Weird Lawyer Woo Young Woo (2022): Season 1, Episode 10 - Episode #1.10 - full transcript
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
Hey!
Stop right there!
Hey!
Let go!
You're going to hurt yourself. Hold still!
What's your problem?
I didn't do anything wrong!
Then why did you run away?
You ran because you know what you did.
Damn it! Do you have a warrant?
Tell me. Do you have a warrant?
You want to see a warrant?
I guess you watched a few cop shows.
Stop it already.
You can talk at the station.
It's an illegal arrest
if you don't have an arrest warrant.
Illegal arrest? You don't know
what you're talking about.
This is an emergency arrest.
This is a necessary capture
of a fugitive suspect.
We don't need a warrant
for these situations. Got it?
Even if it is an emergency arrest,
Article 200-5 of the Criminal
Procedure Act still applies.
"When arresting a suspect,
the prosecutor or judicial police officer
shall notify the suspect of the facts
of the suspected crime,
the reason for arrest,
their right to an attorney,
and give an opportunity
to justify oneself."
This is also called the Miranda Rights.
Are you not aware of this?
So I've just been illegally arrested?
The police illegally arrested a citizen!
You're filming all this right?
Post it on all your social media accounts.
Hey, why are you interrupting
official police duties?
Are you an attorney or something?
- Yes.
- What?
I'm Woo Young-woo,
an attorney at Hanbada Law Firm.
Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, race car, Woo Young-woo.
- Detective Park, uncuff him.
- What?
Uncuff him!
Okay.
Now, Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
At this point,
you are under emergency arrest.
You have the right to remain silent
and to appoint an attorney.
You have the right to request the court
to review the legality of the arrest too.
- Would that be all?
- No.
You didn't inform him
of the charges for his arrest.
Quasi-rape of a person with disabilities.
- What?
- Are you serious?
- Goodness.
- What a piece of trash.
This piece-of-trash bastard
sexually assaulted a woman
with an intellectual disability!
Now, are we good here?
CASE 10
HOLDING HANDS CAN WAIT
What?
You really came.
Thank you so much.
You have no idea
how much I begged my parents
to get me the Kayak Deed attorney.
You're a total celebrity!
You were in the newspaper too.
The first autistic attorney
of the Republic of Korea, Kayak Deed!
My name is Woo Young-woo.
Of course, I know.
But for some reason,
I want to call you Attorney Kayak Deed.
Can I?
No. Call me Attorney Woo Young-woo.
Okay, Young-woo.
Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
You're charged with quasi-rape
of a person with disabilities.
Do you have any idea
how severe the punishment for that is?
The statutory penalty of typical rape
is three or more years of imprisonment,
but the rape of a person with disabilities
is a life sentence or a minimum
of seven years of imprisonment.
This isn't the time to talk about
stuff like "kayak" and "deed."
Do you not realize
how bad the situation is?
I really didn't do anything bad like that.
Yes, I had an HN with FFY, but rape?
Doesn't that involve hitting and swearing
and forcing yourself on that person?
"FFY"?
"HN"?
Right.
It's my pet name for Hye-yeong.
"FFY."
"Fool For Yang Jeong-il"
And "HN" means, well…
You know.
"Hot Night."
Even if it is a pet name,
why would you choose the word "fool"
for someone
who is intellectually disabled?
She calls me a fool too.
"FFH."
"Fool For Hye-yeong"
What?
If you want the two to match,
shouldn't it be "FFS"?
The victim's name is Shin Hye-yeong.
Or change what you call her to "FFJ"...
Attorney Woo.
Is that really important right now?
No.
Hye-yeong and I
love each other.
Assailant and victim?
It's really nothing like that.
We understand that you didn't use
violence or threaten her
in order to engage
in sexual intercourse with her.
That's what Ms. Shin also said
during the police investigation.
But a sex offense can be established
even if there was no force involved.
The typical charge being quasi-rape.
And this case,
the Act on Special Cases Concerning
the Punishment of Sexual Crimes...
Right! PSC!
I know what that is!
The prosecutor always mentioned it.
Paragraph 4 of Article 6 states,
"A person who has sexual intercourse
with another person by taking advantage
of a person's inability to resist
or difficulty in resisting
due to physical or mental disability
can be punished."
So the prosecution believes
that you took advantage
of Ms. Shin's intellectual disability.
I didn't take advantage of anything!
I'm really not that kind of person!
You got Ms. Shin Hye-yeong to get
a credit card issued under her name
and had her pay the date expenses
that cost millions of won all by herself.
- Is that not taking advantage?
- Listen.
Gosh.
Hye-yeong is well-off.
So she paid for the dates
with her younger boyfriend.
Is that a crime?
Why did you join Eoulrim
when you don't even have a disability?
The group introduces itself as
"A gathering of people
with intellectual disabilities,
developmental disabilities, and autism."
That was for a good cause.
Groups like that usually need volunteers.
I was a member of Eoulrim
and I met Hye-yeong.
And it was love at first sight.
Why doesn't anybody believe me?
Is it because Hye-yeong is disabled?
A person without disabilities truly loving
a person with an intellectual disability.
Is it that hard to believe?
Who said that? We...
People with disabilities
are kind and innocent.
They're people
who fully deserve to be loved.
Attorney Kayak Deed would know.
Right?
Where did you pick up
such a troublesome case like this?
I picked it up on subway line two.
I can already picture
what must have happened.
You showed off by talking about
illegal arrests and warrants, didn't you?
You did.
This is why they say
nothing good comes from
letting people know you're an attorney.
Okay. From now on, I will try not to
let other people know I'm an attorney.
Sexual assault
usually happens in private, right?
So more often than not, the only evidence
is the victim's statement.
In that situation, what should be done
to defend the defendant?
Discredit the victim's statement.
But the victim is a person
with an intellectual disability.
Then, of course,
the victim's statement is more likely
to be neither specific nor consistent.
But despite knowing these circumstances,
you still have to discredit
the credibility of the victim's statement.
This is quite an unpleasant thing
to do as an attorney.
What if we get off this case now?
They can save on commission fees
if they go to a smaller law firm than us.
That sounds like a better option
for Mr. Yang's parents too.
I don't think that's a bad idea.
What about you, Attorney Woo?
I…
I want to defend Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
Why?
What he's saying could be true.
You believe all that nonsense?
I want to…
Believe it.
I want it to be true that he and Ms. Shin
are really in love.
If you want to believe
the defendant that bad,
then you should take it.
Proceed with the case.
Okay.
Attorney Choi, you too.
Excuse me?
You know it's easy to get emotional
when you want to believe the defendant.
Join Attorney Woo and "whoa, whoa" her
so she doesn't make that mistake.
"Whoa, whoa"?
Whoa. Please.
That's awesome.
Give me the details of the situation.
Including the air, sunlight, clouds, speed
of the wind, temperature, and humidity.
So…
I like you.
I like you so much
that it feels like…
I'm sick inside.
He's sick because he likes you!
Call the doctor! Call the ambulance!
Hello? Is this 911?
What? You're not just 911
but the 911 of love?
All right.
The problem is after that.
After liking each other.
What do I do now?
How did you respond to him
after he said he likes you?
Well…
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, race car, Yeoksam Station.
Yeoksam Station.
Attorney Woo!
So you ran away
after he expressed his feelings to you?
This punk dined and dashed.
Dined and dashed on love.
At the time, my mind turned blank.
So I just wanted to get away
from the situation.
I was rude, right?
Well, I wouldn't say you were rude...
More like weird.
Forget about it. Just do something
before it gets even worse.
What do I do?
You date Jun-ho.
Hey, how can you date someone right away
just because they said they like you?
You have to get to know each other first
by going on a few dates.
How do you do that?
Going on dates?
There's not much to it.
Get food, have tea,
watch movies, and sing karaoke.
Do things you think
would be fun to do together.
There's a lot to do if you look into it.
Look at you.
Hairy Boss, you know a lot of things
when you don't even have a girlfriend.
Do you go on imaginary dates?
I'm going to live aggressively
from now on.
If you know someone nice,
introduce me to him.
Because I'm going to win him over.
You're going to aggressively
win someone over?
I can think of someone.
He knows a lot about being nice.
He pulls out seats, opens car doors,
makes the person walk on the inside
of the street when walking together,
and carries their things.
Really?
Can I introduce you to a girlfriend?
- What?
- Hey, what about me?
Introduce me to someone too.
She's like an angel
in the spring sunshine who recently said
she's going to
aggressively win a good guy over.
Aggressive, win over, good guy,
spring sunshine, angel?
Gosh, she sounds amazing.
Hey, what about me?
What about me?
You…
Hey.
So when will this be happening?
I have to go on a diet.
Me, first.
Well…
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT
That is all.
Counselor.
Give your opening statement.
Excuse me.
Can Attorney Kayak Deed defend me?
What?
Everyone here
is glaring at us.
I don't think they will be able to
once they know you're my attorney.
- What?
- Yes. The defendant has a point.
Attorney Woo,
you give the opening statement.
So that it doesn't look like a trial
between the disabled and non-disabled.
Are you not giving your statement?
I'm sorry. We'll get started right away.
Remember what you said
during your first trial?
To excuse you because you have autism.
Begin with that.
I have autism spectrum disorder.
Right.
So please excuse me if my speech seems
inarticulate and my actions awkward.
JURY
The defendant denies
all charges in this case.
The defendant, Mr. Yang,
and the victim, Ms. Shin,
are in a loving relationship
and engaged in consensual intercourse.
- What?
- Lies!
- Consensual?
- You call that love?
- What are you saying?
- What nonsense is that?
Goodness.
Silence in the court!
Do you not know courtroom etiquette?
Mr. Yang Jeong-il and Ms. Shin Hye-yeong
used an app called Alkongdalkong,
which was developed for couples.
On March 13th, the two
chatted on Alkongdalkong
and had the following conversation.
"FFH" is the defendant's pet name,
which means "Fool For Shin Hye-yeong,"
and "FFY" is the victim's pet name,
which means "Fool For Yang Jeong-il."
It's unfortunate that they did not match
the two by either last name or first name.
Anyway,
please look closely at their conversation.
FFH: FFY, DID YOU SLEEP WELL?
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE CK AND CFDT?
"Go to the CK and CFDT?"
"CK" means "Coin Karaoke."
"CFDT" means "Chicken For Dinner Tonight?"
Both are abbreviations.
"HN" is an abbreviation of "Hot Night,"
referring to sexual intercourse.
What about "Shine, shine"?
"Shine, shine"?
- What?
- Right.
Are you referring to the "Shiii shiii"
that comes after
"I don't know, I don't know"?
Right.
That's "Shiii, shiii"?
Yes, I think it's a modification
of the word "shy."
Similar modifications would be "When
will you be dun?" and "I miss ya."
Those I understand.
You don't have to explain.
Based on Ms. Shin's written statement,
the prosecution claims
on March 12th,
the day before these chat messages,
Mr. Yang Jeong-il sexually assaulted
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
But does this chat
that starts with "Did you sleep well?"
And ends with "I miss ya"
seem like a conversation
between a sexual assault victim
and the assailant?
Isn't it fair to see this
as a loving chat between a couple
who are deeply in love?
You have to read between the lines!
Calling each other by pet names
and saying "I miss you" doesn't mean love.
That gigolo-like bastard seduced Hye-yeong
then took her to karaoke and ate chicken!
He even took her to motels!
He was just enjoying himself!
What's going on today?
If you keep speaking up
without permission,
you'll be removed from the courtroom.
Your Honor, she is the victim's mother.
It was wrong of her to speak
without your permission, but…
That's how that bastard
played my daughter.
It's all up there, but what?
A loving chat?
How can you call yourself an attorney
when you can't even tell the difference?
Ma'am!
I said be quiet!
Sit down.
Attorney Woo?
Yes. You told me last time
that you have some information about her.
Right. It's nothing.
Come on. What is it?
Your face is saying otherwise.
Well…
Someone wrote a post
on Hanbada's bulletin board
saying that the CEO went to university
with Attorney Woo's father,
so she gave her a job at Hanbada.
That's it?
What? Yes.
There's nothing about Tae Su-mi?
Tae Su-mi?
Apparently, Attorney Woo
is Tae Su-mi's daughter.
What?
What?
According to who?
Do you still…
like me?
Yes, I do.
And I was hurt
when you just left like that last time.
Right.
About that…
I'm sorry.
If you still like me,
what if we get to know each other better
before becoming an official couple?
Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
I researched things to do on dates
and made a list.
THINGS TO DO ON DATES
Goodness.
There's a lot.
- Yes.
- Well…
Is taking you home not on here?
What?
It isn't.
Really?
Should I add it?
I'll take you home today.
Right.
Add…
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Then I'm assuming…
Holding hands while taking you home
isn't on the list, right?
No. Even if it was on there,
holding hands is not easy for me.
My father often
wanted to hold my hand too,
but I could only bear it
for a maximum of 57 seconds.
Really?
What happens if you hold hands
for over 57 seconds?
I want to let go to the point
where it becomes unbearable if I don't.
Right, I see.
Do you want to hold hands
even if it is only for 57 seconds?
Are you sure?
I can't do it.
Right.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
No, it's all right.
I'll just take you home today then.
Holding hands can wait.
"Holding hands can wait."
What is the exact degree
of the victim's intellectual disability?
Well…
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong has a mild
intellectual disability with an IQ of 65.
Through training, she is able to have
a social life and a job.
She has the developmental age
of a 13-year-old, so a 6th grader.
This is the victim's statement
that was written
during the police investigation process.
Have you seen this?
As a psychiatrist,
how do you feel about this statement?
Overall, I feel that it has credibility.
The descriptions of the circumstances
at the time of the assault are in detail
and her thoughts and emotions
are also expressed consistently.
The victim's thoughts and emotions?
Like what?
"When the sex began,
I started to feel bad."
"I was scared."
"I didn't like it because I thought
I would get in trouble with Mom."
She's expressing herself clearly.
Then why wasn't the victim
able to resist the defendant's actions?
The reason is written in the statement
without me having to speculate.
"I said no and he got upset.
He was about to cry."
"He said it wasn't true love."
People with intellectual disabilities
are especially vulnerable to violence
that takes advantage of relationships
or disguised as affection.
The victim seems to have been afraid
that she might lose this relationship
if she denied the unwanted sex.
And it's highly likely that she didn't
know how to refuse in the first place.
Yes, that is all.
Counselor, begin cross-examination.
Witness.
Have you seen the chats between
the defendant and Ms. Shin?
No, I haven't.
According to the prosecution's claim,
the defendant
raped Ms. Shin on March 12th.
That day,
Ms. Shin said the following
to the defendant on chat.
Could you read the underlined sentences?
"I love you. I miss ya."
"I've been waiting for you to text me
for a while now."
"Let's always be together."
Such affectionate expressions
are not only seen
on the chat on March 12th.
The chat between the two
is full of Ms. Shin's expressions
of love for the defendant
until the day he was arrested
and was no longer able to chat.
What do you think about this?
I think it's awfully…
Heartbreaking.
Excuse me?
We all want to love and be loved.
It's the same for people
with intellectual disabilities too.
Rather, the desire is even greater.
Because in most cases,
it's harder for them to get the attention
or affection they want from others.
Can't you tell from Ms. Shin Hye-yeong's
earnest expressions of love here?
The problem is that, with people
who have intellectual disabilities,
there are many situations
where they misunderstand
an impure motive toward them
as pure affection.
Their ability to distinguish
between normal and improper relationships
is sometimes lacking as well.
In that sense, it's hard to say
that Ms. Shin Hye-yeong
has sound decision-making capabilities
when it comes to sex.
You just said that Ms. Shin Hye-yeong's
statement is consistent and detailed.
But now you're saying
she can't tell the difference between
normal and improper relationships.
She is able to write credible statements
but doesn't have decision-making
capabilities about sex.
Isn't that too vague of a diagnosis?
What exactly is Ms. Shin's condition?
I'm…
Talking about the ability
to protect oneself.
Anyone can experience what they thought
was a loving relationship
actually turn out to be fraud,
deception, and violence.
But most people can protect themselves
even if they go through such a thing.
And they try not to repeat
the same mistake.
But it's different if you have
a disability like Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
Even if she has the ability to make
credible statements about the situation,
the power to protect herself
from the defendant's
malicious intent is lacking.
I don't think my diagnosis
is contradictory.
Do you have something to say?
Yes.
But…
Hye-yeong!
Shin Hye-yeong!
Well…
I'm by myself when I go to the BA.
What are you doing by yourself?
Gosh.
"BA"?
Young-woo.
I just heard from the prosecutor
that Yang Jeong-il has done this before.
What?
He was investigated by the police
for dating another person
with an intellectual disability
at a different organization.
Really?
But there wasn't anything
on his criminal record.
It wasn't
a sexual assault charge back then.
The problem was that he spent
a lot of money using her credit card.
Yang Jeong-il paid her back
and settled with the victim,
which is why the police
closed the investigation.
When was this?
Not that long ago. It was last year.
Well…
I have to go meet Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
Is this true?
Well, Young-woo…
Defendant.
Stop calling Attorney Woo by her name.
It's uncomfortable to hear.
Attorney Woo…
You said you were truly in love
with Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
You said it was love at first sight
and that you didn't expect that to happen.
Yes, those words are all true.
You're not just going around
volunteering at organizations
for people with intellectual disabilities,
looking for someone easy to fool?
Is what happened last year
even your first time?
How many victims
were there before Ms. Shin?
What do you mean by that?
How could you say something like that?
I'm really not a bad person!
There's no reason for me
to continue defending you
if you and Ms. Shin
don't truly love each other.
I am withdrawing.
What? Attorney Woo.
Attorney Choi.
I agree with Attorney Woo.
Hye-yeong and I
really do love each other!
But true love
doesn't have to be your first love.
I'm begging you.
Please?
Please believe me.
Are you really going to withdraw
from Mr. Yang Jeong-il's case?
Yes, I'm going to
talk to Attorney Jung tomorrow
and submit my withdrawal.
I see.
Have you heard of the saying
that lovers who walk
the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway together
will break up?
No. Is that a saying?
Yes. In the past, the Seoul Family Court
and the Supreme Court
were at the north end
of the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.
This saying originated from having to
walk down this walkway to get a divorce.
Wait.
Then shouldn't we stop walking now?
What?
You believe in these things?
It has no scientific evidence.
Besides, the Seoul Family Court
moved to Seocho-dong in 1995
and then again to Yangjae-dong in 2012
along with the Seoul Administrative Court…
Jun-ho!
I can't believe I'm running into you
like this again. What a coincidence.
Tell me about it.
Long time no see, Jun-ho.
Gosh, I was curious
about how you were doing.
Right. How have you all been?
What?
Isn't she…
Nanuri?
I told you it's not like that.
It's not?
Then…
I'm on a date right now.
What?
We are on a date.
Walking down Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.
I work with her.
She's Attorney Woo Young-woo.
Say hi, guys.
Hello, I'm Woo Young-woo.
Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, race car, Woo Young-woo.
I see.
Right.
Hello.

- Excuse me?
According to the chat,
Ms. Shin started going to
a barista academy a few months ago.
She let me know that she's alone
when she goes to the academy.
So…
The academy is on Jongno 3-ga,
and she has class every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, and ends at 9 p.m.
We have to go now.
That's the only way to meet Ms. Shin.
What? Attorney Woo!
Hey, let's meet up for drinks soon.
I'll be in touch.
Attorney Woo!
Wait!
Let's go together!
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong!
COOL BARISTA ACADEMY
Ms. Shin, what was it
that you wanted to say to me?
I love him.
- What?
- What?
Please don't let him go to jail.
Right.
You mean Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
Yes.
Right.
Do you not want him to go to jail?
No.
But you gave a statement
saying that he sexually assaulted you.
- He didn't sexually assault me!
- He didn't sexually assault you?
My mom made me say that.
My mom hates men.
She thinks
they're all gigolo-like bastards.
Well, Mr. Yang Jeong-il…
Does seem like a gigolo-like bastard.
Yes.
What?
You knew that he's a gigolo-like bastard?
Yes.
Yet you still…
love him?
Yes.
Is that not allowed?
Well…
No.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Please don't let FFH go to jail.
Please.
Then can you testify
what you just said at the next trial?
Gigolo-like bastard?
- What?
- What?
You just said
you don't want Mr. Yang to go to jail.
Yes.
We want you to say that in court
directly to the judges.
Right.
But what if my mom says I can't?
You can still testify
even if your mother tells you not to.
You're a 27-year-old adult.
So you can make your own decisions.
As you know,
Mr. Yang is a gigolo-like bastard.
He's a bad guy.
Yes.
But even people with disabilities
have the freedom
to fall in love with a bad guy.
Whether you experienced love
or sexual assault,
it's up to you to make the judgment.
Don't let your mother and the court
decide for you.
I mean, why is everyone so interested
in my salary, deposits, and savings?
There was a guy who asked for my date
and time of birth on the first date
so he could check
our astrological compatibility.
And another guy asked about my dad's job
and talked about him the entire time.
Gosh.
I just want to be in a relationship
with a good guy.
Is that too much to ask for?
I think the guys you're being set up with
all have marriage on their minds.
Why don't you try clubbing
instead of going on blind dates?
I don't want to go clubbing.
Clubs are only
for one-night stands and stuff.
Hey, what's wrong with one-night stands?
You only live once.
Go out and enjoy yourself.
Forget it, I'm here. I have to go.
Hello.
Take a seat right there.
Well…
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Min-sickly prickly.
Sickly prickly.
Right.
Hello.
I'm Choi Su-yeon.
I see.
You said you live nearby, right?
I made a reservation here
because it was close.
I live in Bundang. I work nearby.
I see. Okay.
Well…
There must be some
really great bread where you live.
- What?
- "Bun, dang."
Bun…
Right.
Bun, dang?
Bundang.
Well…
Should we look at the menu?
Yes, sure.
Gosh, they have a salad
with oranges in it.
Orange you glad you came out tonight?
I'll go with
the gorgonzola cheese pizza,
hoping it'll be "grate."
How do you feel about
having banana cake for dessert?
If you eat bananas,
will you find me "a-peeling"?
Right.
Gosh.
I heard you cook
and here you are making food jokes.
Was I?
It must come with the job.
I didn't even realize.
Eat your noodles, not your strudel.
Don't doodle on your noodles.
Take it.
No, it's all right. I can call back later.
No, please take it right now.
Shall I?
Hello?
Hairy Boss, I want suyuk.
How do you make it?
What are you talking about?
Hang up! I'm busy!
No, I'm not busy.
Hold on. It's bay leaves and what else?
Gochujang?
Why would you put gochujang in suyuk?
I'm sorry. It's my employee.
What? The house is on fire?
I'll be there. I'll take care of it!
I'm sorry, there's a fire at my house.
I think I should go.
I know you made time to see me.
I'm really sorry.
Why would you go when there's a fire?
Oh, I got it. It's ssamjang!
Is it not?
Hairy Boss, are you listening to me?
Yes.
I think I've just been ditched.
What? Already?
What on earth did you do
to get ditched right away?
Did you fart?
I don't know.
Why was I ditched? It's not like
we were having dinner in a ditch.
What the…
Hello?
- Hey, get ready. Let's go clubbing.
- What?
You said we only live once.
Let's go out and enjoy ourselves!
Let's get wild tonight!
So what kind of guy do you want?
Tell us. What do you mean by "good guy"?
I mean, it's not like
I'm asking for a lot.
He should be tall enough.
Okay.
He should have broad shoulders.
Shoulders are important.
He should have a nice smile, and…
Him?
Hey, he's been eyeing you for a while now.
Me?
Me?
- What?
- Hey, he's coming. Let's go.
Hey!
The music's good today, right?
Right.
The music.
Yes.
Thank you for not abandoning me
and staying on as my attorney.
What?
It's not for your sake.
It's for Ms. Shin's sake.
You should thank her, not us.
You smell like alcohol.
And you're wearing
the same outfit as yesterday.
Be quiet.
- How was the blind date?
- It didn't work out.
All rise.
You may be seated.
Defendant.
I see you requested the victim,
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong, as your witness.
Yes, Ms. Shin expressed her wish
to testify in court through our attorney.
Your Honor. Please consider that
given this is a case of sexual assault,
it would be difficult for the victim
to remain calm in front of the defendant.
I request for the defendant
to be removed from the courtroom
so the victim can properly testify.
I agree.
Defendant, you'll be removed from
the courtroom during witness questioning.
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
Come forward.
"I solemnly swear
that I will tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
and agree to receive punishment
in accordance with perjury
should there be any falsehood."
Counselor, you may begin
questioning the witness.
Do you want Mr. Yang to be punished
for sexually assaulting you?
- Yes.
- What?
You want Mr. Yang to go to jail?
No, I don't.
Why not?
Because I love him.
Witness, are you saying
that you love Mr. Yang Jeong-il?
Yes.
FFY and FFH
are in love with each other.
So was the sexual intercourse that you
and the defendant had on March 12th
consensual intercourse
that happened because you love each other?
Yes.
So you're saying it wasn't sexual assault?
Yes.
Then during the police investigation,
why did you testify that Mr. Yang Jeong-il
sexually assaulted you?
Well…
I don't know.
Did your mother
perhaps tell you to say that?
Objection. Leading.
Overruled.
Counselor, go on with the questioning.
Did your mother tell you to testify
that you were sexually assaulted?
I just…
Please don't let FFH go to jail.
That is all.
Prosecution, you may begin
cross-examination.
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
You said you love
Mr. Yang Jeong-il, right?
Yes.
What is love?
Can you define it?
Well…
Define it?
Well…
Love…
Objection!
What kind of question is that?
It's hard for anyone to answer
such an abstract and vague question.
Okay, then I'll be more specific.
Ms. Shin, do you know
what sexual intercourse is?
Yes.
Do you know what sexual assault is?
Yes.
Then what is the difference
between the two?
How are sexual intercourse
and sexual assault different?
Well…
Well…
An adult…
An adult…
Well…
Ms. Shin, let me ask a different question.
Can you open your eyes?
On March 12th,
after leaving the motel
you were at with Mr. Yang Jeong-il,
you went straight home, correct?
Yes.
After that, you went straight
into your room
and scratched the back of your left hand
with your right hand so hard
that you hurt yourself.
Is this correct?
Yes.
This is a picture of Ms. Shin's hand
taken that day.
Why did you do this?
Well…
That's because…
That's because...
Weren't you extremely stressed from
the defendant's one-sided sexual advances?
Objection!
The fact that
you didn't stop harming yourself
until your mother found you
and took you to the hospital
shows how taxing the mental aftereffects
of the defendant's sexual assault was.
Objection!
Scratching the back of her hand
is merely a habit that she has.
It's speculative of the prosecution to say
that it's because of the intercourse
she had with the defendant.
Is the prosecution
asking the witness questions
or forcing her own speculations?
Mom, I don't want to do this.
Mom…
Hye-yeong.
Are you okay?
Come here.
It's okay.
Hey!
You have autism?
What?
So do you think you know
how every person with disabilities feels?
To spew some bullshit about
having the freedom to love a bad guy?
Ma'am, calm down and if you have
something to say, you can talk to me...
You know what?
I have to protect my daughter
from this messed-up world.
I have to protect my child
from the evil bastards
who try to take advantage of her
in every way possible
the second they think
she's innocent and soft!
You don't even know how I feel, but what?
A disabled person's right to love?
Who are you to talk
about autism and disability?
Is my child's disability
the same as yours?
Please take your ridiculous attempt
at empathizing elsewhere.
It's disgusting. Do you understand?
"It's disgusting. Do you understand?"
Hey, Jun-ho.
I want to meet the girl you're seeing.
Why won't you call her over?
I'm the only one who hasn't seen her.
All right, I'll invite her next time.
Are you really sure about this?
Even if she's an attorney,
you should think this one through.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, forget about us.
But can you really tell your parents
that you're dating someone like her?
What do you mean by "someone like her"?
Why are you saying it like that?
I mean…
Honestly, it's…
You know.
It's what?
- It's what? Tell me.
- Well, it's just something.
Come on, what's just something?
You know,
Jun-ho has always been nice.
It's because he's nice.
Hey, I'm going to get going.
I don't get what any of you are saying.
- No.
- Come on, sit.
- Let go.
- Okay.
I've been in that kind of
relationship before.
I've done it
and that's not love.
- What?
- Dating a pitiful girl you want to help.
That's not love.
That's…
Sympathy.
Hey, stop it.
Right. Hey, are you drunk?
He's drunk. Let's make a...
"A pitiful girl you want to help"?
Who's so pitiful?
Come on, who's so pitiful?
Hey!
- Stop it.
- Let go!
You bastard.
- I'm just looking out for you.
- Hey, come here. What did you say?
- What do you know, you bastard?
- That bastard!
- Hey, come here.
- Hey, let go.
- Let go of me. Hey, come here.
- Let go.
- Hey, let go.
- Say that again!
The alcohol tastes sweet today.
It really does.
- Attorney Kim.
- Yes?
Didn't you go to university
with Attorney Tae Su-mi from Taesan?
Tae Su-mi?
Yes, I went to the same school as her.
Right?
I heard a preposterous rumor about her.
- Preposterous rumor?
- Yes.
I heard that Attorney Tae
has another child.
Oh, that.
Goodness.
That she has another child?
My goodness.
You know about this?
That's just gossip.
Gosh.
During university, Tae Su-mi took a break
from school out of nowhere,
saying she was going to study abroad.
- I see.
- Her family is well-off
so it wasn't a big deal
when or where she went.
But something didn't add up.
It's not like she graduated
or passed the bar.
But she just suddenly
went to study abroad.
Right.
People started speculating
all sorts of things
and that's how that rumor came about.
People and their imaginations.
Have a child? My goodness.
Attorney Kim, do you perhaps…
Remember what year it was
when she took a break from school?
Let's see.
Well…
I was 24 and it was before
I went to the army, so…
It might be 1996.
Then that's about…
Twenty-six years ago, right?
Gosh, 1996 was 26 years ago?
Yes.
Jeez, time really flies.
If I ended up with Yeong-suk back then
and had a kid,
they would be around 27 years old, right?
Right.
Most of the female rookies who joined
the firm this year are around that age.
Really?
Goodness.
First, I will announce the jury's review.
On the charges.
Three of the seven jurors
found the defendant guilty,
four found the defendant not guilty.
Therefore, not guilty.
- This is absurd!
- That's unbelievable!
- Not guilty?
- No way!
This doesn't make sense.
- Not guilty?
- This is absurd!
Quiet down.
This court
sincerely respects
the jury's opinions.
Now, for the verdict.
Stand up.
Okay.
Formal adjudication.
The defendant…
Is sentenced to two years imprisonment.
The defendant is ordered to complete
a 40-hour sex offender treatment program.
-The defendant's information
-Young-woo.
Will be notified and disclosed through
the information network for five years.
Am I…
The defendant
- Am I going to jail?
- Is restricted from employment
- Yes.
- For five years at institutions
and welfare facilities
related to people with disabilities.
Grounds of judgment are as follows.
The crime, in this case, is due to
the defendant engaging in indecent acts
-with the victim, who is unable
-Hye-yeong.
To defend herself against sexual assault
due to her intellectual disability.
-Thus, the nature of the crime is bad,
-Hye-yeong.
And is highly likely to be criticized.
-He also seems to have
-Hye-yeong, why are you crying?
Intentionally joined organizations
for people with autism and intellectual
- and developmental disabilities.
- Why are you crying? He's being punished.
Furthermore, after the crime,
-the victim's intellectual disability
-Hye-yeong.
And anxiety seems to have become severe,
and due to the crime,
the victim appears to have suffered
considerable physical and mental trauma.
It's House 607 at the end over there.
That's where Attorney Kwon and I live.
I see.
So…
Min-woo said
he'll be coming home late today.
Do you want to come in for a second?
No, I'm tired so I would like to go home.
Right.
Then let's head out together.
I'll walk you home.
What?
That means
there was no point in me walking you home.
The route is inefficient too.
Dates are like that.
No meaning, no efficiency.
Foolish.
If you have a disability,
I think merely liking someone
is not enough.
Because even if I say it's love,
if other people say it's not,
then it's not.
Are you talking about the case today?
I'm not sure
if I'm talking about the case
or myself.
Even if other people say it's not,
if you say it's love,
it's love.
Loving me…
Is hard.
Yes.
It appears so.
But are you still going to?
Yes.
Do your teeth
usually knock against each other
when kissing?
No?
Then what am I supposed to…
Well…
I think…
It would be better
if you open up your mouth a bit more.
And it would be better…
If you closed your eyes a bit more.
Right.
I'm sorry. We're closed for…
Can I come in?
How could you come here?
What if Young-woo sees you?
Taesan has an overseas office in Boston.
Go with Young-woo.
Young-woo is working at Hanbada.
Who are you to tell her where to go
when she's not even working at Taesan?
Gwang-ho.
Did you plan this with Han Seon-young?
Did you two plan
to get Young-woo employed at Hanbada
so you can take me down?
The world doesn't revolve around you.
What plan?
Hanbada gave her the job
because Young-woo is outstanding.
Yes.
Young-woo is outstanding.
Which is why I'm making the offer.
This is a great opportunity for her
to grow as an international attorney.
Convince her.
I'll provide everything
so she can focus solely on her work
when she's in the States.
Are you not trying to send her
as far away from you as possible
because she could get in the way
of you becoming the Minister of Justice?
Does Young-woo
have a doctor or a counselor?
- What?
- She has autism.
Do you have a professional
who takes exclusive care of her?
I gave Young-woo
every treatment she needed.
And she's doing well without all that.
Is that so?
Are you sure it's not that
you can't do enough for her?
It's not too late
to do what's best for her.
Awareness and treatment for autism
are much more advanced
in the States than in Korea.
Do you have any idea
how many communities there are
for people with autism just in Boston?
There will be a lot of
doctors and counselors
who specialize in autism too.
But here, Young-woo's all alone.
Are you going to take responsibility
for her life and help her forever?
Young-woo is my daughter.
Who are you to interfere
and tell me what to do now?
You've been living selfishly
without showing up once all this time.
And now, what?
You've got some nerve.
You're one to talk.
Did you forget about our promise?
You said you'd disappear forever
if I gave birth to Young-woo.
Why did you break that promise
and show up again?
Are you trying to get revenge on me
by using Young-woo?
Or is it money?
Are you trying to get money from me?
Hey!
Get out.
Get out!
Recently, two other people and I
pooled our money
and bought lottery tickets.
And we promised
to split it evenly if any of us won.
I really need the 1.4 billion won.
If you get a divorce, does the prize money
have to be divided as well?
This is the first time
I've constantly thought of someone,
so it's quite strange.
Subtitle translation by: Hyun-soo Cho
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
Hey!
Stop right there!
Hey!
Let go!
You're going to hurt yourself. Hold still!
What's your problem?
I didn't do anything wrong!
Then why did you run away?
You ran because you know what you did.
Damn it! Do you have a warrant?
Tell me. Do you have a warrant?
You want to see a warrant?
I guess you watched a few cop shows.
Stop it already.
You can talk at the station.
It's an illegal arrest
if you don't have an arrest warrant.
Illegal arrest? You don't know
what you're talking about.
This is an emergency arrest.
This is a necessary capture
of a fugitive suspect.
We don't need a warrant
for these situations. Got it?
Even if it is an emergency arrest,
Article 200-5 of the Criminal
Procedure Act still applies.
"When arresting a suspect,
the prosecutor or judicial police officer
shall notify the suspect of the facts
of the suspected crime,
the reason for arrest,
their right to an attorney,
and give an opportunity
to justify oneself."
This is also called the Miranda Rights.
Are you not aware of this?
So I've just been illegally arrested?
The police illegally arrested a citizen!
You're filming all this right?
Post it on all your social media accounts.
Hey, why are you interrupting
official police duties?
Are you an attorney or something?
- Yes.
- What?
I'm Woo Young-woo,
an attorney at Hanbada Law Firm.
Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, race car, Woo Young-woo.
- Detective Park, uncuff him.
- What?
Uncuff him!
Okay.
Now, Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
At this point,
you are under emergency arrest.
You have the right to remain silent
and to appoint an attorney.
You have the right to request the court
to review the legality of the arrest too.
- Would that be all?
- No.
You didn't inform him
of the charges for his arrest.
Quasi-rape of a person with disabilities.
- What?
- Are you serious?
- Goodness.
- What a piece of trash.
This piece-of-trash bastard
sexually assaulted a woman
with an intellectual disability!
Now, are we good here?
CASE 10
HOLDING HANDS CAN WAIT
What?
You really came.
Thank you so much.
You have no idea
how much I begged my parents
to get me the Kayak Deed attorney.
You're a total celebrity!
You were in the newspaper too.
The first autistic attorney
of the Republic of Korea, Kayak Deed!
My name is Woo Young-woo.
Of course, I know.
But for some reason,
I want to call you Attorney Kayak Deed.
Can I?
No. Call me Attorney Woo Young-woo.
Okay, Young-woo.
Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
You're charged with quasi-rape
of a person with disabilities.
Do you have any idea
how severe the punishment for that is?
The statutory penalty of typical rape
is three or more years of imprisonment,
but the rape of a person with disabilities
is a life sentence or a minimum
of seven years of imprisonment.
This isn't the time to talk about
stuff like "kayak" and "deed."
Do you not realize
how bad the situation is?
I really didn't do anything bad like that.
Yes, I had an HN with FFY, but rape?
Doesn't that involve hitting and swearing
and forcing yourself on that person?
"FFY"?
"HN"?
Right.
It's my pet name for Hye-yeong.
"FFY."
"Fool For Yang Jeong-il"
And "HN" means, well…
You know.
"Hot Night."
Even if it is a pet name,
why would you choose the word "fool"
for someone
who is intellectually disabled?
She calls me a fool too.
"FFH."
"Fool For Hye-yeong"
What?
If you want the two to match,
shouldn't it be "FFS"?
The victim's name is Shin Hye-yeong.
Or change what you call her to "FFJ"...
Attorney Woo.
Is that really important right now?
No.
Hye-yeong and I
love each other.
Assailant and victim?
It's really nothing like that.
We understand that you didn't use
violence or threaten her
in order to engage
in sexual intercourse with her.
That's what Ms. Shin also said
during the police investigation.
But a sex offense can be established
even if there was no force involved.
The typical charge being quasi-rape.
And this case,
the Act on Special Cases Concerning
the Punishment of Sexual Crimes...
Right! PSC!
I know what that is!
The prosecutor always mentioned it.
Paragraph 4 of Article 6 states,
"A person who has sexual intercourse
with another person by taking advantage
of a person's inability to resist
or difficulty in resisting
due to physical or mental disability
can be punished."
So the prosecution believes
that you took advantage
of Ms. Shin's intellectual disability.
I didn't take advantage of anything!
I'm really not that kind of person!
You got Ms. Shin Hye-yeong to get
a credit card issued under her name
and had her pay the date expenses
that cost millions of won all by herself.
- Is that not taking advantage?
- Listen.
Gosh.
Hye-yeong is well-off.
So she paid for the dates
with her younger boyfriend.
Is that a crime?
Why did you join Eoulrim
when you don't even have a disability?
The group introduces itself as
"A gathering of people
with intellectual disabilities,
developmental disabilities, and autism."
That was for a good cause.
Groups like that usually need volunteers.
I was a member of Eoulrim
and I met Hye-yeong.
And it was love at first sight.
Why doesn't anybody believe me?
Is it because Hye-yeong is disabled?
A person without disabilities truly loving
a person with an intellectual disability.
Is it that hard to believe?
Who said that? We...
People with disabilities
are kind and innocent.
They're people
who fully deserve to be loved.
Attorney Kayak Deed would know.
Right?
Where did you pick up
such a troublesome case like this?
I picked it up on subway line two.
I can already picture
what must have happened.
You showed off by talking about
illegal arrests and warrants, didn't you?
You did.
This is why they say
nothing good comes from
letting people know you're an attorney.
Okay. From now on, I will try not to
let other people know I'm an attorney.
Sexual assault
usually happens in private, right?
So more often than not, the only evidence
is the victim's statement.
In that situation, what should be done
to defend the defendant?
Discredit the victim's statement.
But the victim is a person
with an intellectual disability.
Then, of course,
the victim's statement is more likely
to be neither specific nor consistent.
But despite knowing these circumstances,
you still have to discredit
the credibility of the victim's statement.
This is quite an unpleasant thing
to do as an attorney.
What if we get off this case now?
They can save on commission fees
if they go to a smaller law firm than us.
That sounds like a better option
for Mr. Yang's parents too.
I don't think that's a bad idea.
What about you, Attorney Woo?
I…
I want to defend Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
Why?
What he's saying could be true.
You believe all that nonsense?
I want to…
Believe it.
I want it to be true that he and Ms. Shin
are really in love.
If you want to believe
the defendant that bad,
then you should take it.
Proceed with the case.
Okay.
Attorney Choi, you too.
Excuse me?
You know it's easy to get emotional
when you want to believe the defendant.
Join Attorney Woo and "whoa, whoa" her
so she doesn't make that mistake.
"Whoa, whoa"?
Whoa. Please.
That's awesome.
Give me the details of the situation.
Including the air, sunlight, clouds, speed
of the wind, temperature, and humidity.
So…
I like you.
I like you so much
that it feels like…
I'm sick inside.
He's sick because he likes you!
Call the doctor! Call the ambulance!
Hello? Is this 911?
What? You're not just 911
but the 911 of love?
All right.
The problem is after that.
After liking each other.
What do I do now?
How did you respond to him
after he said he likes you?
Well…
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, race car, Yeoksam Station.
Yeoksam Station.
Attorney Woo!
So you ran away
after he expressed his feelings to you?
This punk dined and dashed.
Dined and dashed on love.
At the time, my mind turned blank.
So I just wanted to get away
from the situation.
I was rude, right?
Well, I wouldn't say you were rude...
More like weird.
Forget about it. Just do something
before it gets even worse.
What do I do?
You date Jun-ho.
Hey, how can you date someone right away
just because they said they like you?
You have to get to know each other first
by going on a few dates.
How do you do that?
Going on dates?
There's not much to it.
Get food, have tea,
watch movies, and sing karaoke.
Do things you think
would be fun to do together.
There's a lot to do if you look into it.
Look at you.
Hairy Boss, you know a lot of things
when you don't even have a girlfriend.
Do you go on imaginary dates?
I'm going to live aggressively
from now on.
If you know someone nice,
introduce me to him.
Because I'm going to win him over.
You're going to aggressively
win someone over?
I can think of someone.
He knows a lot about being nice.
He pulls out seats, opens car doors,
makes the person walk on the inside
of the street when walking together,
and carries their things.
Really?
Can I introduce you to a girlfriend?
- What?
- Hey, what about me?
Introduce me to someone too.
She's like an angel
in the spring sunshine who recently said
she's going to
aggressively win a good guy over.
Aggressive, win over, good guy,
spring sunshine, angel?
Gosh, she sounds amazing.
Hey, what about me?
What about me?
You…
Hey.
So when will this be happening?
I have to go on a diet.
Me, first.
Well…
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT
That is all.
Counselor.
Give your opening statement.
Excuse me.
Can Attorney Kayak Deed defend me?
What?
Everyone here
is glaring at us.
I don't think they will be able to
once they know you're my attorney.
- What?
- Yes. The defendant has a point.
Attorney Woo,
you give the opening statement.
So that it doesn't look like a trial
between the disabled and non-disabled.
Are you not giving your statement?
I'm sorry. We'll get started right away.
Remember what you said
during your first trial?
To excuse you because you have autism.
Begin with that.
I have autism spectrum disorder.
Right.
So please excuse me if my speech seems
inarticulate and my actions awkward.
JURY
The defendant denies
all charges in this case.
The defendant, Mr. Yang,
and the victim, Ms. Shin,
are in a loving relationship
and engaged in consensual intercourse.
- What?
- Lies!
- Consensual?
- You call that love?
- What are you saying?
- What nonsense is that?
Goodness.
Silence in the court!
Do you not know courtroom etiquette?
Mr. Yang Jeong-il and Ms. Shin Hye-yeong
used an app called Alkongdalkong,
which was developed for couples.
On March 13th, the two
chatted on Alkongdalkong
and had the following conversation.
"FFH" is the defendant's pet name,
which means "Fool For Shin Hye-yeong,"
and "FFY" is the victim's pet name,
which means "Fool For Yang Jeong-il."
It's unfortunate that they did not match
the two by either last name or first name.
Anyway,
please look closely at their conversation.
FFH: FFY, DID YOU SLEEP WELL?
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE CK AND CFDT?
"Go to the CK and CFDT?"
"CK" means "Coin Karaoke."
"CFDT" means "Chicken For Dinner Tonight?"
Both are abbreviations.
"HN" is an abbreviation of "Hot Night,"
referring to sexual intercourse.
What about "Shine, shine"?
"Shine, shine"?
- What?
- Right.
Are you referring to the "Shiii shiii"
that comes after
"I don't know, I don't know"?
Right.
That's "Shiii, shiii"?
Yes, I think it's a modification
of the word "shy."
Similar modifications would be "When
will you be dun?" and "I miss ya."
Those I understand.
You don't have to explain.
Based on Ms. Shin's written statement,
the prosecution claims
on March 12th,
the day before these chat messages,
Mr. Yang Jeong-il sexually assaulted
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
But does this chat
that starts with "Did you sleep well?"
And ends with "I miss ya"
seem like a conversation
between a sexual assault victim
and the assailant?
Isn't it fair to see this
as a loving chat between a couple
who are deeply in love?
You have to read between the lines!
Calling each other by pet names
and saying "I miss you" doesn't mean love.
That gigolo-like bastard seduced Hye-yeong
then took her to karaoke and ate chicken!
He even took her to motels!
He was just enjoying himself!
What's going on today?
If you keep speaking up
without permission,
you'll be removed from the courtroom.
Your Honor, she is the victim's mother.
It was wrong of her to speak
without your permission, but…
That's how that bastard
played my daughter.
It's all up there, but what?
A loving chat?
How can you call yourself an attorney
when you can't even tell the difference?
Ma'am!
I said be quiet!
Sit down.
Attorney Woo?
Yes. You told me last time
that you have some information about her.
Right. It's nothing.
Come on. What is it?
Your face is saying otherwise.
Well…
Someone wrote a post
on Hanbada's bulletin board
saying that the CEO went to university
with Attorney Woo's father,
so she gave her a job at Hanbada.
That's it?
What? Yes.
There's nothing about Tae Su-mi?
Tae Su-mi?
Apparently, Attorney Woo
is Tae Su-mi's daughter.
What?
What?
According to who?
Do you still…
like me?
Yes, I do.
And I was hurt
when you just left like that last time.
Right.
About that…
I'm sorry.
If you still like me,
what if we get to know each other better
before becoming an official couple?
Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
I researched things to do on dates
and made a list.
THINGS TO DO ON DATES
Goodness.
There's a lot.
- Yes.
- Well…
Is taking you home not on here?
What?
It isn't.
Really?
Should I add it?
I'll take you home today.
Right.
Add…
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Then I'm assuming…
Holding hands while taking you home
isn't on the list, right?
No. Even if it was on there,
holding hands is not easy for me.
My father often
wanted to hold my hand too,
but I could only bear it
for a maximum of 57 seconds.
Really?
What happens if you hold hands
for over 57 seconds?
I want to let go to the point
where it becomes unbearable if I don't.
Right, I see.
Do you want to hold hands
even if it is only for 57 seconds?
Are you sure?
I can't do it.
Right.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
No, it's all right.
I'll just take you home today then.
Holding hands can wait.
"Holding hands can wait."
What is the exact degree
of the victim's intellectual disability?
Well…
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong has a mild
intellectual disability with an IQ of 65.
Through training, she is able to have
a social life and a job.
She has the developmental age
of a 13-year-old, so a 6th grader.
This is the victim's statement
that was written
during the police investigation process.
Have you seen this?
As a psychiatrist,
how do you feel about this statement?
Overall, I feel that it has credibility.
The descriptions of the circumstances
at the time of the assault are in detail
and her thoughts and emotions
are also expressed consistently.
The victim's thoughts and emotions?
Like what?
"When the sex began,
I started to feel bad."
"I was scared."
"I didn't like it because I thought
I would get in trouble with Mom."
She's expressing herself clearly.
Then why wasn't the victim
able to resist the defendant's actions?
The reason is written in the statement
without me having to speculate.
"I said no and he got upset.
He was about to cry."
"He said it wasn't true love."
People with intellectual disabilities
are especially vulnerable to violence
that takes advantage of relationships
or disguised as affection.
The victim seems to have been afraid
that she might lose this relationship
if she denied the unwanted sex.
And it's highly likely that she didn't
know how to refuse in the first place.
Yes, that is all.
Counselor, begin cross-examination.
Witness.
Have you seen the chats between
the defendant and Ms. Shin?
No, I haven't.
According to the prosecution's claim,
the defendant
raped Ms. Shin on March 12th.
That day,
Ms. Shin said the following
to the defendant on chat.
Could you read the underlined sentences?
"I love you. I miss ya."
"I've been waiting for you to text me
for a while now."
"Let's always be together."
Such affectionate expressions
are not only seen
on the chat on March 12th.
The chat between the two
is full of Ms. Shin's expressions
of love for the defendant
until the day he was arrested
and was no longer able to chat.
What do you think about this?
I think it's awfully…
Heartbreaking.
Excuse me?
We all want to love and be loved.
It's the same for people
with intellectual disabilities too.
Rather, the desire is even greater.
Because in most cases,
it's harder for them to get the attention
or affection they want from others.
Can't you tell from Ms. Shin Hye-yeong's
earnest expressions of love here?
The problem is that, with people
who have intellectual disabilities,
there are many situations
where they misunderstand
an impure motive toward them
as pure affection.
Their ability to distinguish
between normal and improper relationships
is sometimes lacking as well.
In that sense, it's hard to say
that Ms. Shin Hye-yeong
has sound decision-making capabilities
when it comes to sex.
You just said that Ms. Shin Hye-yeong's
statement is consistent and detailed.
But now you're saying
she can't tell the difference between
normal and improper relationships.
She is able to write credible statements
but doesn't have decision-making
capabilities about sex.
Isn't that too vague of a diagnosis?
What exactly is Ms. Shin's condition?
I'm…
Talking about the ability
to protect oneself.
Anyone can experience what they thought
was a loving relationship
actually turn out to be fraud,
deception, and violence.
But most people can protect themselves
even if they go through such a thing.
And they try not to repeat
the same mistake.
But it's different if you have
a disability like Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
Even if she has the ability to make
credible statements about the situation,
the power to protect herself
from the defendant's
malicious intent is lacking.
I don't think my diagnosis
is contradictory.
Do you have something to say?
Yes.
But…
Hye-yeong!
Shin Hye-yeong!
Well…
I'm by myself when I go to the BA.
What are you doing by yourself?
Gosh.
"BA"?
Young-woo.
I just heard from the prosecutor
that Yang Jeong-il has done this before.
What?
He was investigated by the police
for dating another person
with an intellectual disability
at a different organization.
Really?
But there wasn't anything
on his criminal record.
It wasn't
a sexual assault charge back then.
The problem was that he spent
a lot of money using her credit card.
Yang Jeong-il paid her back
and settled with the victim,
which is why the police
closed the investigation.
When was this?
Not that long ago. It was last year.
Well…
I have to go meet Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
Is this true?
Well, Young-woo…
Defendant.
Stop calling Attorney Woo by her name.
It's uncomfortable to hear.
Attorney Woo…
You said you were truly in love
with Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
You said it was love at first sight
and that you didn't expect that to happen.
Yes, those words are all true.
You're not just going around
volunteering at organizations
for people with intellectual disabilities,
looking for someone easy to fool?
Is what happened last year
even your first time?
How many victims
were there before Ms. Shin?
What do you mean by that?
How could you say something like that?
I'm really not a bad person!
There's no reason for me
to continue defending you
if you and Ms. Shin
don't truly love each other.
I am withdrawing.
What? Attorney Woo.
Attorney Choi.
I agree with Attorney Woo.
Hye-yeong and I
really do love each other!
But true love
doesn't have to be your first love.
I'm begging you.
Please?
Please believe me.
Are you really going to withdraw
from Mr. Yang Jeong-il's case?
Yes, I'm going to
talk to Attorney Jung tomorrow
and submit my withdrawal.
I see.
Have you heard of the saying
that lovers who walk
the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway together
will break up?
No. Is that a saying?
Yes. In the past, the Seoul Family Court
and the Supreme Court
were at the north end
of the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.
This saying originated from having to
walk down this walkway to get a divorce.
Wait.
Then shouldn't we stop walking now?
What?
You believe in these things?
It has no scientific evidence.
Besides, the Seoul Family Court
moved to Seocho-dong in 1995
and then again to Yangjae-dong in 2012
along with the Seoul Administrative Court…
Jun-ho!
I can't believe I'm running into you
like this again. What a coincidence.
Tell me about it.
Long time no see, Jun-ho.
Gosh, I was curious
about how you were doing.
Right. How have you all been?
What?
Isn't she…
Nanuri?
I told you it's not like that.
It's not?
Then…
I'm on a date right now.
What?
We are on a date.
Walking down Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.
I work with her.
She's Attorney Woo Young-woo.
Say hi, guys.
Hello, I'm Woo Young-woo.
Whether it's read straight or flipped,
it's still Woo Young-woo.
Kayak, deed, rotator,
noon, race car, Woo Young-woo.
I see.
Right.
Hello.

According to the chat,
Ms. Shin started going to
a barista academy a few months ago.
She let me know that she's alone
when she goes to the academy.
So…
The academy is on Jongno 3-ga,
and she has class every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, and ends at 9 p.m.
We have to go now.
That's the only way to meet Ms. Shin.
What? Attorney Woo!
Hey, let's meet up for drinks soon.
I'll be in touch.
Attorney Woo!
Wait!
Let's go together!
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong!
COOL BARISTA ACADEMY
Ms. Shin, what was it
that you wanted to say to me?
I love him.
- What?
- What?
Please don't let him go to jail.
Right.
You mean Mr. Yang Jeong-il.
Yes.
Right.
Do you not want him to go to jail?
No.
But you gave a statement
saying that he sexually assaulted you.
- He didn't sexually assault me!
- He didn't sexually assault you?
My mom made me say that.
My mom hates men.
She thinks
they're all gigolo-like bastards.
Well, Mr. Yang Jeong-il…
Does seem like a gigolo-like bastard.
Yes.
What?
You knew that he's a gigolo-like bastard?
Yes.
Yet you still…
love him?
Yes.
Is that not allowed?
Well…
No.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Please don't let FFH go to jail.
Please.
Then can you testify
what you just said at the next trial?
Gigolo-like bastard?
- What?
- What?
You just said
you don't want Mr. Yang to go to jail.
Yes.
We want you to say that in court
directly to the judges.
Right.
But what if my mom says I can't?
You can still testify
even if your mother tells you not to.
You're a 27-year-old adult.
So you can make your own decisions.
As you know,
Mr. Yang is a gigolo-like bastard.
He's a bad guy.
Yes.
But even people with disabilities
have the freedom
to fall in love with a bad guy.
Whether you experienced love
or sexual assault,
it's up to you to make the judgment.
Don't let your mother and the court
decide for you.
I mean, why is everyone so interested
in my salary, deposits, and savings?
There was a guy who asked for my date
and time of birth on the first date
so he could check
our astrological compatibility.
And another guy asked about my dad's job
and talked about him the entire time.
Gosh.
I just want to be in a relationship
with a good guy.
Is that too much to ask for?
I think the guys you're being set up with
all have marriage on their minds.
Why don't you try clubbing
instead of going on blind dates?
I don't want to go clubbing.
Clubs are only
for one-night stands and stuff.
Hey, what's wrong with one-night stands?
You only live once.
Go out and enjoy yourself.
Forget it, I'm here. I have to go.
Hello.
Take a seat right there.
Well…
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kim Min-sickly prickly.
Sickly prickly.
Right.
Hello.
I'm Choi Su-yeon.
I see.
You said you live nearby, right?
I made a reservation here
because it was close.
I live in Bundang. I work nearby.
I see. Okay.
Well…
There must be some
really great bread where you live.
- What?
- "Bun, dang."
Bun…
Right.
Bun, dang?
Bundang.
Well…
Should we look at the menu?
Yes, sure.
Gosh, they have a salad
with oranges in it.
Orange you glad you came out tonight?
I'll go with
the gorgonzola cheese pizza,
hoping it'll be "grate."
How do you feel about
having banana cake for dessert?
If you eat bananas,
will you find me "a-peeling"?
Right.
Gosh.
I heard you cook
and here you are making food jokes.
Was I?
It must come with the job.
I didn't even realize.
Eat your noodles, not your strudel.
Don't doodle on your noodles.
Take it.
No, it's all right. I can call back later.
No, please take it right now.
Shall I?
Hello?
Hairy Boss, I want suyuk.
How do you make it?
What are you talking about?
Hang up! I'm busy!
No, I'm not busy.
Hold on. It's bay leaves and what else?
Gochujang?
Why would you put gochujang in suyuk?
I'm sorry. It's my employee.
What? The house is on fire?
I'll be there. I'll take care of it!
I'm sorry, there's a fire at my house.
I think I should go.
I know you made time to see me.
I'm really sorry.
Why would you go when there's a fire?
Oh, I got it. It's ssamjang!
Is it not?
Hairy Boss, are you listening to me?
Yes.
I think I've just been ditched.
What? Already?
What on earth did you do
to get ditched right away?
Did you fart?
I don't know.
Why was I ditched? It's not like
we were having dinner in a ditch.
What the…
Hello?
- Hey, get ready. Let's go clubbing.
- What?
You said we only live once.
Let's go out and enjoy ourselves!
Let's get wild tonight!
So what kind of guy do you want?
Tell us. What do you mean by "good guy"?
I mean, it's not like
I'm asking for a lot.
He should be tall enough.
Okay.
He should have broad shoulders.
Shoulders are important.
He should have a nice smile, and…
Him?
Hey, he's been eyeing you for a while now.
Me?
Me?
- What?
- Hey, he's coming. Let's go.
Hey!
The music's good today, right?
Right.
The music.
Yes.
Thank you for not abandoning me
and staying on as my attorney.
What?
It's not for your sake.
It's for Ms. Shin's sake.
You should thank her, not us.
You smell like alcohol.
And you're wearing
the same outfit as yesterday.
Be quiet.
- How was the blind date?
- It didn't work out.
All rise.
You may be seated.
Defendant.
I see you requested the victim,
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong, as your witness.
Yes, Ms. Shin expressed her wish
to testify in court through our attorney.
Your Honor. Please consider that
given this is a case of sexual assault,
it would be difficult for the victim
to remain calm in front of the defendant.
I request for the defendant
to be removed from the courtroom
so the victim can properly testify.
I agree.
Defendant, you'll be removed from
the courtroom during witness questioning.
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
Come forward.
"I solemnly swear
that I will tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
and agree to receive punishment
in accordance with perjury
should there be any falsehood."
Counselor, you may begin
questioning the witness.
Do you want Mr. Yang to be punished
for sexually assaulting you?
- Yes.
- What?
You want Mr. Yang to go to jail?
No, I don't.
Why not?
Because I love him.
Witness, are you saying
that you love Mr. Yang Jeong-il?
Yes.
FFY and FFH
are in love with each other.
So was the sexual intercourse that you
and the defendant had on March 12th
consensual intercourse
that happened because you love each other?
Yes.
So you're saying it wasn't sexual assault?
Yes.
Then during the police investigation,
why did you testify that Mr. Yang Jeong-il
sexually assaulted you?
Well…
I don't know.
Did your mother
perhaps tell you to say that?
Objection. Leading.
Overruled.
Counselor, go on with the questioning.
Did your mother tell you to testify
that you were sexually assaulted?
I just…
Please don't let FFH go to jail.
That is all.
Prosecution, you may begin
cross-examination.
Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.
You said you love
Mr. Yang Jeong-il, right?
Yes.
What is love?
Can you define it?
Well…
Define it?
Well…
Love…
Objection!
What kind of question is that?
It's hard for anyone to answer
such an abstract and vague question.
Okay, then I'll be more specific.
Ms. Shin, do you know
what sexual intercourse is?
Yes.
Do you know what sexual assault is?
Yes.
Then what is the difference
between the two?
How are sexual intercourse
and sexual assault different?
Well…
Well…
An adult…
An adult…
Well…
Ms. Shin, let me ask a different question.
Can you open your eyes?
On March 12th,
after leaving the motel
you were at with Mr. Yang Jeong-il,
you went straight home, correct?
Yes.
After that, you went straight
into your room
and scratched the back of your left hand
with your right hand so hard
that you hurt yourself.
Is this correct?
Yes.
This is a picture of Ms. Shin's hand
taken that day.
Why did you do this?
Well…
That's because…
That's because...
Weren't you extremely stressed from
the defendant's one-sided sexual advances?
Objection!
The fact that
you didn't stop harming yourself
until your mother found you
and took you to the hospital
shows how taxing the mental aftereffects
of the defendant's sexual assault was.
Objection!
Scratching the back of her hand
is merely a habit that she has.
It's speculative of the prosecution to say
that it's because of the intercourse
she had with the defendant.
Is the prosecution
asking the witness questions
or forcing her own speculations?
Mom, I don't want to do this.
Mom…
Hye-yeong.
Are you okay?
Come here.
It's okay.
Hey!
You have autism?
What?
So do you think you know
how every person with disabilities feels?
To spew some bullshit about
having the freedom to love a bad guy?
Ma'am, calm down and if you have
something to say, you can talk to me...
You know what?
I have to protect my daughter
from this messed-up world.
I have to protect my child
from the evil bastards
who try to take advantage of her
in every way possible
the second they think
she's innocent and soft!
You don't even know how I feel, but what?
A disabled person's right to love?
Who are you to talk
about autism and disability?
Is my child's disability
the same as yours?
Please take your ridiculous attempt
at empathizing elsewhere.
It's disgusting. Do you understand?
"It's disgusting. Do you understand?"
Hey, Jun-ho.
I want to meet the girl you're seeing.
Why won't you call her over?
I'm the only one who hasn't seen her.
All right, I'll invite her next time.
Are you really sure about this?
Even if she's an attorney,
you should think this one through.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, forget about us.
But can you really tell your parents
that you're dating someone like her?
What do you mean by "someone like her"?
Why are you saying it like that?
I mean…
Honestly, it's…
You know.
It's what?
- It's what? Tell me.
- Well, it's just something.
Come on, what's just something?
You know,
Jun-ho has always been nice.
It's because he's nice.
Hey, I'm going to get going.
I don't get what any of you are saying.
- No.
- Come on, sit.
- Let go.
- Okay.
I've been in that kind of
relationship before.
I've done it
and that's not love.
- What?
- Dating a pitiful girl you want to help.
That's not love.
That's…
Sympathy.
Hey, stop it.
Right. Hey, are you drunk?
He's drunk. Let's make a...
"A pitiful girl you want to help"?
Who's so pitiful?
Come on, who's so pitiful?
Hey!
- Stop it.
- Let go!
You bastard.
- I'm just looking out for you.
- Hey, come here. What did you say?
- What do you know, you bastard?
- That bastard!
- Hey, come here.
- Hey, let go.
- Let go of me. Hey, come here.
- Let go.
- Hey, let go.
- Say that again!
The alcohol tastes sweet today.
It really does.
- Attorney Kim.
- Yes?
Didn't you go to university
with Attorney Tae Su-mi from Taesan?
Tae Su-mi?
Yes, I went to the same school as her.
Right?
I heard a preposterous rumor about her.
- Preposterous rumor?
- Yes.
I heard that Attorney Tae
has another child.
Oh, that.
Goodness.
That she has another child?
My goodness.
You know about this?
That's just gossip.
Gosh.
During university, Tae Su-mi took a break
from school out of nowhere,
saying she was going to study abroad.
- I see.
- Her family is well-off
so it wasn't a big deal
when or where she went.
But something didn't add up.
It's not like she graduated
or passed the bar.
But she just suddenly
went to study abroad.
Right.
People started speculating
all sorts of things
and that's how that rumor came about.
People and their imaginations.
Have a child? My goodness.
Attorney Kim, do you perhaps…
Remember what year it was
when she took a break from school?
Let's see.
Well…
I was 24 and it was before
I went to the army, so…
It might be 1996.
Then that's about…
Twenty-six years ago, right?
Gosh, 1996 was 26 years ago?
Yes.
Jeez, time really flies.
If I ended up with Yeong-suk back then
and had a kid,
they would be around 27 years old, right?
Right.
Most of the female rookies who joined
the firm this year are around that age.
Really?
Goodness.
First, I will announce the jury's review.
On the charges.
Three of the seven jurors
found the defendant guilty,
four found the defendant not guilty.
Therefore, not guilty.
- This is absurd!
- That's unbelievable!
- Not guilty?
- No way!
This doesn't make sense.
- Not guilty?
- This is absurd!
Quiet down.
This court
sincerely respects
the jury's opinions.
Now, for the verdict.
Stand up.
Okay.
Formal adjudication.
The defendant…
Is sentenced to two years imprisonment.
The defendant is ordered to complete
a 40-hour sex offender treatment program.
-The defendant's information
-Young-woo.
Will be notified and disclosed through
the information network for five years.
Am I…
The defendant
- Am I going to jail?
- Is restricted from employment
- Yes.
- For five years at institutions
and welfare facilities
related to people with disabilities.
Grounds of judgment are as follows.
The crime, in this case, is due to
the defendant engaging in indecent acts
-with the victim, who is unable
-Hye-yeong.
To defend herself against sexual assault
due to her intellectual disability.
-Thus, the nature of the crime is bad,
-Hye-yeong.
And is highly likely to be criticized.
-He also seems to have
-Hye-yeong, why are you crying?
Intentionally joined organizations
for people with autism and intellectual
- and developmental disabilities.
- Why are you crying? He's being punished.
Furthermore, after the crime,
-the victim's intellectual disability
-Hye-yeong.
And anxiety seems to have become severe,
and due to the crime,
the victim appears to have suffered
considerable physical and mental trauma.
It's House 607 at the end over there.
That's where Attorney Kwon and I live.
I see.
So…
Min-woo said
he'll be coming home late today.
Do you want to come in for a second?
No, I'm tired so I would like to go home.
Right.
Then let's head out together.
I'll walk you home.
What?
That means
there was no point in me walking you home.
The route is inefficient too.
Dates are like that.
No meaning, no efficiency.
Foolish.
If you have a disability,
I think merely liking someone
is not enough.
Because even if I say it's love,
if other people say it's not,
then it's not.
Are you talking about the case today?
I'm not sure
if I'm talking about the case
or myself.
Even if other people say it's not,
if you say it's love,
it's love.
Loving me…
Is hard.
Yes.
It appears so.
But are you still going to?
Yes.
Do your teeth
usually knock against each other
when kissing?
No?
Then what am I supposed to…
Well…
I think…
It would be better
if you open up your mouth a bit more.
And it would be better…
If you closed your eyes a bit more.
Right.
I'm sorry. We're closed for…
Can I come in?
How could you come here?
What if Young-woo sees you?
Taesan has an overseas office in Boston.
Go with Young-woo.
Young-woo is working at Hanbada.
Who are you to tell her where to go
when she's not even working at Taesan?
Gwang-ho.
Did you plan this with Han Seon-young?
Did you two plan
to get Young-woo employed at Hanbada
so you can take me down?
The world doesn't revolve around you.
What plan?
Hanbada gave her the job
because Young-woo is outstanding.
Yes.
Young-woo is outstanding.
Which is why I'm making the offer.
This is a great opportunity for her
to grow as an international attorney.
Convince her.
I'll provide everything
so she can focus solely on her work
when she's in the States.
Are you not trying to send her
as far away from you as possible
because she could get in the way
of you becoming the Minister of Justice?
Does Young-woo
have a doctor or a counselor?
- What?
- She has autism.
Do you have a professional
who takes exclusive care of her?
I gave Young-woo
every treatment she needed.
And she's doing well without all that.
Is that so?
Are you sure it's not that
you can't do enough for her?
It's not too late
to do what's best for her.
Awareness and treatment for autism
are much more advanced
in the States than in Korea.
Do you have any idea
how many communities there are
for people with autism just in Boston?
There will be a lot of
doctors and counselors
who specialize in autism too.
But here, Young-woo's all alone.
Are you going to take responsibility
for her life and help her forever?
Young-woo is my daughter.
Who are you to interfere
and tell me what to do now?
You've been living selfishly
without showing up once all this time.
And now, what?
You've got some nerve.
You're one to talk.
Did you forget about our promise?
You said you'd disappear forever
if I gave birth to Young-woo.
Why did you break that promise
and show up again?
Are you trying to get revenge on me
by using Young-woo?
Or is it money?
Are you trying to get money from me?
Hey!
Get out.
Get out!
Recently, two other people and I
pooled our money
and bought lottery tickets.
And we promised
to split it evenly if any of us won.
I really need the 1.4 billion won.
If you get a divorce, does the prize money
have to be divided as well?
This is the first time
I've constantly thought of someone,
so it's quite strange.
