Your wife brought her case to us.
She wants us to represent her at this trial.
Let's break up, Kang Tae Wook.
I'm so sorry.
I'm hurting because of you.
What should I do?
Should I proceed with it?
I will do it.
I am going to do it.
Hello.
I am your lawyer, Kang Tae Wook.
What are you doing here?
I started working for Kang Yool yesterday in order to work on this case.
There are five days until the trial.
Even if you got a very good lawyer
they could not know the details of the case and the evidence in five days.
Filing the necessary motions would be impossible.
Whether I lose or win, it's my trial. It's my case and I'll handle it.
Is there anyone who knows this case better than I do?
I am the only lawyer at Kang Yool who can handle this case.
I am the only lawyer who can protect you.
- Tae Wook. - It's Lawyer Kang Tae Wook.
Please call me that, Go Hye Ran.
What are you up to?
From now on...
I will only refer to you as my client.
All right.
Can we discuss the trial now?
[Episode 12: New Trial]
So, to summarize, we are doing your wife's case.
But, we are affiliated with Kang Yool Law Firm.
Though we are physically in this office.
We are employees of Kang Yool? Is that right?
Yes.
If you are lacking manpower or resources, Kang Yool will support you.
Well, then...
can I have Kang Yool on my business card?
I need more information on the witness.
Please find out more personal details about him.
Also, regarding Prosecutor Byun...
Please find out who he plans on calling as witnesses.
Of course.
We are making our first impression.
We have to win our first case at Kang Yool.
I'll be out in the field then.
I want to achieve justice... Kang Yool.
A witness?
What do you mean, a witness?
Who? Who saw what?
We don't have that information.
We won't know until the trial what that witness saw.
It could be a harder fight than we thought.
You will need to prepare yourself, Go Hye Ran.
You know...
Even little kids know all about the Kevin Lee murder case.
Why do you think the witness showed up just now?
Why would you show up so late?
Hm... number one.
I wouldn't want to get caught up in a murder case.
Number two.
Still, I have to do what is right.
He was conflicted, and finally showed up?
It's the most conventional explanation, but it makes the most sense.
Isn't it a relief though?
Our team leader, who insisted it was Go Hye Ran on nothing but a feeling...
You were under so much pressure and about to lose honorable retirement.
Then things changed just like that.
See, you punks. What did I say?
You tiny, little punks.
You dare to look down on a policeman?
Get on your knees, all of you...
You bastards.
Ah, they deserve it.
- Yes. - But, damn it.
Why do I have such a bad feeling?
What is it now?
You have a witness, so what could be wrong?
I know, but...
I feel really crappy.

[Manager]
The customer cannot take your call. Please leave a voice message.
Dong Hyun, where are you?
Pick up the phone.
Don't do anything foolish, okay?
Are these all the headlines?
Uh, yes.
The country is relatively stable right now.
You know how it is.
When there's peace in the world, the news will be ruined.
I'm sorry.
Soon, warm spring days will be here.
It seems wrong to continue with gloomy headlines about Jung Dae Han.
Go Hye Ran.
Aren't you going to focus?
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're disrespecting me outright now.
- That's not it. - If that's not...
I heard your trial is the day after tomorrow.
You're not sitting here worrying about your trial, are you?
You can't even separate your work and personal life.
How can you sit in my seat then, hm?
Why does the current affairs news look like this?
The police department hasn't sent the files yet.
Get it done when it's ready.
Go Hye Ran, you can do it. Collect it all and get it ready.
I will do it.
She's not doing much anyway.
She should help her busy juniors.
Gather the files and keep what we should, okay?
No, I will do it.
All right. I will have it ready in an hour as high priority.
As for the 70 minute investigative news piece...
hurry up and submit your ideas!
Yes.
What is this?
Gosh, the mood in the newsroom...
You shouldn't be greedy for everything.
Does she think anyone can have the title of director?
Are you saying that for me to hear?
Speak up louder then.
I was talking to myself!
Can't I even talk to myself?
Then talk quietly to yourself and end it there.
The moment people can hear, it becomes noise.
All right, fine!
You're so great, aren't you?
You must be so happy because you're great.
Keep living that way.
I'll live my way.
What is the skill that Senior Go has?
Former anchor who is accused of murder.
The trial results aren't even out yet.
Even being connected to that case is reason enough for dismissal.
She even got an offer for director.
That was directly from the vice president.
Gosh, I'm sure they were shock.
They saw that Congressman Jung Dae Han was taken down with one blow.
So, the vice president did that out of fear?
And Senior Go Hye Ran took the offer?
Honestly, that's the part I don't understand.
No matter what, she wouldn't join forces with just anyone.
It must be one of two things.
Either she is so desperate that she has to grab onto someone's hand...
or she wants to screw someone over that badly.
Screw someone over?
Who?
Wouldn't it be one of the two?
The vice president or Director Jang.
I have to talk to you about the case. I'm in the underground parking lot.
[Seo Eun Joo]
The caller cannot take your call...
Aren't you going in?
We should eat, no matter how busy we are.
Let's talk while we eat.
It's been a long time since you came out for dinner on a weekday.
Where do you usually eat?
The station cafeteria?
- Tae Wook... - You often skip dinner, right?
You probably had no time for dinner because of News Nine.
I'll get going if this isn't about the trial.
Honestly, I thought you were the only bad one.
Ever since the baby.
Our marriage had cooled. All you did was work, work, work.
I thought it was your fault for only working and caring about success.
For seven years, I blamed only you.
I said I loved you.
I trapped you in a marriage.
I forced the answers I wanted from you and made it difficult for you.
And I...
was hurt because you didn't understand this marriage.
So, I started to treat you poorly.
What are you trying to say?
I'm apologizing for my stupid pride.
You don't need to apologize.
And I don't have the right to receive an apology.
We weren't on the same page.
But, it wasn't one person's fault.
From the very beginning...
our goals for this marriage were different.
You said it was love though.
You said so.
You said you thought you loved me.
That's why I want to stop.
I know why you wanted to hire Kang Yool for this trial.
I know who you want to target after Jung Dae Han too.
Let's do it together.
It has nothing to do with you.
Whatever you are doing, I'm the only one who can protect you.
No, I can protect myself.
Like I always have.
I'll handle this myself.
Hye Ran.
Even if you do this...
nothing will change.
You cannot go back and change anything, Lawyer Kang Tae Wook.
- I know. - You know, but what?
I still want to fix it somehow.
Everything that I destroyed and ruined...
I want to fix it, Hye Ran.
Give me a chance.
Oh... what brings you by?
You know Baek Dong Hyun, my late husband's manager?
I haven't been able to contact him since yesterday and he won't pick up his phone.
For some reason...
I have a very bad feeling, Detective.
[Detective Kang Ki Joon]
This is Kang Tae Wook. What can I do for you?
Are you all right?
Hye Ran.
Oh, thank you.
I'll pick you up from home and work, from now on.
There's no reason for that. I can call a taxi.
See you tomorrow morning, Go Hye Ran.
Good night.
What's going on here?
As I told you on the phone
Kevin Lee's former manager, Baek Dong Hyun...
I'm asking you why Baek Dong Hyun is threatening my wife.
He believes that Go Hye Ran killed Kevin Lee.
That's why.
Did you plan this too, Seo Eun Joo?
What are you talking about?
You accused her and threatened her.
You went to the station and attempted to assault her.
Now, you have a person doing that for you?
Look, Kang Tae Wook.
I did my best to stop this by calling you.
You weren't answering the phone, so I went to see Detective Kang.
Why are you suddenly worried about Hye Ran?
I'm not worried about Hye Ran. I'm worried about Dong Hyun.
She will be declared guilty in court and it will end anyway.
I don't want him to do anything stupid and get in trouble.
Do you think I will lose the trial?
I heard that there is a witness.
Even if it is you, Lawyer Kang, you can't turn this situation around.
I will get a restraining order against Baek Dong Hyun tomorrow morning.
If he tries to attack her again...
I will make a formal complaint against him for these threats.
Do you think I will lose the trial?
Tell me, tell me the truth.
Tell me the truth about how you feel.
Do you love me and how much?
Tell me the truth about how you feel.
Think about it. Think about that time...
What is it?
What about the song? [Lawyer Kang Tae Wook]
Continue, continue.
It's me.
Did you find out anything about the witness?
He's usually not so secretive.
But he's just not talking today.
It seems like Prosecutor Byun warned everyone to keep quiet.
He's been complaining about how he'll be in big trouble if he talks.
He's been singing for two hours though.
What should I do?
[Ha Myung Woo]
Ah, I forgot to buy kimchi.
[Lawyer Kang Tae Wook]
Yes, it's me.
You've been waiting, right?
You can leave. Go.
Thank you. You can go.
Manager Jung, what are you doing here?
I'm here to take you to work, Anchor Go.
Lawyer Kang was planning to take you.
However, Prosecutor Byun only had time today.
Did he go to see Byun Woo Hyun?
Yes, it seems there is a witness.
They're keeping the witness hidden away.
Lawyer Kang wanted to go talk to the prosecutor himself.
Let's get going now.
I'll get you safely to the station.
And I...
will always love you.
Let's go.
[Byun Woo Hyun]
What are you doing here?
I heard there is a witness.
I was wondering why there isn't one on the witness list.
You are great at gathering information.
I worked hard to make sure there were no leaks.
But, you still heard about it.
Who is it?
Who is this witness?
You'll see at the trial. What is your rush?
Even if you have a witness
you know it will be useless if you can't substantiate the testimony.
That's why I'm so busy right now.
So that the testimony from the witness is not useless.
I have to dress it up to look logical and objective.
The truth doesn't have to be dressed up.
You just need to prove it.
So...
are you proving the truth now?
You're not wrapping things up in order to hide the truth?
You could share the person's personal details.
Why are you being like this?
I never made an official announcement about the witness.
Of course, I could share the personal details.
What kind of...
surprise show are you planning?
I don't know.
Look forward to it.
It should be very fun.
Is that true?
They are saying the prosecutor has a witness to the murder.
What are you talking about?
That is all a complete lie.
A complete lie?
Are you saying that the prosecutor made up a fake witness?
He's a prosecutor who was embarrassed because of that arrest.
He was determined and he indicted me.
I could see him coming up with such a scenario.
So, what if he came up with this kind of scenario?
A prosecutor who has a vested interest.
In order to control the media, he did some shameless things.
I want to use this 70 minute investigative piece to dig into that.
The goal of the prosecution is to get a guilty verdict.
Even without that guilty verdict, it's not hard for them to destroy you.
As much as you embarrass them, they will pay you back many times over.
But, you don't care if we air that just as it is.
I told you, Director.
I no longer have any shame and I can't get any lower.
I have nothing to fear.
No!
I will never say yes to this plan.
Media depends on being fair and objective.
The moment we are biased to one side
our life as a media outlet is over.
No matter what you do, I will do this.
I said no.
I'm doing it.
What can't you do if you're about to lose your life?
Do whatever you want then!
A fake witness? My goodness.
What nonsense.
[JBC Anchor's Bloody Scandal. Who really killed Kevin Lee?]
What are you doing in my desk?
Nothing really.
I was just passing by.
Then just pass by.
Why are you peeking at documents on my desk?
That plan...
You're not really doing it, right?
Why not?
Even Director Jang said it's dangerous.
You didn't just peek, but you were eavesdropping, too?
Accusing the witness of being fake.
Does that make sense?
I didn't kill anyone, but I was a suspect.
I was arrested then indicted.
Do you think that makes sense?
Someone witnessed you killing him.
That's why I want to look into it. I want to see who's lying about it.
You're saying my husband made up a witness just to catch you?
I didn't kill him, but someone is saying they saw me do it.
Someone is lying.
I'm sure it isn't me.
So who is the fake one?
You must be crazy.
Wouldn't you go crazy?
What? You?
You!
Did you just call me, you?
You feel happier as your hips get wider?
Fine. It's all good.
Still, you were a reporter once.
You are still the current anchor for the morning news.
Even if you love your husband, you should know what the truth is.
All right?
Honey, it's me.
I think we should meet right now.
Yes.
What do you mean? The witness is made up?
- Who said that? - Go Hye Ran.
She's going around saying that.
She's even planning a news program to go up against you.
What do we do?
The witness isn't the only evidence.
The program? Tell her to try it.
She'll only be getting egg on her face.
You're confident, right?
Go Hye Ran is finished now.
That's all you need to know.
You should still be careful.
Go Hye Ran is a really scary person.
I'm busy.
Okay. Go back in, Honey.
So, then what?
Go Hye Ran is claiming that the witness is fake.
That is what she's planning to do.
What should I do?
Prosecutor Byun, you worry a lot more than I realized.
Pardon me?
You're in charge of a murder case, yet you worry over every little thing.
How can you do anything bigger?
No, that's not what I meant.
I've prepared the table for you.
You should know how to eat off it yourself, Prosecutor Byun.
I understand what you're saying.
I will take care of it myself.
Sorry for worrying you.
I want the video file shown tomorrow at the trial.
Right away, tomorrow?
Think of the first hearing as the last one.
Let's release it.
Tomorrow is finally here.
The judge will read the defendant's eyes.
The prosecutor will try to shake you up however he can.
No matter what he says...
don't get upset or agitated.
During this trial...
you will get hurt again.
It doesn't matter.
"No matter what anyone says, I didn't do it."
"Say whatever you please." Sit there with that thought.
I will do the rest.
You just need to trust me, Go Hye Ran.
Can I ask you one thing?
Anything.
Why are you doing this?
Because I'm Go Hye Ran's husband.
For better or for worse, in sickness and in health...
I said I would always be with you. I promised you that when we got married.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Even now...
and in the future too.
I will always be sorry.
It's okay.
Dong Hyun.
- Eun Joo. - Where are you right now?
I was worried about you.
Nothing's wrong with you, right?
Eun Joo, you have to be happy.
- Dong Hyun. - Jae Young...
He was a bad jerk.
He was like a good brother to me.
But, he shouldn't have done that to you.
Where are you?
Let's meet and talk.
I called to talk to you one last time.
You have to be happy.
- You have to. - Dong Hyun.
Dong Hyun!
[Kind Eun Joo]
[The Trial: Part 1]
You can come directly here, Manager Jung.
We'll decide once we see the situation.
Yes.
Go Hye Ran will never make it to court today.
[Blocked Number]
[Hye Ran]
[Tae Wook]
Please leave a message...
[Tae Wook: Seven missed calls]
Hye Ran, where are you?
I'm still home. Why?
You... stay home until I get there.
Why? What is it?
Just do what I say. Don't go anywhere.
Don't open the door for anyone, okay?
You're listening to me, right? Hello?
Hye Ran, Hye Ran.
Yes.
I'm listening.
I'm leaving now.
Call me right away if anything is wrong, okay?
Die, you punk!
What are you doing here, Detective?
You know Baek Dong Hyun?
We couldn't get in touch with him for a few days.
Yesterday, he called Seo Eun Joo saying it would be his last call.
- And? - I came just in case he came here.
He may come to hurt you.
So, I came to protect you.
You have an important trial today.
We can't have you getting hurt.
You worried for no reason.
As you can see, nothing has happened.
If you happen to see Baek Dong Hyun...
One moment.
Honey, it's me.
It's me... Hye Ran.
Myung Woo.
Myung Woo...
Myung Woo, why do you...
Lawyer Kang has been injured.
I think you should hurry to the hospital.
What?
Kang Tae Wook, please.
I'm his guardian.
- You said Kang Tae Wook? - Yes.
Yes, he's inside over there.
Thank you.
What's going on? Where is he?
What happened? Why isn't he here?
Hon... Honey.
Hye Ran.
Honey.
Are you okay?
Are you really okay?
Yes, I am.
What do I do?
Oh, Honey.
I'm okay.
I'm okay, Hye Ran.
It's done.
I'm finished now.
Ha Myung Woo.
I killed him.
No.
I don't know anything about it.
Do you think I will lose the trial?
I have no comment.
I'm going crazy.
I'm going crazy here.
What? Ha Myung Woo?
You want to know his release date?
Yes.
He went in 19 years ago for a murder at a jewelry store in Nagwon-dong.
Find out when he got out.
Shouldn't you be going to court now?
Today is Go Hye Ran's trial.
I'm on my way there now.
Indicted for the murder of pro golfer, Kevin Lee
Go Hye Ran's trial starts today.
Oh! It's Go Hye Ran's car.
Where?
There she is.
Move!
Go Hye Ran! Go Hye Ran!
Please give us a comment!
Go Hye Ran!
One comment, please!
Go Hye Ran, a comment please!
Go Hye Ran, Go Hye Ran!
[With just eyes, we will make a brighter future.]
Prosecutor Byun!
Please rise.
[Judges]
Case number 1018230.
We will now start the trial of defendant Go Hye Ran.
Prosecutor, please start.
According to the defendant's statement
she was alone with Kevin Lee before his death.
The brooch that the defendant was wearing that day was found in Kevin Lee's car.
According to the deceased's family
the defendant, Go Hye Ran, and Kevin Lee had been lovers for a long time.
Recently, Kevin Lee used this fact against the defendant.
We found circumstantial evidence that he threatened the defendant.
Therefore, I believe that the defendant wished to hide this fact.
So, she murdered Kevin Lee and made it look like a car accident.
That is my assertion.
Defendant, you have the right not to make any statements that incriminate you.
Anything you say can and will be used against you.
Defendant, do you have a response to this allegation?
I cannot acknowledge any of the claims the prosecutor has made.
I am not guilty of any of the criminal charges against me.
Prosecutor.
Is your witness present?
Yes, he is present.
Did you ask for me, Director?
Come in.
Prosecutor, you may begin questioning your witness.
Witness.
Please start by telling me your name and occupation.
My name is Oh Min Chul.
I am retired and I have a small piece of land where I grow some things.
On January 18, 2018 from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
where were you?
I was in Seoul headed towards Guri, near Maechang-dong.
I was parked at a highway construction site and resting for a bit.
What did you see?
I saw two people fighting.
Did you recognize anyone?
I happen to like golf a lot, so I recognized him right away.
So, the person you saw that night...
It was Kevin Lee.
Did you see who he was with?
Yes, I did.
I'm asking you a favor.
What is it?
Can you please ask the witness this?
The other person you saw...
Was it a woman?
No.
It was a man.
- A man? - A man?
Please tell me one more time.
That night...
the person who was with Kevin Lee.
Are you sure...
it was a man?
Yes, it was a man.
I am sure it was a man.

[Misty]
My husband is dead.
I was told someone killed my husband.
Tell us the truth about your relationship.
Did you think you could go to the Blue House if Kevin Lee were gone?
Thank you for getting me this far.
That's why it's harder.
From the top anchor in the nation, to a murderer, Go Hye Ran.
You're going to kick her out like this?
I will let you betray me.
"I will kill you no matter what."
"Try losing everything."
You testified on behalf of the prosecution.
Just see this through.
She needs to go to prison for at least 10 years.
No matter how good the lie, it can't beat out the truth.
In order to catch me, they took a risk they shouldn't have.
I don't know who it is.
I hope that this trial reveals who it is.
