This trial is being manipulated by a detective and prosecutor who abhor Woo One.
Your Honor!
This sacred court was being controlled by their personal greed.
Is it utterly impossible to beat him?
Chairman Kim Gang Heon.
How could Judge Song do that?
We can't end it here.
There's still more we can do.
Who are you?
Jang Chae Rim from Gangam Police's Violent Crimes Department.
You're Tee Rab's girlfriend, right?
He suddenly came looking for me last fall.
At first, he said he just wanted to be Tee Rab's friend.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
They started growing closer.
Slow down! Why are you drinking so fast?
One day, he suddenly gave Tee Rab 5 million won.
It's burning! What would you do without me?
Let me ask you a favor.
He asked him to do a job for him.
To keep track of every move of a guy named Kim Sang Hyeon.
- Cheers! - Cheers.
It doesn't make sense.
So, did you get permission?
I persuaded him.
And do you know what my dad said?
If I'll ride one anyway, he'll just buy it for me as a gift!
As expected of Chairman Kim!
Hey, when's the motorcycle arriving?
He'll probably have it delivered on the morning of my birthday.
I heard him bragging
to his friends that his dad in jail would buy him a motorcycle as a birthday gift.
Is your hyung coming on your birthday?
Don't even mention my hyung. He's one scary guy.
Last time,
he even killed a judge's wife.
- What? - Really?
Keep it to yourselves, okay?
My hyung rocks, right?
On Kim Sang Hyeon's birthday...
On the guy's birthday...
So, that day from 00:00 to 24:00,
he asked us to surveil him meticulously.
Wow!
- Then... - Shit, daebak.
on his birthday, the motorcycle really arrived.
I said, not today!
I lost him.
I lost him!
What the heck?
You see him?
He's coming out.
That morning,
Tee Rab told me to wait at home.
And Tee Rab followed that boy.
Tee Rab told me we could make big money now.
Let's go to Egypt together.
He said he'd take me to Egypt and marry me.
He said a stranger's weakness turns into big money.
Then, not even a month later,
he appeared in that state.
That man probably killed him.
Chairman Kim Gang Heon.
I'll get revenge for you.
I asked if he knew who killed him.
He said he didn't know yet.
It was a crime he had prepared for a long time.
As to his motive,
you and I can both guess why.
To avenge his mom.
He prepared for at least six months and committed the crime on the day he set.
No. There's no way.
I've obtained both witness and evidence.
He will be tried as a criminal, not as a car accident.
Can you give me a cigarette?
[Park Chang Hyeok]
What is it?
Detective Jang Chae Rim knows Ho Yeong is the perpetrator of the hit-and-run accident.
She's blackmailing me right now with that knowledge.
To convict Kim Sang Hyeok guilty.
My goal is to save Ho Yeong.
Detective Jang's blackmail is a lethal obstacle in my way.
Until I can find a solution,
if you could confine her or something...
[Your Honor: Episode 9]
To avenge his mom.
It was a crime he had prepared for a long time.
No. There's no way.
Stop using your phone during mealtime.
You can use your phone as you eat.
I'm sorry for how I've been.
Sang Hyeon is no longer with us.
But I held onto the child who is gone...
and made you and Eun suffer...
who are still living.
Life must go on...
for those who are still living.
What brings you here?
Do you remember a woman named Jo Eun Hye?
Jo Eun Hye?
Who's that?
[Volunteer Group]
How long can someone pretend to be kind?
I thought you had changed, Father.
These f***ers were talking shit about you.
Saying you're a hypocrite.
Father.
Inside us...
flows blood that commands us.
My blood constantly whispers to me.
As the representative of the group,
I will take responsibility for all the crimes committed by Woo One,
such as collusion, violence, and bribery
related to the bidding of the construction company.
"Take sovereignty over this world."
"Become a king of great power,
unapproachable to anyone."
Your blood commands you?
There's only one reason you're able to remain alive.
It's that blood.
You'll be found not guilty.
Once the trial ends,
someone will pick you up.
Don't do anything
and go straight to America.
Isn't one dinner okay?
Can't we all...
have dinner together for once?
[Witness Lee Cheong Gang changes testimony... would it change the trial's direction?]
[Woo One Group's eldest son, Kim Sang Hyeok's murder trial, takes a new turn]
I have something to ask you.
Who is it?
Who are you?
I heard you met with Detective Jang Chae Rim.
Yes.
What did you talk about with Jang Chae Rim?
If Ho Yeong turned himself in that day,
would we have fallen apart like this?
Would I have been unable to protect Ho Yeong on my own?
A well-respected judge.
I didn't want to give up that title. [Court]
A small crack led to a colossal collapse.
[Restricted Caller ID]
Who's this?
Why won't you find a way for me to live?
Is there a way?
Do you know the way?
Who do you think turned my quiet life into this mess?
If you had just done your job, things wouldn't be this bad.
Judge Song, the first thing I hear when I go to church is about the original sin.
The original sin was committed when Lee Sang Taek didn't properly discard the car.
Things wouldn't have gone this awry if he had just properly discarded that car.
That's on you, CEO Jo-
Damn it!
Judge Song, why can't you understand what I'm trying to say?
The original sin.
Don't you know what "original sin" means?
The original sin
is your son, Song Ho Yeong.
What do you mean-
Ho Yeong.
An intentional car accident.
A murder that was planned
for six months and systematically executed.
Is that something that can stay hidden?
Did you give up the Chief of Political Affairs at the Blue House?
That's the only way you and I can live, Judge Song.
You've got to do better.
Believe me, I want to,
but it's not something I can control.
You have to.
You must do it, Judge Song.
We have more things to worry about.
Last night, your son
met up with one of our kids.
He was looking for a gun.
I did some thinking after hearing that.
Why is your son looking for a gun?
What is he plotting this time?
Judge Song...
We always take light of matters we can cover up with our hands
and eventually, cover them up with our lives.
A gun...
Did he get one?
Who do you think I am?
I stopped it so he can't get one.
However...
a person's mind always changes.
You've got to do better, Judge Song. Okay?
The evidence material the Prosecution submitted
lost a lot of its effectiveness as evidence.
Lee Cheong Gang's reversal of testimony...
Isn't this complicating the trial right now?
Prosecutor Kang So Yeong and Detective Jang Chae Rim kept
the witness with them under the guise of
a witness protection program, which has become problematic now.
Regarding the witness protection program,
Assemblyman Jung Yi Hwa is pressing us, saying he'll publicize it.
Prosecutor Kang So Yeong also made a mistake, so...
Judge Song, why aren't you saying anything?
Judge Song.
Judge Song?
Yes?
Could you say something, please?
It's a complicated problem.
Let's give it some more thought and discuss it after.
Let's meet.
I'll do everything you people want, so let's meet right now.
This is Song Pan Ho.
There's a man wearing a blue jacket in the parking lot across the street.
He seems to be holding a grudge over a trial's results.
Please take care of him because he looks dangerous.
Excuse me.
What are you doing right now?
Come this way, please.
Ho Yeong.
An intentional car accident.
A murder that was planned
for six months and systematically executed.
Is that something that can stay hidden?
It's not true.
It can't be.
He's still too young.
It can't be.
It's not true.
What's the matter?
Why are you in such a hurry?
Don't you want to bring down Woo One Group?
Well, there's no better way to showcase the regime's power.
There's a way to bring down Chairman Kim Gang Heon and Woo One Group.
If I tell you the method, will you call me
into the Blue House before Kim Sang Hyeok's trial ends?
It's under the condition I enter the Blue House as soon as the trial ends.
If you'll promise me, I'll find Kim Sang Hyeok
guilty in the verdict.
This is the café where Detective Jang Chae Rim and Judge Song Pan Ho met.
There has been no signal after 9:28 p.m.
I should've gone with her then.
It can't be anything serious, right?
She went to meet no one other than
Judge Song Pan Ho, you know?
How many people can you utilize?
Three people? Okay.
Proceed unofficially for now until the trial ends.
Look up every CCTV and vehicle record nearby and bring them to me.
What brings you here?
How did you come in here?
I said there's something I must tell you regarding the trial.
You have something to tell the prosecutor right before the verdict hearing?
You're not that kind of a judge, sir.
Regarding Kim Sang Hyeok,
I plan to declare him guilty.
I don't know if you know, Prosecutor Kang,
but there's severe pressure from Woo One.
The witness was bought, and I'm also getting threatened right now.
At this rate, Kim Sang Hyeok...
will be found not guilty.
We can't let that happen, can we?
What are you going to do?
I'm going to find Kim Sang Hyeok guilty
and become the Chief of Political Affairs at the Blue House.
Is that possible?
That's why I need your help.
Hand over all information you investigated
regarding the evil deeds Chairman Kim Gang Heon and Woo One Group committed
after Lee Sang Taek's hit-and-run incident.
I'll hand your research over to the Blue House tonight.
This is the case record Detective Jang Chae Rim, and I investigated so far.
You met Detective Jang Chae Rim two days ago, right?
I did, and?
Detective Jang Chae Rim can't be reached.
Well?
What time did you last see her?
We met around 9:00 p.m. and separated around 9:30 p.m.
What did you talk about?
She blackmailed me regarding the trial.
Was it because she was scared Kim Sang Hyeok would be
found not guilty since Lee Cheong Gang changed his testimony?
She blackmailed me with some nonsense.
What kind?
That my son is the hit-and-run culprit.
And so?
What do you mean?
So, how did you part ways?
She spoke some complete nonsense.
So, I got mad at her and left.
Is that all?
Are you interrogating me right now?
Yes.
As a prosecutor.
That's rude.
The fact that Ho Yeong is the culprit
and the accident was caused on purpose...
We have evidence to back that up.
You'll have to manage this.
Judge Song Pan Ho?
Chief Secretary Kang Moon Seok sent me.
He told me to get some documents from you.
Why didn't Chief Secretary Kang come in person?
He had to join an urgent meeting.
How can I trust you?
I said I am.
He's in a meeting right now.
He probably won't answer his phone.
The call is not going through. You'll be connected to-
No.
I can't trust you.
Trust me.
It was very hard for me to come out in secret.
There's no time.
Forget it, then.
Lives are at stake here.
Please tell him to call me
as soon as he gets the documents.
Yes, I got it.
Give it to me.
Why are you here?
How is it going?
What?
Tomorrow's trial.
I'm going to find him guilty.
So...
don't do anything foolish.
[Secretary's Office]
I've reviewed the documents you sent me.
They're good...
but not good enough.
What else do you need?
We've done investigations on our end, too.
Chairman Kim Gang Heon's wife had done something, didn't she?
Arson and instigated murder...
If we can add those on top,
I think it'll be a good cause to oppress Woo One Group.
It'll also look better when you come and take charge in person.
After finding the oldest son of Woo One guilty,
you left the legal field, and
now use political power to punish evil.
Doesn't it look great?
Isn't what you have enough?
Chairman Kim Gang Heon has committed countless evil deeds so far.
I know. I know, but...
You need to know
he is just as powerful as well.
I'll send the documents you mentioned before sunrise.
I must hear a firm answer before Kim Sang Hyeok's verdict hearing tomorrow.
As soon as it's confirmed that I can enter the Blue House,
I plan to find Kim Sang Hyeok guilty.
Hello?
Let's meet.
When?
If possible, before sunrise.
Looks like you're in a hurry.
Do you need something?
Number one.
Evidence of Kim Gang Heon's wife's arson and instigated murder.
Number two.
I need to go meet you, CEO Jo.
But there's a Woo One employee spying on me right out the door.
Yes, I understand.
You can't park here.
I already told them.
I didn't hear anything, though.
What are you agonizing over?
It's all about to end now.
You didn't give a gun to Ho Yeong, right?
Of course not!
I told them to report to me if he came to our neighborhood.
So, don't worry.
Thank you.
I don't need you thanking me only in words anymore.
Chairman Kim Gang Heon isn't the only one I have intel on.
Yours is even more critical.
I'll keep that in mind.
How?
H-How did you know?
Didn't the Blue House's Chief Secretary show you some pictures?
There's another Chief of Political Affairs candidate.
They sent me these pictures.
We're the ones who sent him those pictures.
Moving the world means
you know everything that's going on, Judge Song.
This must've been your last-ditch effort, right?
Did you really believe you can bring me down with just this?
What on earth must I do
to end this?
That's what I want to ask.
Do you think everything came down to this because of me?
My son was going to turn himself in in the first place.
We were in front of the police station
when I realized the dead boy was your son and
I decided to hide him.
Ho Yeong was going to turn himself in.
I hid him away.
I'm the one who manipulated and intended to conceal the case.
It's all my fault.
I-I don't mind dying.
As long as you promise you'll spare my son,
I'll throw everything away.
I'm fine with that.
Just promise me you'll spare my son.
There's nothing I can do.
Besides trusting you,
there's nothing I can do anymore.
You also have children, so you understand how I feel, right?
Please understand me.
Please understand.
I-I'm sorry.
You brought it upon yourself.
I was in a hurry to overstep.
I didn't kill a human being,
but a principle!
I killed the principle,
but I didn't overstep,
I stopped on this side.
I was only capable of killing.
And it seems I wasn't even capable of that.
No,
life is only given to me once
and I shall never have it again.
I don't want to wait for 'the happiness of all.'
I want to live myself,
[Verdict] or else...
better not live at all.
He walked on without resting.
He had a terrible longing for some distraction,
but he did not know
what to do, what to attempt.
New overwhelming sensation was gaining
more and more mastery over him every moment.
What? What?
- What the f***? - You scared?
Are you afraid?
Let go!
Black and grimy and spiders in every corner,
and that's all eternity is?
Prosecutor, file charges, please.
Your Honor,
we're discussing a heinous crime in this court today.
Four innocent lives were sacrificed due to a fatal shooting
and their families and friends are in deep sorrow.
I request all of you today
for a stern punishment of the law upon the defendant, Kim Sang Hyeok.
Surmising all evidence and testimony regarding this case,
the defendant, Kim Sang Hyeok, is clearly guilty!
You are crying, sister,
but can you hold out your hand to me?
"Crime? What crime?"
he cried in sudden fury.
I charge the defendant, Kim Sang Hyeok,
the maximum punishment allowed by law.
This will deliver a strong message that
our society doesn't tolerate crimes but protects the law and justice.
And I hope it's a small consolation for the victims and their families.
- Was that a crime? - Please bring a just judgment
- I am not thinking of it and - on the defendant. That's all I request.
I am not thinking of expiating it,
and why are you all rubbing it in on all sides? 'A crime! a crime!'
Let go!
Kim Gang Heon... Where's Kim Gang Heon?
Where is he?
Kim Gang Heon!
Now that I have decided to face this superfluous disgrace.
It's simply because I am contemptible and have nothing in me.
Brother, brother, what are you saying?
Why, you have shed blood?
Cried Dounia in despair.
Which all men shed.
He put in almost frantically.
The Prosecution submitted a testimony Kim Sang Hyeok was at the scene
and a few pieces of physical evidence.
However, they are utterly inadequate in proving that Kim Sang Hyeok is the culprit.
Which flows and has always
flowed in streams.
Which is spilt like champagne.
Look into it more carefully and understand it!
I too wanted to do good to men and would have done hundreds,
thousands of good deeds to make up for that one piece of stupidity,
not stupidity even, simply clumsiness.
For the idea was by no means so stupid.
The Prosecution is ignoring this important fact and
consistently trying to frame the defendant as the culprit.
Number four.
The intent the Prosecution suggested doesn't align with the defendant at all.
The defendant has regularly been living a diligent and peaceful life
along with his father, Chairman Kim Gang Heon of Woo One Group.
It's difficult to understand rationally
the defendant would commit such an extreme crime.
Please make a judicious and fair decision.
The defendant, Kim Sang Hyeok, is not guilty.
But I...
I couldn't carry out even the first step,
because I am contemptible,
that's what's the matter!
And yet I won't look at it as you do.
But now I'm trapped.
Are there any other processes you want to pursue or documents you want to submit?
[Police Line / Do Not Cross!]
Which flows and has always
flowed in streams.
Which is spilt like champagne.
I'll announce the verdict.
Regarding the shooting incident at the third pier of Daeyeon Port,
the witness' testimony largely opposes
objective evidence or other victim's witnesses.
The evidence is also lacking,
so it's difficult to say the allegations were proven.
As such, for case number 2024 F.C.* 4630... (First trial, Criminal)
the prosecutor's submitted evidence are
inadequate in proving the defendant's allegations as fact.
Therefore, the defendant, Kim Sang Hyeok,
is hereby found not guilty.
Judge Song Pan Ho!
Detective Jang Chae Rim...
is dead.
Are you aware?
[Freedom, Equality, Justice]
There he comes!
I'd like to deeply thank the fair trial
and the judge's decision that created the fair trial...
What's after?
and the team of attorneys who...
protected my innocence to the end.
I know you killed Kim Sang Hyeon intentionally.
I'm not trying to do anything to you.
Oppa!
What's this?
My goodness!
Don't you want revenge?
Oppa, can I bring my boyfriend home this evening?
Do you know
how many people died because of what you did?
You must end this yourself.
[Kim Eun]
Oppa, come to my house this evening
and eat dinner with my dad, mom, and oldest oppa.
We agreed to eat dinner before my oldest oppa goes to the U.S.
You should come, too, Oppa. Please?
Please come with me!
[Dad]
This is nuts!
Why...
and where all of this started...
Does Kim Gang Heon know?
He doesn't, does he?
I'm sure he doesn't know...
that it wasn't an accident
but a planned murder.
And how far out could that brat have planned?
No one would know.
I'm sure he'll go to the end!
Even to the place he mustn't go!
He'll end up going there.
Put her in.
[Your Honor]
♫ I'm breaking down to my voice ♫
♫ Thank God it feels like home ♫
♫ A wicked is born in the dark ♫
♫ I never get it like that, mate ♫
♫ Why not me? You always get it all ♫
♫ It's not fair anymore ♫
He started planning it six months before the accident.
He must've approached my daughter, Eun, intentionally as well.
Does he want to avenge his dead mom?
How dare he... Against me?
I'll take him away.
Please don't do anything.
Didn't we meet somewhere before?
Please... Not my son.
H-Ho Yeong...
I'll see this to the end.
Ho Yeong! Let me go! Ho Yeong!
No, I'm already at the end.
