(The Law Café)

(All people, organizations,
locations, and incidents--)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

Wait.

What's wrong?

We shouldn't do this.

Why? What's the problem?

Sorry.



That darn jerk who will be--

darned by all deities of the world.

He left like that, then--

Hey, Jung Ho!

I know you're in there!
You better come out!

Darn it!

Your call cannot be connected.

(Crazy Landlord)

I had it--

all planned out.

I wanted to resolve all my problems,

then ask her out confidently.

After we go eat pasta,

go to Mount Nam,



and go to Nami Island too.

That was my plan.

You!

(Law Café)

You!

(Episode 8: There Are
Islands Between People)

(The Law Café)

Excuse me.
More radish kimchi, please.

Sure.

Sure.
Coming.

(Mutant Tiger Moth)

Goodness.

Excuse me!
This is delicious.

I thought I said--

there's something I must
discuss with you discreetly.

Ever since I became a prosecutor,

I never discuss anything discreetly.

Nothing good happens after that.

Thank you.

I heard you're unemployed.

Is it fun to just bum around?

I heard you returned to
the Central District Office.

The chief prosecutor is--

still the same.

I think I already found--

that thing you had been looking for.

The evidence to prove--

the prosecution connection with Dohan Group.

These are the evidence--

that Chief Prosecutor Kim
Seung Woon redacted on purpose--

for the fire of Dohan's warehouse
back in 2006 with Dohan's request.

Man, hey.

Why are we filming a noir
film at a samgyetang place?

That's why I wanted to see you discreetly.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Give me a few days' time--

before I expose this.

Jungpyeong Island?

What's it like?

It's a little island in the Yellow Sea.

It's a desolate place,

so I volunteer there as a
doctor once every two months.

This time,

I wanted to go there with
the members of the Law Café.

I'd love to.
I want to go.

If it's a weekend trip, it
sounds great for me too.

I'll ask Joon and Eun Gang.

Okay, sounds great.

Should we ask Jung Ho too?

He won't show up if I'm going.

Mom.

Have you been well?

You should eat too.

I never find my food
delicious, so I rarely eat it.

It's not so bad today.

I followed the recipe just as you suggested.

I fought the urge to be creative.

Mom.
I'm all right, my son.

I just want to see you
like this from time to time.

I won't hope for a grandchild.

Please hear me out seriously.

You might be alarmed--

while watching the news very soon.

You might be summoned--

by the prosecution as a testifier.

What do you--

What do you mean?

Father will--

have to step down from his office.

Everything else will be
decided after the investigation.

I feel bad for you, Mom.

But this is the right thing to do.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what's going on,

but I trust--

your dad.

I know.

And that's why--

I feel even worse.

Jung Ho.

Hello.

Why do you look so depressed
unlike your usual self?

What kind of an impression
did I make on you?

How can I put this?
Free-spirited?

A jolly lad who drifts
peacefully on a sailing boat?

Goodness.

Whenever you chuckle like that,

my heart does ache a little.

So you aren't completely clueless.

No, I, Bae Joon,

may seem clueless,

but I'm not completely clueless.

Okay.

Right, Jung Ho.

What's delicious on Jungpyeong Island?

Jungpyeong Island?
Yes.

Aren't you coming with us?

Was I just totally clueless?

(Barun Mental Health Clinic)

(Law Café)

Jung Ho, please don't
tell him that I told you that.

It's a secret.

Jung Ho.

Of course, I was going to invite you.

I didn't see you all day, so I
didn't have a chance to ask.

Woo Jin.

By any chance,

do you like Yu Ri or something?

I do.

As a colleague and a neighbour.

That's as far as I can go right now.

I hope you'll stop there.

You can't even disclose the truth to her.

Do you think you have the right to say that?

I'll take back that right soon.

I need to tell her--

before it's too late.

Sir.
Goodness.

Welcome.

Hello.
Hello.

Nice to meet you.

If you're Dr. Park's friend,

we're all like family.

Make yourself at home, and take a good rest.

Okay.
You should go in.

Please.
Thank you.

This way. Take a seat.
Is it the room all the way inside?

Yes, all the way in.
Come on in.

Ma'am.

I think someone is already here.

Yes, one of your friends
got here early yesterday.

You're here.

Why are you here?
You were dying to avoid me.

I've been here before to volunteer--

with Woo Jin.

Your will to do this volunteer work--

must've been stronger than how
much you wanted to avoid me.

What happened a few days ago--

was a mistake.

I admit it.

"It was a mistake.
I admit it"?

That's the conclusion you got--

after avoiding me for days?

I'm sorry, but it wasn't a mistake for me.

What I mean is--
If you were going to leave,

why didn't you finish what we were doing?

To me,

you aren't someone I can
leave in the midst of a kiss.

You aren't someone I
can put on hold for days--

after leaving like that without a word.

If I were you,

I would never do that
because you're too precious--

for me to hurt you like that.

Are you not going to hear me out?

You began by saying it was a mistake,

so I don't want to hear it.

I threw down my pride
and flat out said I liked you.

How can you treat me like a joke?
You're awful.

What? Awful?

Yes, you're too awful,
so I can't do this anymore!

Why is everything so easy for you?

We've known for 17 years,
but you easily say you like me,

then you turn around so easily too.

What's always so difficult for you?

Tell me.
What's so difficult?

Tell me!

See? You won't say it.

You're so stupid,
idiotic, foolish, and dumb.

Good grief.

Hey, you're here.

What?

This is the line?

Wait.

Why are there so many people?

(Free Medical Service for
the Elderly of Haeong Village)

You become hectic and dizzy.
How so?

I slowly began to forget things.

Take a deep breath.

Breathe out.
If anything hurts,

write your name right here.

Here, take this.

(Free coffee with a counselling session)

Should I leave the cast on--

for about two weeks?

(Free coffee with a counselling session)

It smells good.
Enjoy.

It looks good.

It's bitter.
It's so bitter.

Goodness.

Make it delicious.
Goodness.

It's much better now.
This is nice.

It's drip coffee--
You have coffee too?

Have some coffee.
It's delicious.

Thank you.

Enjoy.
Thank you.

Enjoy.
Oh, my.

Oh, my, this is bitter.

We're to drink it like this?

I'm sure it's good for
your health since it's bitter.

It's free, so just chug it.

You'll even drink poison if it's free.

Of course.

Anyway, what's this legal counselling?

She's a lawyer.

Hello.

If you have any legal questions,

you can ask her.

The young man in the village hall--

also said he's a lawyer.

Old women like us don't
have many legal questions.

Why do we have two lawyers here?

What do you mean?
I have lots of questions.

First off, I should go ask some questions--

to that pretty young man in the hall.

Goodness, why?

You can ask me.

I'm a better counsellor.

It looked like he was much
better at playing cards.

Thanks for the bitter coffee.

Let's go play some cards.

I'll take the coffee.

Five birds.

Illegal gathering of forest
products at a national park is--

prohibited by the Natural Parks Act,

and you can be imprisoned
for up to three years--

or be fined up to 30,000 dollars.

It's a serious crime.

So everyone, you should be careful.

No Bright cards.
Third go.

Picking someone's farm
products is considered theft.

When tourists jump over the fence--

and keep taking your fruit,

you should install CCTV cameras
and report them to the police.

"That looks delicious."

The moment they walk
into someone's property,

it's considered a non-consensual intrusion.

My gosh.
What do you mean?

So when you go up the hill to
gather herbs and mushrooms,

you should be careful.

That's too stingy.

I need a yut!
Yut!

Yut! I'll catch that.
Oh, my!

It's prohibited by our law
to capture any snakes.

Man, does this mean I can
no longer have snake liquor?

No snake liquor, no wasp liquor,

or any other type of such liquor.

You'll all be fined for doing that.

Sir, what kind of coffee would you like?

This one.

Jung Ho, five non-bitter coffee.

Eun Gang, five non-bitter coffee.

Hurry up.

Any other questions?
Non-bitter ones are popular.

I guess it's sweet and delicious.

Goodness.
Excuse me.

Guys, she needs some counselling.

Okay.
Make way.

We can continue later.

You should ask him right away.

You can't let her bully you forever.

Goodness, it's all right.
Don't say that.

Let me tell you on her behalf.

There was this old woman--

who was a great friend
and her next-door neighbour.

She must have been offended by something.

There's the path that leads into her house.

She claimed that it's her land,
and that she can't use it anymore.

This woman is 80 years old,

but she walks across a pepper
field and jumps over the wall--

to go to her house.

How does this make any sense?

Goodness, yes.
I never knew that--

she could be this outrageous--

and tenacious.

Exactly.
Yes.

Goodness, it's not like that.

Just stay quiet, okay?

What do you mean?
Well--

Did you check the land ownership--

of the strip of land in question?

I went to the provincial office--

and requested the land registration map.

And it looked like her land.

What's with you?

I checked with the provincial office.

They said it's my land.

Doesn't this mean I can
do whatever I want with it?

Goodness, it's still illegal
for you to block the way.

What? How is that illegal?

From the drawing,

I can see that the other lady's
land isn't connected to any roads.

According to Article Nine
of the Private Road Act,

no builder of a private road--

may restrict or block the public traffic.

It's especially so for a place like this--

without any detours.
She can't block that.

She's not allowed to.
Right?

See?
I told you.

Of course.
However,

according to Article Ten
of the Private Road Act,

the builder of a private
road may collect tolls--

from the users of the private road.

Which means you may have to pay.

What?
Pay her?

That's nonsense.

But if you demand an absurd amount,

you may not get it approved.

Your neighbour may sue you too.

You should give way--

and work it out peacefully.

I mean, you can't break down--
Stop.

Seriously.

Fine, sue me if you want!

This all happened
because you didn't let me--

pass your house to
go to the hill in the back.

Why do I have to back down?

Come on, Mak Rye.

How can you be so cold?

We're all neighbours.

Hey.

Why is everyone--

on Wol Seon's side?

I'm your neighbour too, you know!

(Haeong Village Hall)

Look at her.

She's taking her anger out on all of us.

How ridiculous.

She used to be so close to Wol Seon.

What's gotten into her all of a sudden?

Gosh.
Oh, goodness.

Goodness.
She's so spiteful.

Gosh.
What's gotten into her?

We're going to meet at
the village hall tomorrow--

to try to resolve the issue from earlier.

But who knows?

It might just end with
people fighting instead.

What are you planning to do with Ms. Na?

I felt bad that she left in tears.

I thought she might want
someone to listen to her.

It's close by.
I'll draw you a map.

Pay her a visit.

It's pretty late.
I'll go with you.

I'll go.

I don't have any luggage either.

My, you could all go together.

Why are you fighting?

I can go alone, Dr. Park.

I think it'll let her open up
more for me to go alone.

Okay. I understand.

Don't follow me.

Who says I'm following you?

I'm going somewhere else.

I have somewhere to go.

I didn't want--

to be petty or anything.

But Wol Seon--

has been acting strange lately.

Wol Seon.

Are you home?

Maybe she's not here.

Her shoes are here.
Last spring,

I went to her house to
pick some spring mugwort.

Hey, Mak Rye!

Hi, Wol Seon.
You can't go there.

What?
You can't--

go there.
She suddenly came running--

even though her knees aren't strong,

and she got irritated with me.
What? What's wrong?

They dug that place up,
so there's nothing to pick.

What do you mean?
Where are you going?

You can't go that way.

She said that I couldn't
take that way to go to the hill.

She told me that if I wanted to
go, I should go from the other side.

We spent 30 years going to
each other's houses like family.

I thought there must be some reason--

why she suddenly changed.
So I visited her several times.

But she told me--

not to come to her house anymore.

Oh, my.

I don't care about the land.

I'm just so upset.

I'd understand--

if she'd only tell me her reasons.

Of course.

You guys are so close.
You'd understand if she told you.

She's just keeping everything to herself.

It's making me so frustrated.

It'd make me frustrated too.

Obviously avoiding someone,

not telling them the truth.

You. You're annoying.

I tried to avoid you and sealed a contract--

for you to stop annoying me.

I don't have feelings for you.

So please--

wait for me.

I like you too.

You!

Making you confused.

Hiding as soon as you start to get close.

Are you crying, lawyer lady?

Don't cry.

I can't help it.

Your story's got me all riled up.

Who is it?

Oh, goodness.

Don't cry because of someone like him.

That's a waste of your tears.

Anyway,

it's true that Wol Seon suddenly changed.

That's right.

You see,

I have a feeling--

there's something--

in the hill in the back.

What was that?

What would that be?

I'm not sure.

But--

no matter how much you cover things up,

things can't be hidden forever.

Something's definitely there.

Head inside. Good night.
Good night.

There's something--

in the hill in the back.

Hey. Kim Yu Ri.

Hey.

Gosh.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Kim Yu Ri.

Oh, hey.

Sorry.

Hey, Kim Yu Ri.
That's not a person, you know.

But still.

Something's hurt.

It's an elk.

An elk must've gotten
caught in a wild boar trap.

It's been crying all night.

But--

what are you two doing
here on private land--

in the middle of the night?

I heard something crying.

I was worried that
something might've happened.

There isn't anyone on this
island that'd be screaming like that.

It's Ms. Park Wol Seon's son?

He used to live in Seoul,
but he came back here.

He said he was going to raise blueberries,

then he said he was
going to raise watermelons.

This year, he said he was going
to raise Shine Muscat or whatever.

Anyway, he's all over the place.

It's frustrating to watch him.

Chief.

Wasn't this supposed to
be just us and the ladies?

Yes, I know,

but they wanted to watch.
What could I have done about it?

We're going to get started now.

Please pay attention.
Okay.

Okay.
Let's get started.

Okay. To summarize,

Ms. Park always used the road--

on Ms. Na's land.

But Ms. Na no longer wants to let her do so.
That's the issue here.

Yes.
That's right.

The problem started--

because Ms. Park told Ms. Na
to stop using her road to the hill.

Let's start there.

Wait.

Those two are separate problems.

You can get to the hill
using a different road.

Ms. Na is taking away
the conventional route.

How can you consider
those two to be the same?

Hey. How can you not allow
me to pass through your land--

but still want to pass through mine?

We don't need to make this a legal issue.

If Ms. Park just lets Ms. Na--

use the road to the hill in the back,

Ms. Na is willing to let Ms. Park
use the road in front of her house.

That's only fair.

What do you think, Ms. Park?

I knew she'd do this.

How can I understand you
if you don't say anything?

Wol Seon.

Do you know what upsets me most?

Those darn mugwort rice cakes.

The mugwort rice cakes!

Mugwort rice cakes?
What is she talking about?

Gosh, Wol Seon.

What are you eating deliciously?

Give me one.

Will you?
What are you talking about?

What's that?
Nothing.

It's nothing.

Gosh, you're eating all by yourself.

Her mugwort rice cakes?
Something happened, I see.

I have no idea.
Oh, no.

Seriously.
What was so delicious--

that you couldn't even share--

with me, your friend of 30 years?

We share everything with each other.

What's this mugwort rice cake?
What is she talking about?

What?
Wol Seon. What's she saying?

What is she talking about?
Everyone. Please be quiet.

What?
You shouldn't be petty with food.

That's right.
Seriously.

But still, it's not right to block a road--

that your neighbour uses on a daily basis.

If you're upset about
something, you should talk it out.

But she couldn't.

Ms. Na asked Ms. Park over and over--

about why she wouldn't
share the rice cakes--

and why she suddenly
wouldn't let Ms. Na into her yard--

after spending 30 years like family.

But she didn't answer.

She could have her reasons.

You don't always have
to say everything out loud.

Always hiding things is a habit.

You couldn't do that--

if you thought about how the
person getting rejected feels--

at least once.

They spent so much time together.

I'm sure Ms. Na would've
understood, whatever it was.

She can't even understand this.
How can you be so sure?

By the way,

they're still talking--

about Mak Rye and Wol Seon, right?

Someone-- Yes.

tell me what's happening.
Gosh.

I didn't know this conversation
would become so deep.

It's interesting.

I'm sure she had her reasons.

I'm sure she had something--

so hard, tough, and frustrating--

that she couldn't even tell
her friend of 30 years about it.

Couldn't Ms. Na have assumed
so and waited for Ms. Park?

She tried, but Ms. Park keeps running away.

Ms. Park keeps getting more distant.
Ms. Park keeps pushing her away.

It's because she's scared.

She's scared that she might be hated.

She's scared that Ms. Na might leave her.

That's why she's
hesitating and backing away.

So go easy on her.

Please give her some time
even though you're frustrated.

Wol Seon!

Oh, Mak Rye.
I was bad. I'm sorry.

I was too impatient.
No.

Oh, Wol Seon.

I'll wait.

I'll just keep waiting,

so tell me when you're ready.

Oh, good job.

This is good.
Oh, yes.

You both made the right choice.
Bravo.

Does that mean you'll let
her use your road again,

Ms. Na?

Yes. I will.

Oh, my.
This is great!

I'm so relieved.
Okay. We're good.

Such touching tears.

I declare that this issue--

has been settled.

Excuse me.

But I don't think--

you two are done talking yet.

It was getting very interesting.

Do you want to continue?

There's an island between two people.

It's an island of secrets.

I wanted to go to the island--

that Jung Ho keeps to himself.

I must've forgotten for a moment--

that the island is where he hides--

sad and scary events from his past.

I think--

we'll have to prepare very well.

What does the prosecution have?

Why are they so confident?

I think they found very important evidence--

about the incident that happened
in the warehouse in 2006.

Was it Jung Ho who gave them the evidence?

Goodness.
Look how things are going.

That happened a very long time ago.

Could that still be a problem now?

The real problem--

is that all of the cases
related to Dohan Group--

that Chief Prosecutor Kim handled--

will be revisited as
part of this investigation.

Where are you, Pyun Woong?

Father--

What were you doing?

How did you let things get to this point?

I'm the president of a company, you know.

I can't just follow Kim
Seung Woon around all day--

in hopes of finding something.

What?

You're so worried that
something might happen--

to your son-in-law who
doesn't even listen to you.

Aren't you worried about me,
your son who gave you a new liver?

You were the one who said--

that you'd live like a dog if I took you in.

Why do you want to be a human now?

I was 15 years old--

when I said that to you.

I've done so much for you--

I've done so much for you since then.
Isn't it natural--

for me to want something more?

Stop calling me father!

Also, what did you do for me?

I gave you one company to manage,

and you've already ruined it.

The money that was left--

after I ruined the company--

all went into your pockets.

Is that nothing for you?

Do you have dementia or something?
Did you forget?

This punk.

I know your brother is dead,

but you'll never take his place.
Wake up!

Once a dog, always a dog.

Just eat what I give you.

Don't try to take more.

Also, we'll have a use for
the chief prosecutor someday.

Take care of it before things get worse.

Gosh.
There.

Thank you, ma'am.
No problem. Goodness.

I'm so thankful to you both today.

What a beautiful age.

That's the best period of one's life.

That's not true.

You're at a great age as well.
It's a beautiful age.

You are so pretty.

Do you have kids?

Oh, my.

I know you're not supposed to
ask things like that these days.

I'm sorry.

No, it's not that.

Oh, that's fine too.

It's also nice to live by
yourselves without a kid.

You could decide to have one later.

Oh, right.
I forgot to bring out marinated crab.

I'll bring it out right now.

Goodness.

The mugwort rice cakes!

Seriously.
What was so delicious--

that you couldn't even share--

with me, your friend of 30 years?

We share everything with each other.

What are you doing?

Is it good?
Yes.

It's so good.

These are the rice cakes.

Open up.
Let's be joint offenders.

Joint offenders, my foot.

Because of what you just
said, you became an abetter.

How could you try to get me involved?

Let's talk after dinner.

About what?

I realized you'll be hurt more--

the more I hesitate like a coward.

So I'm--

going to work up the courage.

If so,

let's talk tomorrow.

Why tomorrow?

You must've felt--

like you were indebted to me
the whole time I've been waiting--

for you to tell me.

I won't wait--

or rush you today.

So even if it's just today,

let everything go and just hang out with me.

Here.
Oh--

This is very tasty.

Thank you.
Thank you for all the food.

No problem.

Here, this is the good part.

Okay, thank you.

Here, you too.

Thank you.

It's good.

Let's go.

Let's talk.

Avoiding it won't do us any good.

I'll no longer make you wait.

Jung Ho.

The ants are--

moving.

Stop trying to change the subject.
I'm serious right now.

Saying that I didn't want you to get hurt--

and that it was the
best thing for your sake,

I kept avoiding you like a coward,

and I was actually hurting you
the whole time I was doing that.

Yu Ri, are you listening?

The stars are--

moving too.

You can see the stars from here?

That's-- We're the ones
who are moving, not the stars.

They look like they're moving
because the earth is rotating.

Yu Ri, are you going to
keep changing the subject?

You're right.

When I move,

the stars move too.

The starlight is falling

Kim Yu Ri!

Yu Ri.

Hey.

Yu Ri, what's the matter with you?

Yu Ri, are you all right?

What's wrong with her?

Yu Ri, are you okay?

Sir, let's take her to the hospital.
Please get ready.

Even if we were to take
her to the nearest hospital,

we'd have to take a boat.

Yes, that's fine.
We'll do that!

Look. She's nearly dying.

It doesn't look like anything serious.

She must've had a drink or two.

Gosh, this is nuts.

Yu Ri.

What's wrong?

Snap out of it.
Please?

Kim Jung Ho!
Yes.

Jung Ho.
Yes, Yu Ri.

Am I--

a bad kisser?

Is that why you ran away?

What on earth are you talking about?

Jung Ho!

Woo Jin!
Come here.

What's going on?
She's acting strange.

She didn't have a drop
of alcohol, but she keeps--

talking nonsense and laughing.

Oh, be careful.

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim.
What?

Dr. Park.

Do you think--

I'm a bad kisser?

She didn't drink?
No, not a single drop.

Her eyes are red, but her pulse is normal.

Did she eat something wrong?

No, she had dinner and--

Is it good?
Yes.

It's so good.

Hold on, the rice cake.

She had the rice cake.

Ma'am, what's in that rice cake?

What? Rice cake?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The mugwort rice cake!

What's in it?

Rice cake?

Is he talking about the rice
cake that you eat in secret?

Please tell me what's in it!

As you can see, she's on
the verge of death right now!

Like I said,

it doesn't look that serious.

Tell me, Wol Seon!

I thought those rice cakes
were made with mugwort.

Are they not?

The truth is--

I went up the hill behind my
house sometime last spring--

and saw a bunch of them.

What were they?

Can--

Cannabis.

Cannabis?

Oh, my goodness.
What did she say?

What do we do?
Cannabis.

What? Cannabis?

I picked and dried the petals.
Then I made rice cakes with them.

After I had them, all my
body aches went away.

And it helps me sleep better at night.

Ma'am, it's illegal!

Yes, I know that.

If you get addicted, it can
become a serious problem.

And it's very bad for the brain.

I know that too, but--

But what?

My body aches can get really bad.

I was going to make them
for myself only once in a while,

but my son found out.

At first, I told him to just get
rid of the grass around them--

and sprinkle some fertilizer.

But they just--

kept on growing.

My goodness.
What do I do? Oh, dear.

My gosh.

Oh, no.
Ms. Kim.

Hey!
Sir.

Yu Ri.
Ms. Kim!

Get her!

Stop her! Hey!

Oh, my goodness.

Hey, Young Jun.
You're here.

Sir, what are you doing here at this hour?

Move your truck.
We have to hurry down.

What?
Hey, what are you doing?

Where are you going?

I have to take her to the
hospital, so get out of our way!

You can't take her to
the hospital in that state!

Young Jun, that's enough.

Stay out of this, Mother!

You grew, stored, and used cannabis!

I'm suspecting that you even sold some.

These things are all
considered serious offences.

You'd better step aside quietly.

Are you going to report me to the police?

Move, will you?
Hey, don't.

Don't call the police.
Let's not overreact, okay?

They naturally grow in
the fields in the countryside.

They grow naturally?
As if!

They do.
Believe me!

What's that?

My goodness.
What is going on?

What is that?
Oh, no!

Ms. Na!
What are you doing?

Young Jun, you stupid punk!

I will bulldoze everything--

that is stressing Wol Seon
out, including the darn cannabis.

You punk!

Ms. Na!

Do you even know how much they're worth?

Why does that even matter?

Do you care more about them
than your mother? You darn brat!

What is the matter with you?
You punk.

If you want to earn money,

do it legally!
Let go!

Ms. Kim!

Calm down.
Let go!

You little--

I must take her to the hospital!

Stop them!
Ma'am, calm down.

Stop.

All of you, that's enough.

Stop!
Stop.

Stop!

Please stop.

If you keep this up, we're all doomed!

What did I do wrong?
Who do you think you are?

Oh, no.
The floor is cold.

It's freezing in here.
Oh, dear.

Excuse me.

The floor is ice-cold.
Gosh, it is cold.

Officer, could you help me?

Why didn't you tell us
that you were that ill?

It has already spread all over,

so it'd be pointless to
undergo treatment now.

I don't want to die in the hospital.

I don't want to leave my village
and land where I've lived all my life.

I want to be with my friends
when I breathe my last.

Darn it.

But look at me now.
I ended up behind bars.

You're a first-time offender--

and have extenuating circumstances,

so you won't get a jail sentence.
Don't worry.

But as for my son,

he'll receive a heavier punishment, right?

Hey! How dare you!

Let me talk to your manager!

Go get your manager!
Calm down.

I did nothing wrong.
You can't keep me here!

Calm down.

Yes.

But I have to say,

I feel so relieved--

that I don't have to hide it anymore.

I can finally sleep peacefully at night.

Oh, right.

Please let the lawyer lady know--

that I said sorry.

Gosh, who knew she'd eat so much of it?

I'll let her know.
Look.

Can't you at least give
her an electric blanket?

Must you keep that elderly
lady in such a cold cell?

Mr. Lawyer.

Yes.
Give her an electric blanket--

Can I tell you a secret?

In your eyes, I must look very old.

But I've aged like this
in the blink of an eye.

When I look at myself in the mirror,

I can't believe that I'm
a wrinkly old lady now.

Every day, I'm still in disbelief.

You see, my husband--

died at age 40.

We don't have as much
time as we think we do.

We keep things bottled up,

thinking we'd get a
chance to say it later on.

But life waits for no one.

So don't hurt that beautiful lady.

Don't make her wait.

Don't waste your precious time--

because you'll deeply regret it later on.

(Chief Jung Moon Sik)

(Shin Hee Soo)

Yes.

What's wrong?
Do you have a headache?

No, I just--

Just what?

I just remember seeing
the starlight falling.

What happened to me?
Did I get drunk?

When did I drink?

Ms. Kim, it's the rice cake you ate.

It's not made with mugwort.

Then what is it?
It has--

cannabis--

Don't mind him.

Why don't you just think--

that you took a short trip somewhere?

(A breaking news
report will follow shortly.)

Gosh, I'm so out of breath.

My gosh.

How did it go?

I tried my best to stop them, but--

But what?

I just let them go public with it
because it was such a hassle.

What? Come again?

What time is it?

Let's watch the news.

This just in.
Kim Seung Woon,

the chief of the Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office,

who has been at the
forefront of prosecution reform,

deliberately covered up Dohan
Group's corruption for years.

This news is causing
public outrage at the moment.

The prosecution stated--

that Chief Prosecutor Kim and Dohan Group--

Hey, Kim Jung Ho.
Why aren't you picking up?

We're doomed.

Hey, I don't know who gave them the tip-off,

but it's all over the news now.

Chief Prosecutor Kim Seung Woon is married--

to Lee Yeon Ju, the youngest
daughter of Lee Byung Ok,

the chairman of Dohan.

It was said that she cut all ties
with Dohan Group and her family--

when she married Kim Seung Woon.

However, it's been discovered--

that Chief Prosecutor Kim
Seung Woon and Dohan Group--

have had secret deals--

starting with the Hwacheon
warehouse incident in 2006.

The details of their
deals and transactions--

have not been confirmed yet,

but many speculate that
Chief Prosecutor Kim--

accepted bribes in return for covering up--

the company's corruption or
helping them destroy evidence.

("Was Kim Seung Woon Dohan Group's Snitch?")

("Was Kim Seung Woon Dohan Group's Snitch?")

("He Couldn't Turn Down
His Father-in-law's Request")

("Distrust in Prosecution Deepens")

Ms. Kim!

Wait, Ms. Kim.

Jung Ho--

tried to tell you.

It is the truth.
Please believe me.

When you do something you think is right,

it doesn't mean everyone will agree.

I'm sorry about what
happened to your father.

I believe--

he did his best within the
bounds of what he thinks is right.

But I have a lot of things to resolve--

before I can--

go to you.

I'm sure she had her reasons.

I'm sure she had something--

so hard, tough, and frustrating.

So please wait for me.

Did your father cover up the
case involving my dad too?

Was this the thing you had to take care of?

I wanted to take care of it first,

then tell you all about it.

I guess I'm a step too late.
Yes, you are.

From now on, I don't even
want to waste a split second.

I want to go to you.

What do I do now, Jung Ho?

Like you said, I'm beginning to hate you.

You can hate me.

You can run away.
You can push me away if you want to.

So just don't--

leave me.

(The Law Café)

I will gladly accept any kind of punishment.

Then wait. Right now, I don't
even want to think about it.

Help us!

What?

You feel heaviness in the chest
and feel like you can't breathe.

It's all because of that jerk.

That shaman--

duped all of you?

Is it because of that lawyer girl?

Know your place.

Come here.
Those arrogant eyes of yours.

Is there something else I don't know?

That I love you.
