.
Colleagues shouldn't act like this.
Goodbye.
It's not my luck to have an attorney brother-in-law.
Oh, gosh.
It's hot! What should I get? It suits you nicely.
I look good in pretty much anything.
Why do we need flowers? You said we are going for a meeting? Oh, right.
I should choose.
It's only right for the giver to pick out the flowers.
It's pretty.
These will do.
Do you have a harmonica at home? What? A harmonica? Yes.
Bong Sang Pil.
Where are we going? Are you tired? Sorry.
We're almost there.
Hurry up.
I'm exhausted.
Special events aren't for him.
I can't figure him out.
Why? Shall I carry you again? - Hey.
- I'm exhausted.
Don't be so grouchy.
Be good, Jae I.
Here.
Are you going to confess? Let's go.
It's nice.
You're slacking off in the name of a meeting.
You should've said so.
Then I'd have worn sneakers.
Really? Why is there a cake? - Is this - It's your mother's birthday.
You wanted to celebrate it.
I don't know her age.
I bought a set.
There.
Isn't my mom young? She really is young.
I really didn't imagine you'd do this.
Mom.
Attorney Bong set things up today.
But I'll celebrate for you from now on.
Sorry.
Madam.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday dear Mom - Happy birthday dear madam - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you Happy birthday.
Don't cry.
Thanks, Attorney Bong.
Blow out the candles.
What's wrong with you? You surprised me.
You ruined my pretty face.
I thought your mom would like to see you smile.
She would, right? It's my mom's cake so I'll Don't be silly.
Okay.
I'll wipe it off for you.
There you go.
- Mr.
Mayor.
- What? Oh, I see.
You're here.
Did my guys make any mistakes on your way here? Since I'm in Kiseong, I wanted to meet you anyway.
This is nice.
Please have a seat.
We've never met before, but you look very familiar.
I do? I feel the same say.
I heard so much about you from Sang Pil when he was young.
We'd make friends soon.
I think this is enough.
We should go have some soju together later.
Okay? Friends? Okay.
We can give it a try.
All right then.
Speaking of which, you and I should settle things up.
Go back to Seoul with Bong Sang Pil.
He worked for more than 18 years for this.
He wouldn't leave that easy.
I know what to do.
A contract.
It will settle things out.
It's your dead body that will settle things out.
You And who was that? The lady with a gavel.
Gosh.
We're not speaking the same language.
We're not going to be friends.
An Oh Ju.
You jerk.
Gosh, that's so efficacious.
He didn't even last for 10 seconds.
Make sure to take care of the rest.
Yes, Mr.
Mayor.
Get rid of him.
Thank you so much for today.
I'll go in now.
You have a lot of special events for me.
Don't worry.
I'll protect you no matter what.
Protect me from what? So if something happens Bong Sang Pil.
I'll come running to you.
Okay? Okay.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Hey.
Wake up.
You scumbag.
What do you think you're doing? Your precious nephew, Bong Sang Pil, is coming.
What? He'd want to stay by your deathbed.
Hey.
Get ready.
(Lawless Law Firm) You're here.
Hey, Bong Sang Pil.
I think this happened before.
Now your uncle is close to death.
What will you do? Do you think you can make it on time? Sang Pil.
You must not come! It's a trap.
Sang Pil! Don't come here! Uncle Dae Woong! We'll get ready immediately.
No.
You stay and protect Attorney Ha.
Protect me? What does that mean? Nothing.
I'll be right back.
We talked about this.
You have to tell me everything.
I'll tell you later.
What is going on, Sang Pil? Grab Attorney Ha.
Now! I'm sorry, Attorney Ha.
Let go of me.
Bong Sang Pil! Get off! Make sure to keep her safe until I come back.
Sang Pil! Where are you going? Get off me! What are you doing in front of the table? Just eat.
The exam is close at hand.
How can I eat? You're a good fighter, but why are you being a coward? I heard your teachers say that you'd get the top score.
No way.
My grade is nowhere close to the top score.
Once you pass the bar exam, you'll quit fighting as you promised.
Okay? Uncle Dae Woong.
I've given it a lot of thought.
I should be an attorney using my fists instead.
The world doesn't always work out the way the law says after all.
You should use your fists only when you have to.
To protect your precious people.
Precious people? Do you know why I can't quit this crap? It's so that I can protect you.
No No.
Bong Sang Pil! Good luck saving your uncle.
Uncle Dae Woong! No No! I got you.
Let go, Sang Pil.
I can't.
No, I won't.
I'm already a dead man.
Uncle Dae Woong! You'll end up killing yourself too! Let go! No.
Uncle Dae Woong, I ran leaving Mom behind.
I won't ever do that again! Hold on.
After I die, don't think about getting revenge.
Sang Pil Promise me you'll be a good lawyer.
Also, find happiness.
Uncle Dae Woong! No, don't! Don't let go! No, no! No, Uncle Dae Woong! Do you really not know? He kept me in the dark too.
That's the truth.
You're under arrest for murder.
You have the right to have an attorney and the right to defend yourself.
I have a bad feeling about this.
He only went alone because it's dangerous.
We need to find him right now.
Open up, it's us! What's going to happen to Attorney Bong? Turn on the news.
Quickly! - Hurry up! - What? At a redevelopment area in Kiseong, a grotesque murder has occurred.
- What should we do? - At an abandoned building in Chilhyeon-dong of Kiseong, - a nephew stabbed his uncle - What are we going to do? He then dropped his uncle from the roof and ended his life.
Attorney Bong, the suspect, is an ex-convict and is a known member of the deceased's gang known as Dae Woong Gang.
The police suspect that Attorney Bong has been planning for a while to murder his uncle which only adds to the shocking nature of the crime.
Oh, dear.
Bong Sang Pil Now what will you do? (Lawless Lawyer) Attorney Bong is innocent.
You know very well yourself.
The trial began the moment he was arrested.
Don't tell me you believe in coincidence.
It's not coincidence, but part of a well-known plan.
I'm sure there are holes in their trap.
Kiseong is my nest.
I'll kill those that aren't loyal to me.
Don't do anything.
That's an order.
What if Uncle Dae Woong was planning on something?
Gosh I'm sorry.
Are you all right? Yes.
Wait, you dropped this.
Jae I.
What's wrong? Is it someone you know? What? No.
What's this? I don't know.
She left this.
Jae I.
It's me, your mom.
Attorney Ha Jae I's mother is alive.
(Attorney Ha Jae I's mother is alive, Wu Hyung Man) I'm here, Boss.
(Episode 8) I need you to find someone.
As soon as possible.
I got a call from the bar association today.
My suspension has been lifted.
Congratulations on being able to work as an attorney again, Jae I.
I didn't tell Dad that Judge Cha got it lifted for me, so I feel bad.
I'm a daddy's girl, so I used to keep no secrets from him.
But I keep having to hide things from him these days.
Why aren't you drinking? I'm the only one who's been drinking.
You're so drunk now.
I should stay sober.
I'm not drunk at all.
Drink up.
You shouldn't drink anymore.
More! You're very cute when you're drunk, Jae I.
Bong Sang Pil.
Hang in there.
I'll take you home soon.
I didn't know that your back was so broad.
My gosh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Is it your first time visiting Judge Cha's place? Yes, I did visit her family home when her father was alive, but it is my first time here.
She rarely invites an outsider - to her place.
- I see.
It means that she thinks very highly of you.
Welcome, Mr.
Ha.
My gosh, Judge Cha.
I'm much obliged.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Judge Cha's autobiography will come out soon.
Oh, really? Right, who will write an autobiography if you don't? I need a photo for my autobiography.
I'd like to ask you to take it.
My gosh, you don't even have to ask.
I should take it for you, of course.
I'm always grateful to you for taking my father's photo.
It was a great honor for me.
Jae I can go back to working as an attorney now, so you must be relieved.
Yes.
Of course, ma'am.
That only happened because Judge Cha filed a complaint to the disciplinary committee and the administrative court to get her suspension lifted.
Oh, I see.
My goodness, I didn't know.
Thank you very much.
Judge Cha, I don't even know how to thank you for everything.
- Please have a seat.
- Okay.
I'm not sure why Jae I didn't tell you.
She's too good to just stay here in Kiseong.
You should send her back to Seoul.
I'll find a good law firm for her.
Okay, Judge Cha.
Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- But I don't know if she'll be willing to leave Kiseong.
It looks like she and Attorney Bong have gotten very close.
No.
I'll send her to Seoul right away.
Yes.
- Goodbye.
- Take care.
Did you get her suspension lifted to manipulate him, not Ha Jae I? She never goes against her father, you know.
I thought you did it because you were fond of her.
My gosh, I still have a long way to go to be as astute as you are.
Goodness me.
What's this smell? Something stinks.
Disinfect everything right away.
And wash the carpet Mr.
Ha stepped on immediately.
Okay, ma'am.
Gosh, I'm just going to sleep at a hotel tonight.
Bring my stuff.
Got it, Judge Cha.
What? Gosh, Sang Pil.
Get me down.
Why? Just stay like that.
Get me down.
This is my dad's photo studio.
- It's okay.
- Get me down now.
- Oh, no.
My shoes.
- Look at that.
Even your feet are pretty, Jae I.
Be careful.
There.
Gosh, my shoes.
Jae I.
Dad.
I drank a little.
Hello, Mr.
Ha.
Let's go inside.
Dad.
Where have you been at this late hour? I heard Judge Cha got your suspension lifted for you.
Why didn't you tell me? Did you just meet with her? Yes.
She said that she'll find a big law firm in Seoul for you.
You should never forget how much she's done for you.
Judge Cha isn't the kind of person you think she is.
What did you just say? How dare you speak so rudely? Go get some rest.
Mom's disappearance Judge Cha was behind it.
What? What did you say? Dad.
It was all Cha Moon Sook's doing.
How dare you! You're being like this because of Bong Sang Pil, right? I know everything! Dad.
Pack up your stuff and go to Seoul this instant.
What brings you here at this hour? What's this? Can I stay here for the next little while? Here? - Is something - Don't ask.
You fought with your dad.
Because of me? No.
It was because of me.
If I stay with Dad, I thought I'd tell him all about Judge Cha, so I left.
Well done.
What do you want? An Americano or a latte? An Americano.
Okay.
Barista Bong's Americano is coming up.
Wait just a bit.
Here's your coffee.
It tastes good.
What was your mother like? My mom? A nurse.
She was a nurse-like attorney.
When I was hospitalized as a kid, the nurse came to check my wounds even when I didn't ask her to, and she checked my temperature all night.
And asked if I was in pain.
That's how my mom was like to her clients.
I'd like to be an attorney like that.
That's why my mom asked your mom for help.
I guess? Do you dream of becoming an attorney like her too? First, I want to see Judge Cha be judged.
Only then I can figure out what kind of an attorney I'll be.
Okay.
My mom's birthday is coming up.
I didn't do anything for her.
You were too young back then.
So was I.
Shall I show you something? - What? - Watch.
This is a massage chair.
It's so relaxing.
We confirmed the Thai woman's arrival.
Two days ago through Incheon Airport.
- I see.
- I think she's in Kiseong.
In Kiseong? Yes.
Man Bae.
Yes, boss.
I must be away for a few days.
Watch things while I'm gone.
I'll send some men with you.
No.
I must go alone this time.
(Welcome, Mayor An) - Welcome.
- You're all hard at work.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Could you smile for us? - Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
The room is yours.
When will you get me out? I did what I did because you had my back.
Oh, dear.
You want me to get you out? You have to take the fall for this one.
Isn't that obvious? What? You thug.
You're speaking your mind now? I'm what, a thug? - A thug? - Hey.
I won't go down alone.
Are you saying you'll take your whole family down with you? No husband and father should do that.
This.
Isn't this your daughter? You raised her well.
She's pretty.
Here.
I'll let you talk to her.
Who's this? I was concerned for your daughter.
I have some burly men watching out for her.
How dare you You - You - Whether those burly men will protect her or make her a victim of a random attack.
That's all up to you, isn't it? This lawyer I know worked for 18 years to gain revenge for his mother.
What is there a husband and father won't do for his family? I did it all.
You'll take the fall? I committed a crime.
I will pay the price.
Do you think I won't be able to get to An Oh Ju? Go for it if you can.
I bet there's nothing you can do.
The chief prosecutor asked for you.
He seems to want to close the case.
Sir! What are you doing? An Oh Ju visited the prison and talked to President Son.
Prosecutor Cheon.
Don't get too worked up.
You can't prove anything with what you have right now.
I have to sit and watch while they sacrifice him? That's enough.
That jerk.
A toast to Attorney Ha Jae I! - Cheers! - Cheers! - Bottom's up.
- Bottom's up.
You went from a paralegal to an attorney.
I'll work hard for Lawless Law Firm.
Attorney Ha, for you.
You all should eat up.
A loan shark office in the outskirts of Kiseong became a law firm with two attorneys.
I have a feeling it was all down to me.
Geum Kang, you're doing well.
It's nothing.
- We have a problem.
- What is it? We don't have a paralegal.
Mr.
Tae will always be a director.
Do you think I could help? - You can't even add numbers.
- What? Geum Ja's a human calculator.
As of today, Geum Ja is our new paralegal.
Applause.
Really? That means I'll have to be with you at all times, Attorney Bong.
Work hard.
Work hard.
- Thanks.
- Attorney Ha.
Did you work late and spend the night at the office? Well Attention, please.
Attorney Ha's family has some issues, so she'll be staying at our office for a while, okay? A woman, away from home? For longer than a few days? No way.
I don't mind, Geum Ja.
But I do.
Stay with me.
Can I do that? Come over today.
That's good.
- Geum Ja.
- What? Stop trying to break those two up.
You're only wasting your time.
Just you wait and see.
I'll make sure you climb up the social ladder - Oh, gosh.
- as Attorney Bong's brother-in-law.
- Go, Hook of Kiseong.
- Go, go.
Eat up.
Good girl.
I love that ambition of yours.
(Prosecutor Cheon Seung Beom) Hello? Sang Pil, we need to talk.
Come to my office.
You should come to see me.
I have something to tell you.
This little brat He's hanging up on me now that he's an attorney.
- Who is he? - He wants me to come to his office instead.
I bet you don't get that in Seoul.
It's the Kiseong way though.
People are a bit rougher.
You're right.
Kiseong is Sang Pil's hometown.
Attorney Bong Sang Pil? By any chance, is he the man who recommended me to you? Well I should get going.
Lawless Law Firm.
Are you now picking a fight with the law too? You really are an outlaw, aren't you? Outlaws are those who are above the law.
My goal is to take on those with the law just like you.
Gosh.
That's a nice way to put it.
How are you doing with the bank of president's case? I didn't hear of an arrest.
An Oh Ju cleanly cut off the tail.
Are you saying that we can't bring An Oh Ju to justice? That's how it is right now with this particular case.
I laid out a seafood buffet for you, but all you did was nibble on small fishes.
That's really nothing to brag about.
Attorney Bong, watch your language.
- I'm sorry about that.
- It's all right.
Okay, I guess we have to forget about Son Sung Sik then.
I'll bring you another case.
- Thank you for coming.
- I'll call you.
I'm sorry.
Are you Ms.
Noh Hyun Joo? You Who are you? Who are you and how do you know me? I'm Jin Ae's older brother.
Choi Jin Ae.
It's been 18 years, but I'm sure you haven't forgotten.
Attorney Choi Jin Ae? Detective Wu told me before he died that you're alive.
Do you know what'll happen if the other side know you're alive? - I know.
- But still you came back here.
For 18 years, I lived alone without letting anyone in my life.
I don't want to live like that anymore.
So what's your plan? What can you do about it anyway? Judge Cha, your shoulders must be stiff from the stress generated from Son Sung Sik's case.
Do you feel better now? Judge Cha, I've been meaning to ask.
What's going to happen to Ohju Group? People have been gossiping about it.
All of An Oh Ju's shares will be donated to my father's foundation.
Chairman An sure is magnanimous.
That's right, so give him a little credit.
You never know what he truly thinks of it though.
Mayor An is the kind of person that lives and breathes for money.
Judge Cha, may I come in? My goodness, Judge Cha.
Just so you know, I took care of the bank of president's case.
He agreed to take the fall and keep our secret to his grave.
Good job, Mayor An.
I heard you're donating all your assets to Judge Cha Byung Ho's foundation.
The country must reward you for your huge donation.
You very well know that my wounds are cut wide open, but yet you spray salt on them.
You were practically robbed, so of course, you're a bit salty.
Ms.
Nam, are you expressing your concerns for me? I'm greatly touched.
I'm only scared that I'll lose what I have, so don't flatter yourself.
That reminds me.
I heard that Judge Cha had Ha Jae I's suspension lifted.
From what I hear, she's more talented than Prosecutor Kang.
Is that true? - Mayor An! - Yes? How did you know that? Judge Cha gave me the orders in secret.
Oh, well, I'm just a very intuitive man.
It was a hunch.
Take care, then.
Leave us.
You may be blind, but you're a witch who sees into people's minds.
Sorry? You've been playing me and Judge Cha.
Did you volunteer or did Mayor An order you? Just tell me that.
I don't understand what you mean.
My goodness.
You have such fair hands.
Can you tell what this is? Please.
Don't hurt me, ma'am.
Then talk! If you don't, I'll shove this in your mouth.
Ma'am, please! I'm sorry.
Did Mayor An order you? Yes, he did.
I only followed his orders.
I don't wish for anything.
All I want is to live happily with my husband and daughter.
That's all I want.
I'll help you then.
My nephew's caught up in this business anyway.
Also, Sang Pil and Jae I have gotten quite close.
I won't just sit by and let this slide anymore.
I'll do anything you ask.
I can do anything to live with my daughter.
I'll try and look for a way, so let's work on it together.
Thank you.
According to the prosecution service, Bank President Son Sung Sik confessed to all charges.
Meanwhile, Mayor An Oh Ju demonstrated his generosity.
During his surprise visit to the scholarship award ceremony of Judge Cha Byung Ho's foundation, he donated all of his Ohju Group shares keeping the promise he made about giving back to society.
Judge Cha finally gained control of Ohju Group.
An Oh Ju planned to only move his money from one pocket to another.
However, it ended up landing in someone else's.
(The Seven) I knew she was greedy for power, but her appetite for money is also grand.
We might get buried ourselves if we go after them individually.
You're right.
We need a big net to catch them all at once.
Sang Pil, I'm sorry that you weren't successful.
Son Sung Sik took all the blame, so you lost one person to get revenge on.
Why not think that I'm one step closer to getting you? I guess you're right.
Since you cut off my hand though, I should cut something of yours too.
Obviously, I should probably target someone who's very dear to you.
Try to stop me if you can.
Who was that? What? It was just a spam call.
Then what's with that face? You're going to stay at Ms.
Geum's place starting today, right? Yes.
Then you should leave early today.
What about you? I have things to finish off.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes, Uncle Dae Woong.
Where are you now? I'm on my way to Seoul to ask you a favor.
I'm in Kiseong now.
- You're in Kiseong? - Shall we grab a drink together? Sure, okay.
I came because I missed you.
You're my nephew after all, so I think of you from time to time.
I'm sorry I don't call you often enough, Uncle Dae Woong.
What can I do? I should just visit when I miss you.
An Oh Ju has declared war against me.
Did he? You threw a punch at him, so he wouldn't just sit still.
I need you to protect Jae I.
Is that why you wanted to see me? I can't be by her side all the time, you know.
Please protect her.
What about Kwang Soo? If I get him to do it, Jae I will find out everything.
If that happens, it'll get more dangerous.
Right.
There are things that you don't want your loved ones to find out.
I see that there's someone you want to protect now.
You must truly care about her.
Sang Pil.
Can't you just try to live a happy, normal life with that lady from now on? I'll deal with An Oh Ju and Cha Moon Sook.
No, I can't do that.
Please I need you to protect Jae I.
All right.
I won't let that young lady end up in danger, so don't worry.
Mr.
Mayor, everything is going according to your plan.
Yes.
Your place is so nicely decorated.
Are you going to say it doesn't suit me? No, not at all.
It totally suits you.
The bathroom is over there, and the water dispenser is here.
What you're wearing now goes with the decor.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
You can sleep here.
- Have a good night.
- Wait.
Thank you for doing this for me.
Just make yourself at home.
I live alone, so it's all good.
Let's be like sisters from now on.
We haven't known each other for long.
Since when were we that close? Since today.
My goodness.
What's wrong with you? You're so chatty today.
You should go to bed now, Sister.
Thanks, Geum Ja.
Gosh, you're making me cringe.
Did you arrive in Seoul safely? How can you leave without telling me? I'm sorry I slapped you like that.
Take good care of your health.
A few are putting up a fight, but that's all we need to sort out.
- Mr.
Union President.
- Yes, sir.
If they keep it up, just bulldoze the entire area.
If we're considerate of everyone's situation, we won't be able to achieve our goal.
It'll totally bog us down.
I'm here, sir.
What did I tell you? Didn't I say that Choi Dae Woong would come to Kiseong? - Yes, sir.
You did.
- Bong Sang Pil has no one else that he can trust.
He had no choice but to turn to Choi Dae Woong to keep his woman safe.
Yes.
You're absolutely right, sir.
You see, I'm holding two trump cards in my hand at the moment.
Now, I just need to decide which one to use and what to get from it.
Long time no see.
Is the accountant you stole from me still working out well for you? Goodness.
You've gotten quite gutsy, Gwan Dong.
How dare you stop my car? I don't get to see you often in Kiseong.
Let me take you somewhere.
I'm not here to see you.
Mayor An Oh Ju would like to meet with you.
I guess he wants to throw a welcome party for you.
An Oh Ju? Shall I bring them in, ma'am? You handpicked them yourself, right? Of course, ma'am.
Just a moment, please.
Let me introduce them to you, ma'am.
She's a masseuse with 20 years of experience.
The one in the middle has a year-long waiting list.
This lady here returned to Korea recently after living in Thailand - for a long time - Shut it! I never asked you to explain.
I have a keen eye.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's fine.
Are you all aware of what this job entails? Top expert in Kiseong deserves the job, of course.
What about you? I'm a certified acupressure practitioner, and I've mastered meridian massage therapy as well.
I'll know exactly what to do, ma'am.
Is that so? I heard that I'll have to keep my eyes and mouth shut, no matter whom I meet.
Can I have a word with you? So you lived in Thailand for a long time? Yes, ma'am.
Then I guess you probably don't know anyone in Kiseong.
That's right, ma'am.
I'll pay you three times more.
About what you said earlier Always keep it in mind.
- Bo Mi.
- Yes? I think we're out of toner.
I'll make you another case.
Now you want to boss a prosecutor around? If you join me and go after An Oh Ju, if things work out, you might reach the highest prosecutor position.
Look at you.
You're threatening me too? It's all fine, but because I put you behind bars, I don't trust you.
Sang Pil's an attorney now.
Get rid of your prejudice.
Is the chief prosecutor in with An Oh Ju? Is that all you see right now? Who else? Prosecutor Kang Yeon Hee, Attorney Go In Du, Editor-in-chief Han Tae Kyeong and Nam Soon Ja.
This buffet of yours has so many tasty delicacies.
And then at the top, there's Judge Cha Moon Sook.
What an interesting neighborhood Kiseong is.
Come in.
Prosecutor Kang? What do you want? I was assigned to work with you.
- Here? - Yes.
To teach you about Kiseong and help you.
You're no guide.
You're a spy.
Pardon? Never mind.
I hope we get along.
- Who's this? - Your new masseuse.
Go on, say hello.
Hello.
She looks familiar.
Look up.
Look up at her.
You look very cautious.
What's your name? Apinya Perompupa Charsumama.
What? Papi Pepper What? The sun will set while we say your name.
We'll just call you Mama.
Okay.
You can call me Mama.
- Begin.
- Okay.
I'll start with the feet.
Did Mr.
Ha tell Jae I or what? She challenged me outright.
That doesn't sit right with me.
(Mom's birthday) What's this? Change into this and come with me.
Attorney Ha.
Clothes? For a meeting? You should get ready.
If it's a meeting, I'm going with you, right? Oh, right.
I left some papers on your desk.
Submit them to court for me, please.
Clothes? Wait.
Colleagues shouldn't act like this.
Goodbye.
It's not my luck to have an attorney brother-in-law.
Oh, gosh.
It's hot! What should I get? It suits you nicely.
I look good in pretty much anything.
Why do we need flowers? You said we are going for a meeting? Oh, right.
I should choose.
It's only right for the giver to pick out the flowers.
It's pretty.
These will do.
Do you have a harmonica at home? What? A harmonica? Yes.
Bong Sang Pil.
Where are we going? Are you tired? Sorry.
We're almost there.
Hurry up.
I'm exhausted.
Special events aren't for him.
I can't figure him out.
Why? Shall I carry you again? - Hey.
- I'm exhausted.
Don't be so grouchy.
Be good, Jae I.
Here.
Are you going to confess? Let's go.
It's nice.
You're slacking off in the name of a meeting.
You should've said so.
Then I'd have worn sneakers.
Really? Why is there a cake? - Is this - It's your mother's birthday.
You wanted to celebrate it.
I don't know her age.
I bought a set.
There.
Isn't my mom young? She really is young.
I really didn't imagine you'd do this.
Mom.
Attorney Bong set things up today.
But I'll celebrate for you from now on.
Sorry.
Madam.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday dear Mom - Happy birthday dear madam - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you Happy birthday.
Don't cry.
Thanks, Attorney Bong.
Blow out the candles.
What's wrong with you? You surprised me.
You ruined my pretty face.
I thought your mom would like to see you smile.
She would, right? It's my mom's cake so I'll Don't be silly.
Okay.
I'll wipe it off for you.
There you go.
- Mr.
Mayor.
- What? Oh, I see.
You're here.
Did my guys make any mistakes on your way here? Since I'm in Kiseong, I wanted to meet you anyway.
This is nice.
Please have a seat.
We've never met before, but you look very familiar.
I do? I feel the same say.
I heard so much about you from Sang Pil when he was young.
We'd make friends soon.
I think this is enough.
We should go have some soju together later.
Okay? Friends? Okay.
We can give it a try.
All right then.
Speaking of which, you and I should settle things up.
Go back to Seoul with Bong Sang Pil.
He worked for more than 18 years for this.
He wouldn't leave that easy.
I know what to do.
A contract.
It will settle things out.
It's your dead body that will settle things out.
You And who was that? The lady with a gavel.
Gosh.
We're not speaking the same language.
We're not going to be friends.
An Oh Ju.
You jerk.
Gosh, that's so efficacious.
He didn't even last for 10 seconds.
Make sure to take care of the rest.
Yes, Mr.
Mayor.
Get rid of him.
Thank you so much for today.
I'll go in now.
You have a lot of special events for me.
Don't worry.
I'll protect you no matter what.
Protect me from what? So if something happens Bong Sang Pil.
I'll come running to you.
Okay? Okay.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
Hey.
Wake up.
You scumbag.
What do you think you're doing? Your precious nephew, Bong Sang Pil, is coming.
What? He'd want to stay by your deathbed.
Hey.
Get ready.
(Lawless Law Firm) You're here.
Hey, Bong Sang Pil.
I think this happened before.
Now your uncle is close to death.
What will you do? Do you think you can make it on time? Sang Pil.
You must not come! It's a trap.
Sang Pil! Don't come here! Uncle Dae Woong! We'll get ready immediately.
No.
You stay and protect Attorney Ha.
Protect me? What does that mean? Nothing.
I'll be right back.
We talked about this.
You have to tell me everything.
I'll tell you later.
What is going on, Sang Pil? Grab Attorney Ha.
Now! I'm sorry, Attorney Ha.
Let go of me.
Bong Sang Pil! Get off! Make sure to keep her safe until I come back.
Sang Pil! Where are you going? Get off me! What are you doing in front of the table? Just eat.
The exam is close at hand.
How can I eat? You're a good fighter, but why are you being a coward? I heard your teachers say that you'd get the top score.
No way.
My grade is nowhere close to the top score.
Once you pass the bar exam, you'll quit fighting as you promised.
Okay? Uncle Dae Woong.
I've given it a lot of thought.
I should be an attorney using my fists instead.
The world doesn't always work out the way the law says after all.
You should use your fists only when you have to.
To protect your precious people.
Precious people? Do you know why I can't quit this crap? It's so that I can protect you.
No No.
Bong Sang Pil! Good luck saving your uncle.
Uncle Dae Woong! No No! I got you.
Let go, Sang Pil.
I can't.
No, I won't.
I'm already a dead man.
Uncle Dae Woong! You'll end up killing yourself too! Let go! No.
Uncle Dae Woong, I ran leaving Mom behind.
I won't ever do that again! Hold on.
After I die, don't think about getting revenge.
Sang Pil Promise me you'll be a good lawyer.
Also, find happiness.
Uncle Dae Woong! No, don't! Don't let go! No, no! No, Uncle Dae Woong! Do you really not know? He kept me in the dark too.
That's the truth.
You're under arrest for murder.
You have the right to have an attorney and the right to defend yourself.
I have a bad feeling about this.
He only went alone because it's dangerous.
We need to find him right now.
Open up, it's us! What's going to happen to Attorney Bong? Turn on the news.
Quickly! - Hurry up! - What? At a redevelopment area in Kiseong, a grotesque murder has occurred.
- What should we do? - At an abandoned building in Chilhyeon-dong of Kiseong, - a nephew stabbed his uncle - What are we going to do? He then dropped his uncle from the roof and ended his life.
Attorney Bong, the suspect, is an ex-convict and is a known member of the deceased's gang known as Dae Woong Gang.
The police suspect that Attorney Bong has been planning for a while to murder his uncle which only adds to the shocking nature of the crime.
Oh, dear.
Bong Sang Pil Now what will you do? (Lawless Lawyer) Attorney Bong is innocent.
