Around 11:00 last night, at a chicken restaurant in Myeongwoldong, Seongmoo City,
a fire broke out from an unknown cause.
The fire, after partially burning the restaurant, causing property damage,
which the fire department estimated at 5.4 million won,
was extinguished in 15 minutes.
In the accident, the 52 year old owner, Ms. Eo, died and
after the fire was extinguished, a 43 year old employee, Mr. Min,
who sustained injuries to his arms and legs, was treated after admission to a hospital.
Police and fire officials will subpoena the employee,
after his treatment, for investigation of the precise cause of the fire.
Episode 8 For whom am I living?
I want to be interrogated in the jurisdiction of my residence instead of here.
May I request a transfer of venue?
A few weeks later
The funeral is (being held) very late.
It's been some time since the occurrence.
Yes. The time delay was due to the autopsy.
Has the suspect been charged with arson?
Yes.
Did you know that the case has been assigned to our court?
Exactly, why, of all places, does it have to be us?
The incident was in Seongmoo City.
It seems this is the jurisdiction of the defendant's residence and
he requested a transfer.
This is so frustrating...
These are the phone numbers of friends of Lawyer Jang's mother.
Please call them for me.
I will pick up some funeral supplies and come back.
Yes.
You're here.
I don't know what to say to comfort you.
Thank you for coming.
Also, Judge, about the case...
Don't worry.
I've already arranged it.
Did Min Gook Joon apply for a court-appointed attorney?
Yes.
For Min Joon Gook's case, don't
appoint Attorney Cha or me as his lawyer.
We can't be a lawyer for the person who killed
Attorney Jang's mother.
Okay, I'll try.
But, the words you just said
doesn't seem like you.
What?
The trial hasn't even started yet.
Lawyer Jang's mother passing away is unfortunate.
But who the criminal is
hasn't been determined yet.
I really didn't kill her.
Why would I kill the boss?
I treated her with 100% of my respect.
Saying that I killed her and bringing me all the way to court, is non-sense.
The boss must have been a good person.
It's hard to even explain it with just words.
Even though she knew I was an ex-con,
she hired me.
And on my birthday,
she gave me seaweed soup, glass noodles,
and other dishes.
I see.
So, even when there was a fire in the restaurant,
you ran in there to save her.
Yes.
I thought that even if I were to die, I should save the boss.
But looking at your record,
you have a history with her daughter (witness).
And, because of that, you may suspect that I killed her. But,
that is also a misunderstanding.
Why?
Ten years ago, I killed someone in a car accident.
It was an accident, but
that kid saw me as a criminal.
She told the court that and
without explanation, I became a murderer.
Then, in that incident, you didn't deliberately kill the person,
but the accident killed the person.
So, the court ruled incorrectly.
That's right.
I was also the victim of the accident. A judicial victim.
There is something you don't know.
The car accident ten years ago,
the witness wasn't just Jang Hye Seong.
There was one more witness.
What?
That other witness was me.
What are you doing?! Run!!
In my memory, that accident
wasn't just an ordinary car accident.
A person's brain is very interesting.
Even though you tell the truth ten times, when you lie once,
I must doubt
whether the truth was said before or if this is the real truth.
I'll see you in court, Min Joon Gook.
Let's think of a plan. Think.
What do I have to do?
Hey, you bastard!!!
Why did you do it?! WHY?!!
Why did you kill an innocent person?! Why?!
I didn't do it. I didn't kill her!!
It's the truth!!!
You call yourself human?!
How can a human do that?! How?!
Save me. Save me, please.
Here, eat.
You haven't eaten anything all day.
I'm not hungry.
In my spare time, I ate a little.
Since I don't have any relatives, I have no one to lean on.
Should I buy a person?
Should I call my mom's friends for her burial?
I'll figure all this out.
First, let's eat together.
I didn't eat yet either, so we can eat together.
Thank you.
You have many cases tomorrow, right?
Go back quickly after eating.
I don't want to. I'm Lawyer Jang's boyfriend now.
If you're alone, you'll obviously cry. So, I can't just leave.
So, let me be alone.
So I can cry.
Lawyer Jang.
You can do that for me, right?
You're my boyfriend, after all.
Is it a sickness?
If not, am I really strong?
You're here.
Yeah.
Where did you go? It seems you weren't around.
I went to . . .
meet Min Joon Gook.
What did he say?
That he didn't kill her.
That it was unfair.
What about what you saw?
Did he really not kill her?
No. [i.e., It's not correct that he did not kill her.]
How was my mom when she was dying...
Did you find out?
Yeah.
Min Joon Gook,
at the end,
let her speak with you on the phone.
A phone call with me?
What call...
You're not hiding anything from me, right, Mom?
What are you talking about?
You're not keeping any secrets from me, right? Such as pretending you're not hurt or
having a hard time because you don't want me to worry, right?
I do have one.
What is it?
Saying that your job is your soulmate...
and worrying that you're never going to get married.
What the heck? I'm being serious.
Anything else?
Nothing else.
If there is, you have to tell me!
Okay?
I'm hanging up.
WAIT A MINUTE, Hye Seong!!
Hye Seong, do you know?
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If you live that way...
Everyone in this world will become blind.
What are you saying?
All those people that are rude to you,
they are doing it because they are jealous.
Because you are so fortunate, they're jealous.
So, don't hate them...
Don't be mean to them,
and feel sorry for them.
You're taking Do Yeon's side again, right?
Mom.
Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom, what do I do?
What should I do? I didn't know?!!
Just promise me.
Mom...
You won't hate someone
to the point that it'll ruin your life.
Once a person is born into this world,
life is not long enough to love each other, right?
Alright, I'll do my best.
Okay.
Alright.
That's my girl...
Mom, I didn't know!
I didn't know that would be the last!!
My mom is so pitiful. What do I do?
What do I do? Mom...
You must... like the crab shell part...
Well.. no... Rather than the crab shell, I prefer the legs. (Actually many Koreans like the shell part.)
Ah, you guys don't know how to eat crabs then.
This is the best part of the seasoned raw crab.
Judge Kim Gong Sook!
Ah... what brought you here, Lawyer Cha?
I can NEVER take Min Joon Gook's case.
I told you before that I can never be his lawyer!
I know, I know.
But the problem here is that I had assigned other lawyers,
but every one of them resigned.
How can we conduct a trial in the absence of a defense attorney?
Lawyer Jang Hye Seong is working with me in the same office.
How can I... represent the man who killed her mother...
We don't know yet if he killed her or not!
We will know that only after the trial.
Judge Kim!
I fully understand you're in a difficult position.
However, this is not a matter which you have the liberty of choice.
For this kind of situation, public defenders are charged with exclusive responsibility.
And you're that exclusive public defender, Lawyer Cha.
Then, please change to Lawyer Shin.
I will personally request it of Lawyer Shin.
That would be difficult too.
Why?
Min Jook Gook requested us to assign you as his lawyer.
Judge Kim, you know,
how cruel can he be!
Is he perhaps an anti-fan of Lawyer Cha?
They say that other lawyers all resigned.
Then, what should we do about the atmosphere in our office?
Lawyer Cha is the morale maker of our office.
But if he becomes dark (feel gloomy), our entire office will become dark too!
Don't worry, it will never become dark because of your fussing.
Then, how about Lawyer Jang?
If she finds out that Lawyer Cha took on the Min Joon Gook case, she will go completely crazy!
HEY! SIT DOWN!
I will go crazy first because of you!
Uh... Lawyer Jjang...
Lawyer... Jjang?
Oh dear...
Who...
took whose case...?
The people who come to public defenders like us
are ones who steal and murder.
So, in many cases, defending them is meaningless and fruitless.
But even so, we can't avoid taking their cases, even though they may be brutal criminals.
So, in that situation, how would you defend the case?
Lawyer Jang...
I heard the news.
You had to take the Min Joon Gook case.
That was... I had no choice...
That's good.
It's a relief.
Pardon?
I actually worried if Lawyer Shin would take the case.
If he took it, he definitely won't have cared about his colleague,
and would have taken Min Joon Gook's side, as a lawyer or whatever, and not believed my words, right?
But you're different, Lawyer Cha.
You're solely on my side,
isn't that right?
You believe what I said, right?
Yes.
I believe you.
Thank you.
You're solely on my side,
isn't that right?
Something came up and you won't be able to meet with Min Joon Gook today.
Something came up? What was that...?
Just earlier, he attempted suicide.
What?
I think the problem was my desire itself; that this ex-convict wanted to be forgiven.
As soon as I was released,
I wanted to go find Lawyer Jang Hye Seong and Park Soo Ha and beg their forgiveness.
I wanted to tell them that I would live earnestly,
so they don't have to be afraid of a guy like me any longer.
However, my existence itself was a threat and a fear to them.
I really wanted to show my sincere spirit in any way possible.
If a direct way didn't work, I wanted to do it even indirectly.
That's why I went to the restaurant of my boss, who is Lawyer Jang's mother.
If I showed my sincere spirit to her, I thought it may be able to reach her daughter.
Luckily, Boss acknowledged my intention as such and treated me as a human being, not a beast.
Maybe, in some way, I really did kill her.
Although I knew she often collapsed due to an irregular heartbeat, I didn't stay by her side.
And I should've gone in sooner to save her, but I was too late.
Like this... again... I've become a murderer.
If I can rid the title of 'murderer' away from me, I won't be sad if I lost my life right now.
My deceased boss would understand my heart.
The one and only person who was nice to me.
Following her... I will leave (this world) too.
Are you Lawyer Cha Gwan Woo?
Yes.
How's your body?
Can you talk?
Yes, I can.
I don't believe this suicide note.
It looks like just a show.
If you were really trying to die, you should have done it at night, not in the daytime.
There's that way too.
I think very fondly of Lawyer Jang.
So, I have no interest in being your lawyer.
It doesn't matter.
Why is it me?! Why?!
Because if it's another lawyer, no one will believe me.
You, not being on my side . . . If you reveal the truth,
then, Lawyer Jang will really believe me.
How was the relationship between Min Joon Gook and the boss?
Play it one more time, please.
Don't ever think about
wanting revenge on Min Joon Gook, okay?
What are you doing? Answer me right now.
What if he tries to kill you?
Don't do it, I'll take care of my own body.
You said the court session is 10 o' clock today, right?
Don't worry, Mom.
Lawyer Cha will be on our side to the end.
I believe in Lawyer Cha.
We're going to be late. Let's go.
Okay.
What is it?
Min Joon Gook is in there, isn't he?
It's like 10 years ago, right?
After being recently released from prison,
to take revenge on Jang Hye Seong who testified against him at a trial for murder ten years ago,
The Defendant concealed his identity and approached witness Jang Hye Seong's mother, Eo Choon Shim.
The Defendant took advantage of the victim's lack of awareness of any danger.
With a strike on the victim's head by a blunt weapon, the Defendant knocked the victim out,
started a fire and camouflaged it as an accident.
Additionally, he pretended to save her with a piggyback ride when she was already dead.
All this to fake his innocence and conceal his crimes.
Therefore, Defendant Min Joon Gook is charged, under
Penal Code Article 250 pursuant to Section 64,
with Arson and Homicide by Arson. [Setting fire to a building despite knowing someone is in the building]
Lawyer, do you admit the facts of the crimes as charged?
Lawyer!
No way.
What's wrong?
Lawyer! Do you admit the facts of the crimes as charged?
No. I deny all charges.
The Defendant is innocent.
Are you crazy?! Does it make sense that he's innocent?!
Lawyer Jang, don't overreact and listen to me.
How can you think he is innocent?!
He's someone who went to my mom's for revenge!
He said he wanted to apologize.
Since he thought you weren't going to accept his apology, he went to your mom.
Apology? A person who went to apologize kills a person?!
It was an accident.
Accident?! Does that even make sense?!
There is no evidence that it was a murder.
The forensics results that it was not arson came out.
It was just fire caused by oil fumes.
The CCTV didn't record anything either.
The CCTV couldn't record anything because it was broken!
Did you see what had been recorded prior to the CCTV being broken?!
It was Min Joon Gook who went to break it!
How do you explain this?!
We're not sure if he went to break it or not.
Calm down and think about this carefully.
This is just a bad accident,
involving you and Min Joon Gook.
How will you explain the fracture on my mom's head?
I heard she had arrhythmia. [ irregular heartbeat]
She got dizzy, fell and hit her head.
It's because Min Joon Gook hit her head.
Min Joon Gook used a wrench and hit her head.
And he turned up the gas for the fryer.
And around the time when she probably died, he went in and put on a show pretending to save her.
And you, right now, are falling for his show.
Okay, it could've happened like what you just said.
But, like I said, perhaps, she fell down and couldn't turn off the gas.
And then because of the fire, she might have died from suffocation. This is possible too, right?
Please don't be like this Lawyer Cha.
If you have any doubt that he is guilty, you have to decide for the Defendant.
That's the law.
You shouldn't do this to me.
Lawyer Jang, think this over again.
You may even be misunderstanding Min Joon Gook.
Stop it.
You have to be on my side.
That misunderstanding can ruin a person's life.
Stop it, please.
Yes, sir.
The records of the trial from 10 years ago, the Park Joo Hyuk murder case. . .
May I see them?
I know it might not be there. But, just in case.
Yes.
If you find it, please send it over to me.
Yes.
I'll return it after reviewing it.
Thank you.
Hello?
Ah, Lawyer Jang went out to a trial today.
Yes, I understand.
Lawyer Jang isn't returning to the office today?
When the trial ends, she said she's leaving from there.
Lawyer Cha.
Are you okay?
Lawyer Shin, I feel like . . .
I've become a knight who is protecting a very bad king.
Are you cleaning?
Yeah.
What are you going to do with those dishes?
I'm going to clean them.
I'll help you.
Soo Ha, go back to your own house now.
Why?
What do you mean 'Why'? Min Joon Gook is captured and
there is no reason for you to stay here now.
I don't want to. I'm not going.
I don't want to see anyone right now.
Not even you or Lawyer Cha.
I even want to fight with this rag right now.
I want to be alone, so get out while I'm being nice.
I don't want to.
Are you a kid? Do you not understand?
You don't know what I might say to you.
That's right, I'm a kid. I'm a kid that don't understand what you are saying. So just say it.
Whatever you want.
I'm hating you over and over for a million times right now.
In being a witness for the case 10 years ago, this happened. It's all because of you.
Why? Should I say something harsher?
Say it. I'll listen to it all.
Say it.
You can even curse. I'll listen to it all.
Soo Ha.
What?
That's cooking oil.
Oh.
Did you read the Judge's mind?
Yeah.
Which side is he on? Guilty or innocent?
51% to 49%.
Which side is the 51%?
Innocent.
I can do it.
I can't do it.
I can do it.
I can't do it.
I can do it.
My mom finds it uncomfortable that I'm meeting you.
If you have something to say, say it here.
Min Joon Gook's case, what do you think will happen?
To be honest, the situation doesn't look good.
There's no direct evidence, only circumstantial evidence.
Lawyer Cha is also continually focusing on that.
You know who Min Joon Gook is, right?
I know.
If it wasn't me, but you, who stood as witness,
it won't be me going through this, but you.
I want to catch him as much as you. But the evidence...
Manipulate it.
Are you crazy?
Jang Hye Seong.
Please,
help me, Do Yeon.
I didn't know a day like this was going to come.
I didn't know a day would come where I would go on my knees to beg you.
I have nothing left of my pride.
Even if I have to sell everything, I need to catch that guy.
I'll do anything you ask me to do.
Everything I said in the past 10 years . . .
I'll apologize if you want me to.
I am sorry for everything.
So, please help me capture him. You're a prosecutor.
Threatening or investigating, use any method you can think of.
That man who killed my mom, never let him go free.
Is that a sincere apology?
Father.
Your apology, is it sincere?
Mom, I'm sorry.
Yes. Back then, I was wrong.
So, please help me.
If I had been the judge,
I would've pronounced him innocent.
Also, if I had been the prosecutor,
I would've made more evidence.
Make evidence?
Making physical evidence which didn't exist before is hard.
But, . . .
making up words which didn't exist before is easy.
I've met with the witnesses and other people who were close to her.
The house owner, police,
even the pastor.
But, they only talked about the good deeds that Min Joon Gook has done.
Then we have to find someone who has some needs.
A person who will gain something
if he or she testifies.
A person who will gain something...?
When Min Joon Gook was in prison . . .
Have you tried looking for his cellmate?
No, we've not gotten that far yet.
How do you, Lawyer Shin, know Min Joon Gook?
He was a cellmate of someone I know.
I think we can find someone.
The person who used the same cell as Min Joon Gook.
If it's a prisoner,
he might be so desperate to get paroled.
I'll put some word into the people at the prison.
Make a deal with that.
You're not saying to make him commit perjury, right?
If it means that we can catch the criminal, we must.
But, perjury is...
You tried it 10 years ago.
She doesn't know.
She didn't even see what happened!
How could she have seen me do it when I never did so?!
I saw it too.
I saw her shoot the fireworks at me.
If he is truly a criminal and if we can catch him,
I think that every effort must be made, in order to catch him.
So...
Do you..
want to try it together as well?
Yes.
You're washing blankets today?
How come I had to go to Seo Do Yeon in a situation like this?
How can my opponent in this situation be Lawyer Cha?
Does this make sense?
You went to find Seo Do Yeon?
Yeah, I went and begged.
To help me catch Min Joon Gook.
I got down on my knees and begged her.
It's not only that.
I even apologized about everything
that happened from 10 years ago regarding the fireworks incident.
Wash your feet first.
The clothes will get even dirtier if you just step on them.
Joon Gook...
Killed someone?!
Yes.
He's being accused of killing Lawyer Jang Hye Seong's mother.
You shared the same prison cell as Min Joon Gook, didn't you?
During the time you spent with him,
has he ever talked about Lawyer Jang?
There was.
There was, but,
he only said he had a debt to repay.
Not anything else.
There's no way he would've done that.
Joon Gook is a nice man.
There must be a misunderstanding, Prosecutor.
Team Leader,
Yes?
Could you leave us alone for a moment?
Ah, yes.
When you were incarcerated 25 years ago,
you lost your daughter, right?
What?
Even if it's only one day, you would want to go out
early and find her, right?
Can I get out?
It depends on what
answer you give me.
So, you're going out
as a witness on the Min Joon Gook case? "Tiffany."
Yes, at the next court session, I'm
going out as a witness.
"Goo Ha Ra!"
Why are you going out as a witness for the prosecution's side?
Didn't you say that Min Joon Gook was a good person?
"Sandara Park!"
Yes, but when I thought further,
I don't think he was.
Something seemed off.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Ah, it's nothing. It's your turn.
I said "Sandara Park."
"IU."
If today's case goes well,
I will be able to catch him.
I sided with you because you cried.
You cried just
like your father.
I cried this time too, right?
Tell me that.
What are you doing here, Lawyer Shin?
You don't have any trials today.
Well that's . . . We came for
you as a support.
Today's the last session.
I came because
I wanted to ask you something
What is it?
At today's trial,
what did you request from Hwang Dal Joo?
Request?
I never requested anything from him.
In order to catch Min Joon Gook,
you requested him to do something that you weren't supposed to, right?
I said I didn't.
Why are you two doing this again?
The trial is about to start.
Lawyer Jang, go in first.
If I did, so what?
If I can catch the criminal,
what wouldn't I ask for?
Lawyer Jang.
Are you saying you won't follow the principles?
If I follow the rules, I'll lose everything.
Don't you know that if you break the rules, a larger problem comes your way?
Yes! I don't.
Have you ever been a victim?
The victims in this country
can't do anything.
Me?
I couldn't even ask Min Joon Gook why he killed my mom.
Because the victim can't meet the defendant.
The Judge listens to Min Joon Gook's words more than mine.
The victim feels so wronged that she can't even breathe. But,
there's nothing that she can do about it.
Presumption of innocence.
Rational principles?
All of that is bull****.
After becoming a victim,
all of the rules are just bull**** and,
the lawyer is an ***hole.
I am also that kind of an ***hole lawyer.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. For this trial,
if Min Joon Gook is ruled innocent,
do you think Lawyer Jang will continue being a lawyer?
Witness, please take the oath now.
I, according to the dictates of my conscience, swear to tell...
Witness, please say it louder.
I, according to the dictates of my conscience, swear to tell the whole truth, neither hiding nor making up any facts.
What is the Judge thinking about right now?
Is it innocent?
If I lie, I will be penalized for perjury. I, the witness...
Then is it guilty?
50% to 50%.
Then that's okay because the final testimony is on our side.
We will definitely get him found guilty.
Prosecutor, present your statement first.
The witness was housed in the same cell as the defendant, correct?
Yes.
Have you ever heard anything
about Lawyer Jang from the Defendant?
He said he owed her and I saw him gathering information about her.
Seeing that, what did you think about the Defendant?
Grudge.
Why did you think that?
He said he wanted to kill her.
That she made a mistake and he'll kill her.
When did I?!
Your Honor.
As you heard, the Defendant planned for revenge
towards the victim's daughter for over 10 years.
All the other witnesses spoke about him being a nice man.
However, that was a disguise just for revenge.
It was planned with so much detail and care,
that there was no one who saw the true nature of the Defendant.
It was because the Defendant was always under the guise of an angel.
And once he was revealed from behind his mask, he killed her.
Just like Park Joo Hyuk from 10 years ago, and now even the victim Eo Choon Shim.
If he is found innocent, he might kill another
person who knows his true nature.
Until now we haven't
seen the true nature of the Defendant and have turned a blind eye.
As a result, many innocent people have died.
Now, the law must see things properly,
It must protect the next victim, Jang Hye Seong.
Is he definitely guilty?
No, it's the opposite.
The witness is going to end up trapping the prosecutor.
Lawyer, please state your position.
You spent a long time in the same cell with the Defendant, right?
Yes.
Then you must know the Defendant very well.
If you had to describe the Defendant's characteristics, would you say he's smart and meticulous, or,
would you say he is stupid and rash?
He was intelligent.
It matches your story, Prosecutor.
But isn't it a bit weird?
Why would a person who's so smart reveal his plans to you?
Isn't it quite stupid and rash?
No- I mean-
Now that I think about it, he isn't that smart.
Ah.
Then he isn't smart? That's even more weird.
If it's just like what the prosecutor said, then this is a case of a well-planned murder.
A case which a dumb person can't accomplish.
Then, is the Defendant a
smart person or a dumb person?
Lawyer Cha trapped the Prosecutor.
Even if you don't answer, it doesn't matter.
Because, right now, I'll demonstrate that the Defendant can't be the criminal, regardless of how you describe him.
Witness.
Has the Defendant ever told you his plans?
Huh?
I can't remember well.
Witness, you have just sworn not to lie about this case.
I will ask you once more.
Did Min Joon Gook really say that he was going to kill Jang Hye Seong?
I actually... Think.. He didn't.
He didn't say that.
That's all.
Do you have anything else to say?
Witness, what you're saying right now is different from what you previously said.
Tell the truth.
Have you ever heard the Defendant say or not say he wanted to kill Jang Hye Sung?!
Witness! Answer me!
Prosecutor, that's enough.
There's nothing else to do, but to acquit him.
Kid. It seems these idiots with smarty brains here are all on my side.
If I am found not guilty here and get out...
Next, it's you and that girl's turn.
Lawyer Jang, are you alright?
What's going to happen to Min Joon Gook?
If the judges pronounce him not guilty, then he will be free from the day they announce the verdict.
But don't stress yourself out.
The prosecutor can appeal and find him guilty the second time. Then-
When's the verdict hearing?
Next month, on the third.
Next month, on the third...
Hey! Hye Seong!
Can't you just come immediately when I call you?
How come I can hear stuff, but I can't see anything on the screen?
Is this broken?
Oh my gosh...
How did you fix a computer with just a touch of your finger?
Are you Bill Gates or something?
Instead of learning about the law, you should go to a school that teaches technology and computers!
You're going to someone's wedding...
Don't you think basic make up is necessary?
It's not like I'm getting married.
What do you think?
Oh my gosh... Did you do this?
What are you, Picasso?
Maybe we should change your major to art! Do you think it's too late to change?
What?!
This is so pretty!
Aren't you going to eat? You didn't eat anything today.
Are you sleeping?
- I'll leave.. I'm really worried. - I'm in front of your house. I'll wait until you come see me.
You're here.
How is she? Is she managing?
She's holding it together quite well.
But I don't think it'll be easy to meet up with her anytime soon.
I don't know what to do.
I can't give up on Lawyer Jang like this.
Lawyer Jang likes you a lot.
What?
She's having a hard time because she likes you a lot.
So, give her time and wait and protect her.
You.
Didn't you hate me?
I'm going inside.
You...
also hate that I sided with Min Joon Gook, right?
No, you did well.
What?
I'm actually thankful.
Thank you.
For giving me the chance.
Go Seong Bin?
Here.
Kim Choong Gi?
Here.
Lee Jeong Hoon?
Here.
Park Soo Ha?
Here.
Teacher!
Go Seong Bin pretended to be Soo Ha.
What?! Then, Park Soo Ha's not here?
Yes, he's absent.
That jackass.
Soo Ha, that kid... His attendance record is filled with absences!
He's taking school lightly just because he's smart.
Just like 10 years ago...
I was really scared.
It's because of what you said that I was able to stand up.
You always said that I was right.
And at that time, I believed you were right.
But I realized that I was wrong.
Life wasn't like a fairytale.
I should have ran away, just like Do Yeon.
I'm sorry, Mom.
How did you find out that I was here?
I, kind of, read where you were going today before you left home.
Aren't you going to the office?
If you're not, then let's go somewhere together.
To where?
The place that we were going to go, but never had the chance.
You're not even a kid. Why did you suddenly want to come to an aquarium in the middle of the day?
Finally, after four attempts to come here, I'm here.
Why four tries?
The first time, I was going to come with my dad, but he passed away, so I didn't get to go.
And then, I was supposed to come on a field trip when I was in middle school. But I was sick, so I couldn't come.
And the third time, we were coming after the grandpa's trial, but we didn't get to come.
Hey, I was going to come.
It's you who decided not to come. You didn't even answer the phone.
Did I?
But why did you want to come here?
You know why. You know that my world is noisier than other people's.
I thought that it'd be nice and quiet here.
You're right. It's nice and calm here.
Like nothing bad has ever happened in life.
I packed up all my stuff from your place before I came here.
What?
Don't worry. Min Joon Gook isn't going to bother you ever again.
Trust me.
How would you know that?
I saw during the trial.
So you can believe in what I say.
Is that why you proposed to come here?
For like.. a goodbye thing?
And, I have some things to tell you before I leave.
What's with this atmosphere?
Are you never going to see me again or something?
I'm in my senior year. I have to study.
Okay then.
So, what is it that you have to tell me?
About your mother...
She was really proud of you up until the moment she died.
What?
I read Min Joon Gook during the trial.
You should die knowing why you're being killed. I'm killing you because
10 years ago, your daughter stood as a witness in my case. Okay?
Doesn't that piss you off?
Yeah, it does.>
The fact that I didn't know so much about my own daughter makes me mad.
If I knew that she was a girl with that much courage in her,
I would have praised her a lot more than I did.
And I would have complimented her a lot more.
I was always too harsh and sharp with my words.
That she would dance in joy even when she's in heaven.
She's always saying stuff like that.
So don't blame it all on yourself, okay?
Thanks for telling me.
And, don't hate Lawyer Cha too much.
He's doing this because he likes you a lot.
He's believing in Min Joon Gook's story right now. He thinks that you've just misunderstood him.
He wants to clear all your misunderstandings against Min Joon Gook. But that's because he doesn't know the truth.
In his position, that was probably the best he could do.
I know.
And...
You probably know this already.
But you really like Lawyer Cha too.
That's why it hurts even more.
So don't stay in hiding for too long, and accept his heart.
It'll be good for both of you.
I'll be going now, since I've told you everything that you should know.
Take care.
Huh?
Hey, Soo Ha.
Well... So...
Never mind.
Bye.
Thanks for everything you've done for me.
Study hard, okay?
♫ Don't hold on to my love ♫
♫ Like yesterday, I cried because I miss you ♫
♫ then I fall asleep crying. ♫
There's... One more thing that you don't know...
♫ From my two eyes, ♫
♫ on to my two cheeks, ♫
♫ you fall down ♫
♫ to my heart. ♫
♫ You became my tears, ♫
♫ and your love left me in tears. ♫
♫ The more I try to erase you, the more you spread ♫
♫ Do you know? ♫
I Can Hear Your Voice -Epilogue-
Should we have dinner to make up for the date we didn't have?
How's tonight?
Well... If you want to...
- Ah, never mind. I can't. - Why?
I have an appointment.
Earlier, Soo Ha and I made a promise to go somewhere.
You can't postpone it?
That's a little difficult.
If I cancel it, he'll be pretty sad.
I'm sorry again.
But, Soo Ha's promise comes first.
