ONE DOLLAR LAWYER
My father liked that spot.
The path and the lake.
Mm.
Did you kill your father too?
What are you saying?
Your father's last painting that was found at the scene of the murder…
was changed.
Something happened to the painting
and it was changed to cover that.
Why…
did it…
have to be covered?
Why do you ask me?
Because you drew it.
(ominous music)
Kim Minjae.
(heavy breaths)
- Why did you hit me? - How dare you talk back at me?
What did I do wrong?
You can study abroad as we promised!
Did I ask you to send me abroad?
(ominous music continues)
Before I came here, I met Ms. Han Jaesook and asked her
when she saw Artist Kim last.
And? What did she say?
I'm sure you know better than I do.
(music intensifies)
ABSOLUTE SILENCE
The main suspect of the Pungjin-dong artist couple's murder,
- Kim Minjae, admitted to the crime… - (door closes)
Hey, Mr. Cheon.
What happened? Did you see the news?
Yes, I saw it. I just met up with Kim Minjae.
It has been a hot topic that the father of the suspect is Artist Kim Chungil…
Even the news is saying that Mr. Kim Minjae confessed,
so what are you going to do?
Hmm.
Well, he did confess…
and even told them the location of his late father's body.
What? What are you talking about?
Artist Kim Chungil is dead?
Yes. The prosecution is probably looking for the body now.
Then, did Mr. Kim Minjae really kill his father?
No.
The artist killed himself three years ago.
(suspenseful music)
I think Kim Minjae's statement is true.
To see if it really is Artist Kim's body and what the cause of death is,
we'll send it to NFS.
- Yes, ma'am. - Thanks.
(clears throat)
(sighs)
His confession and now his body.
Things are coming together too easily.
I've never seen it unfold like this before.
Why doesn't this sit well with me?
Things like this happen.
Sometimes, our thorough investigation solves it
and sometimes, it's easy like this.
Let's be thankful for the evidence presented before us, Yejin.
Wait, what happened? Then,
why did the reporter and curator
hide the fact that Artist Kim committed suicide
and say that he was alive?
I'm sure it was because of the paintings as one sells for a few hundred million.
They probably didn't want to quit that.
Since when did Mr. Kim Minjae start painting for his father?
- From the beginning. - What?
He said it went wrong from the start.
JIHUN: His father, who was an unknown artist,
and Kim Minjae were poor but lived a happy life.
HEEJU: What a creative drawing technique.
This painting is yours, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
JIHUN: That lie he said to save his father's face
became the start of the tragedy.
Minjae, if it's too tough, don't force yourself to paint.
If he doesn't do it, will you do it for him?
Can you even paint as well as Minjae?
Honey, I'm sorry.
Let's not do this here. Let's go elsewhere to talk.
JIHUN: After their marriage, Yoo Heeju found out the truth,
but it wasn't important to her.
Because the lie rather than the truth made more money.
Minjae, your father…
JIHUN: In the end, Artist Kim couldn't stand the lies
and took his own life.
(suspenseful music continues)
No… (sobbing)
He said that for the sake of his father who was an unknown artist,
but in the end, that was…
Yes, I guess that is what happened.
Anyway,
Artist Kim Chungil wasn't the one who killed Director Yoo Heeju, then.
She's right. What are you going to do now, Mr. Cheon?
I knew it.
You said you believed he was innocent.
It's one or the other.
Either plan your defense by asking for leniency
or withdraw from representing him.
You must decide.
Or…
ONE DOLLAR LAWYER
(sighs)
JIHUN: Your father's last painting that was found at the scene of the murder…
was changed.
Something happened to the painting
and it was changed to cover that.
Why…
did it have to be covered?
It's on. Mr. Cheon, your favorite show UI is on.
Aren't you going to watch it?
Go ahead and start watching. We know the story already, don't we?
PRESENTER ON TV: In this residence that boasts its peacefulness…
By the way, where did Ms. Baek go?
- Hmm. - (door closes)
Here's your delivery.
Let's have dinner while we watch UI.
(exclaims)
You are so awesome. (chortling)
- What is that? - It's spicy braised chicken.
I don't really like spicy braised chicken.
Don't you dare eat any.
Please have some.
All right.
(Mujang gasps)
Oh, my gosh.
PRESENTER: It was none other than their family…
MUJANG: Mmm.
Is it pasta or spicy braised chicken?
Didn't you say you didn't like this?
I like it when it's mixed in with pasta.
PRESENTER: Even the most prestigious attorneys couldn't defend him…
Oh, my. It's delicious.
However, the one who stepped up to defend this person…
As you said, it isn't that interesting since we know everything.
They always surprise us with something, so don't let your guard down.
- (exhales) - Mm.
The defense counsel had resigned from this case…
Something like that?
It is rather surprising.
This is a silhouette that looks awfully familiar.
What is that?
Look.
I thought you weren't going to do the interview.
Ms. Baek, be quiet. I have to watch how I did.
(hisses)
What's up with my voice? I usually have a really nice voice.
- Yes. - Why did they change my voice?
Gosh. That is so annoying.
If you're curious, it's 500 won. If you're worried, it's 1,000 won.
Did you hear that? 500 won.
I ad-libbed "If you're curious, it's 500 won."
That was pretty clever. You're good at it.
- (chortling) - (chuckles)
However,
we received a letter from Mr. Kim Minjae
who is in a detention center.
This letter directed us to a location.
That's it.
What do you think we found at that location?
Shockingly, it was a knife.
A knife?
(suspenseful music)
And he wrote this at the end of his letter,
"I admit to committing everything and I'll pay for my crimes.
I hope this knife is used as the definitive evidence
in solving this case."
The broadcasting company just sent this over.
Okay.
(scoffs)
How interesting.
He personally presented the murder weapon.
Please send this to NFS.
- Yes, sir. - Thank you.
Are we sure it's the knife that was used in the murder?
We'll find out very soon.
(suspenseful music continues)
MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
- Why is it taking so long? - What's happening?
He should be here by now.
ATTORNEY CHEON JIHUN
- Here he comes! - He's here!
- Please stand back. - Move back.
- Come on. - Move!
You can't do that.
REPORTER 1: Why did you suddenly confess?
- REPORTER 2: Did you feel guilty? - REPORTER 3: Mr. Kim Minjae!
Mr. Kim Kimjae.
You aren't asking me if I'm doing well today.
Thank you for everything.
REPORTER 1: Do you have anything to say to your late parents?
- Were you abused as a child? - Mr. Seo, can I have a word?
Please take him inside.
- Come with me. - Thank you.
You're here alone? Where's Jihun?
Yeah, he said he'd be here, but he hasn't arrived yet.
Maybe he took off. (chuckles)
I'm just kidding. You had something to say?
Do you think Mr. Kim really did it?
I understand how you feel, Mari.
As prosecutors and lawyers, shouldn't we believe the evidence before us?
The evidence could've been fabricated.
Then you should bring the evidence that it's been fabricated.
Let's talk later. I have to go inside.
Unless you want to go in with me?
You're Kim Minjae's lawyer.
Okay.
(tense music)
(camera shutters clicking)
Let's start the crime scene reenactment from the atelier.
OFFICER: Starting the reenactment.
(tense music continues)
Mr. Kim Minjae, what's wrong?
This is a nice painting.
Mr. Cheon, what happened?
But this painting…
Did you bring it, Jihun?
Yes, sorry I'm a little late.
This painting was the only witness to the crime.
Mr. Kim Minjae,
you drew this painting instead of your father as well, right?
To be exact, your father drew the lake
and you only drew the man with the black umbrella, didn't you?
What are you doing?
Shall we go back to the day of the incident?
On the night of the incident,
there was a painting by Artist Kim that was
going to be presented the next day.
However, there was…
an issue with the painting.
JIHUN: Who and why
did someone tear…
this nice painting? Why?
(suspenseful music)
I did it.
You did it, Mr. Kim? Why?
I was in agony for painting on my father's behalf.
I see.
I completely understand that sentiment.
But what if…
there was someone
who had that same sentiment as you, Mr. Kim?
That person would've wanted to tear this painting up too.
On the day of the incident,
the person who was with Director Yoo Heeju
wasn't my client Mr. Kim Minjae.
It was none other than…
HEEJU: Let go!
JIHUN: It was none other than his sister…
Mom.
…Ms. Kim Suyeon.
(suspenseful music)
Minjae.
Su… Suyeon.
(Suyeon cries)
JIHUN: When Mr. Kim returned from his early morning walk,
- he witnessed the scene of the crime. - Suyeon.
I didn't do it…
- Suyeon. - I didn't…
No, I was just going to tear the painting.
- (sobbing, heavy breaths) - Suyeon, look at me.
Let's say Dad did it.
What?
It'll be okay since no one knows where Dad is.
- Let's do that. - No…
JIHUN: He said that they could
get away with it by putting it on their late father,
but he must've known instinctively that it wasn't possible,
so after reassuring Ms. Kim Suyeon,
Mr. Kim Minjae decided…
to become the murderer himself.
(dramatic music)
JIHUN: It wouldn't have been strange to see a torn painting at the crime scene,
but there was a reason why he couldn't leave it there.
If this painting had
even a drop of Ms. Kim Suyeon's blood,
it was obvious
that she would've been suspected.
That's why Mr. Kim Min-jae…
(dramatic music continues)
JIHUN: That's why Mr. Kim Min-jae drew
his signature, a man with a black umbrella,
over an already finished painting.
MINJAE: That's a load of crap.
Stop with that crap.
There's no evidence to prove that Suyeon did it anyway.
I painted them. They were my paintings!
I was upset that they sold my paintings as my father's.
- That's why I did it. - Minjae.
You can stop now.
Let's stop.
Mr. Kim Minjae, are you going to…
make the same mistake again?
(uplifting music)
The son who drew the great paintings instead of his father,
the fame that he didn't want,
his paintings that were to never see the light of day.
The lies that you told for your father's sake…
made your father unhappy.
And this time,
you'll turn Ms. Kim Suyeon that way as well.
Mr. Kim Minjae.
If you become the murderer instead of Ms. Kim Suyeon,
do you think she will be happy?
You should stop now.
(uplifting music continues)
I'm sorry.
(sniffles)
I'm sorry.
(sobbing)
We apologize.
The crime scene reenactment has ended.
Why was it done privately all of a sudden?
Is Kim Minjae not the real murderer?
We will let you know during a press release later on.
Once again, we apologize.
- Kim Minjae is inside right now! - One moment!
- Please leave now. - Sorry, you must leave.
Kim Minjae took back his confession
and Kim Suyeon confessed.
I guess it's really over now.
(inhales) Hmm.
Over? Did you say it was over?
Ms. Baek, why don't you tell me? What will happen from now on?
Firstly, if Ms. Kim Suyeon's claim that she only wanted to tear the painting
and didn't want to harm her mother is accepted,
that'll be considered as manslaughter.
And Mr. Kim Minjae tried to conceal the real killer by a false statement,
he'll be charged for harboring a suspect and destroying evidence.
However, he'll be exempt under the Special Exception to Relatives.
And?
And since Mr. Kim Minjae knew that his mother was already dead,
he didn't purposely think that neglecting her would lead to her death,
so he's clear of aiding a crime.
Oh, you're finally good enough to work as my probationary employee.
By the way, Mr. Cheon, what Director Yoo said before she died,
"Suyeon, Minjae…"
Why do you think she said that?
Hmm.
Have you ever experienced this?
You see…
Parents are like that.
Even though her daughter stabbed her,
she probably wanted to protect her until the end,
even if it meant using Minjae.
I don't know exactly why, though.
Let's go.
Anyway, where did you borrow that painting from, Mr. Cheon?
- It's a trade secret. - What?
You're only an 80-point probationary employee,
why are you so curious?
- Wasn't I 85 points? - It was deducted by 5 just now.
- Why? - You got smart with me.
Humph.
Where did you borrow that from? It was sold for a lot of money.
Actually, I bought it.
- (laughing) - (scoffs)
Fine. I'm sure you did.
- Seriously. - Sorry.
Where did you borrow it from?
(sentimental music)
Don't think about anything.
Don't worry about me either.
Go study abroad
and paint what you want to your heart's content.
Okay.
Take this.
It's your father's last painting.
Come on. Don't feel uncomfortable about it.
It's the price for painting that mural.
(snickers)
One, two, three.
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.
Ah.
- Then, you go this way. - Okay.
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.
(gentle music plays)
(water pours)
Dad, why do you like it here?
What?
Look. Isn't it so nice?
All of your frustrations are gone, so your head becomes clear
and you can paint easily too.
(gentle music continues to play)
Minjae.
Shall I tell everyone?
I'm fine. If it's too difficult, you can stop, Minjae.
No, I'm fine too.
(chuckles)
Father.
Have you heard of Lake Titicaca?
Lake Titicaca? I've never heard of it.
It's a lake with the highest elevation in the world.
You'll love it when you see a picture of it.
Really?
It would be nice to go together.
We can all go together.
(gentle music continues to play)
OFFICE OF LAW, 2F
Mr. Cheon, we solved this tremendous case,
so did we get anything in return?
Mm.
We did.
We did?
- Yes. - Really?
- You know. - What?
Stay here. Stay right here.
(rock music)
(door opens, closes)
Yes, we did!
We did!
Wait up! Geez.
YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE, RESTROOM
(exclaims, laughs)
Gosh, Mr. Cheon!
(laughs, gasps)
Ms. Cho, what are you doing right now?
I don't like this mural.
I'm going to draw something else here.
Do you know how much that is?
Why do I care? This piece of crap?
Wouldn't it have been about two billion won?
Two billion won? Two billion won!
Oh, my gosh. (cries)
- Twenty won? - Twenty won?
Gosh, it's only twenty won.
(everyone laughs)
ATTORNEY, BAEK MARI
Maybe it's because we resolved a huge case,
the office has been very quiet lately.
(sighs) We deserve a day like this.
We worked so hard up until now.
You worked hard as well, Ms. Baek.
You got so busy as soon as you got here.
Mr. Cheon won't be in today, so you can leave early.
Oh.
You can go ahead. I have plans this evening.
- Plans? - Yes.
Is it a date?
(scoffs) No.
Anyway, where did Mr. Cheon go?
Oh, he just told me not to wait up for him.
Shall I leave first?
Sure.
- You don't mind, do you? - Of course, not.
- (chuckles) - (laughs)
- All right. See you. - Bye.
(door opens)
- (sighs) - (door closes)
CHIEF COUNSEL, CHEON JIHUN
(gentle music)
(groans)
END OF PROBATIONARY PERIOD!
The two months are going to fly by.
CHEON JIHUN LAW OFFICE
Hmm.
This person…
- Grandpa. - Yes.
Who is this person?
She used to be the best lawyer at our law firm.
She isn't here anymore.
(gasps) Ah.
This person…
I think this is where she was.
"Attorney, Lee Juyeong."
Why is the curly-haired guy's name here now?
(car horn honks)
Prosecutor Na Yejin!
Why did you come? I could've met up with you somewhere.
How could I ask you to come? You are my senior.
I should come meet you.
(chuckles)
- What? - Something's up.
What are you talking about?
Why do you want to… treat me to a meal out of the blue?
Are you interrogating me? My goodness.
Let's go grab a bite.
Something's up.
- Nothing's up. - Something's up.
Hey.
This place is so good.
Not bad, right?
I came here with Mr. Cheon not too long ago, and it wasn't bad.
At this rate, You'll spend all of your probationary employee salary.
I wanted to treat you, so this is nothing.
(exclaims)
If I had known, I would've brought Yeowon too.
Bring Yeowon along next time. I'll buy you both a meal.
I'll buy next time.
(clears throat)
Yejin.
What is Mr. Cheon like?
He's always avoiding the landlady because he can't pay the rent,
but his clothes and watches seem
very expensive.
It seemed like he spoke some French too.
Were you curious about that?
Well, just…
tell me how he was as a prosecutor.
It's a long story to tell you about Jihun's past.
Can you handle it?
Yes.
(inhales)
Gosh, where should I start?
How many years ago was that?
(snaps)
The party after we ended an investigation.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR: You all worked very hard.
5 YEARS AGO
You worked hard but what can we do about the bad results?
All right. Fill your glasses.
Since you worked hard, forget all about it and…
Hang on a minute. Why is there an empty seat already?
Jihun went to the restroom, sir.
- Mr. Kim. - Yes.
- Do you have them? - Yes, sir.
(laughs)
All right. If anyone isn't here at the end,
you'll pay for it.
CHEON JIHUN, SEO MINHYEOK
OFFICIAL BUSINESS
(tense music)
Shall we go in?
You haven't heard from Jihun yet?
He told us to go ahead and go on up.
He said we'll find out why the president's office is at the top.
I got the warrant for him since he said he couldn't get it,
so what is he saying now?
PROSECUTION SERVICE
(sighs)
All right. Let's go inside!
- Let's go. - ALL: Yes, sir!
What is this about?
We're from Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Excuse us.
- Investigators. - Let's go in.
Stop them!
(tense music continues)
Gosh.
I forgot to show you this.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT
May I enter now?
Let's go.
Please cooperate with us.
Thank you. Step aside.
We can't hold them off anymore.
They're heading up now.
Well, then…
Please go up as fast as possible.
I'll see you on the top floor.
(bangs)
What's happening?
UNDER INSPECTION
What on earth is going on?
Darn.
SECURITY OFFICER: I'm sorry. It broke down all of a sudden.
Please wait a moment and we'll fix it in no time.
Why these jerks…
What should we do, Mr. Seo?
(tense music)
- Hurry up! - We don't have time.
- Gosh. - Hey.
- We don't have time for that. - Come on.
Hurry up and get it done!
- Come on! - Gosh.
- Come on! - What about this?
- Hurry. - Come on.
JQ GROUP INCORPORATION'S SHARES AGREEMENT OF JQ CHEMICAL JOINT ENTERPRISE
We're running out of time. Don't you know they're on their way up?
Yes, I do know. But I think you should get rid of this first.
Who are you? I've never seen you before.
Me? I'm…
From Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Please put down anything you are holding at this moment.
What? When did he get up here?
I'm from Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Mr. Cheon.
Yes, this is an important file, so hold on to it.
Yes, sir.
So… Mr. Park Junsung.
Where is President Choi Kitae?
(whirs)
EXPENSE HISTORY
You're a little too late.
That was the last one.
Well done, President Choi Kitae.
You're bolder than I thought.
(tense music continues)
Who are you?
Well, I'm from…
Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Mr. Choi Kitae, you're under arrest for destroying evidence.
(snickers)
You're a prosecutor? You're an interesting guy.
If you come with me, it'll become more interesting.
Listen, prosecutor guy,
do you know who I am?
Yes, I definitely know who you are.
You guys are all dead with this one phone call.
You'll have to hire the most expensive lawyer.
(phone rings)
Hello.
What is it, President Choi Kitae?
Why did you call?
I told you to call the most expensive lawyer,
but you called my boss.
He has no power.
You little…
Let's see.
(line rings)
The food here is...
Sir!
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Hello.
Have a seat.
Sit.
(line ringing continues)
- (door opens) - (phone ringing)
I keep hearing a ringing from here.
Yes, why do you keep calling?
It won't work.
I took…
all of them.
(laughs)
Bring it on.
(line rings)
Stop bragging about your connections and come with us, Mr. Choi Kitae.
Hello.
It's me.
One of your employees is here.
(tense music)
Yes, this is Prosecutor Cheon Jihun.
Hey, you jerk! How dare you go there?
Pull out from there right now.
- This way? - Yes.
Jihun.
Prosecutor Cheon, we're all done out there.
You'll go far if you listen to your boss.
What is he saying?
Mm.
The deputy prosecutor general is very mad.
Has he already caught wind of it?
Yes.
(in whispered voice) Then, what happens to us now?
(scoffs)
(in normal voice) So…
why did you come here when everyone else went for drinks?
You just got yourselves in trouble.
It isn't too late to go back. I'll put in a good word for you.
What do you want?
I can drop by the prosecutor's office for a bit,
and then go home.
(tense music continues)
Do you think we'll be okay?
What do you mean?
We're going to be chewed out for what we did here.
Aren't you afraid?
I am afraid,
but I do it anyway.
By the way, Jihun, I looked everywhere,
but I think that guy destroyed all the key documents.
If we take him in at this rate,
we'll have to release him immediately as he said.
What should we do?
What's the date today, Minhyeok? Hmm.
Today? It's the 16th.
(line rings)
REPORTER: Hello.
Where are you?
Geez, you call me in a year and you ask me where I am?
Do you know how long I've been here since I got kicked out because of you?
What?
Do you think I'd believe what you say again?
- Let's go. - Hey, Jihun.
You want us to go back like this?
I think you should become famous, Minhyeok.
What is he saying?
- (crowd cheering) - (pop music plays)
MARRY ME, JEHOON
JEHOON'S BEAUTY IS THE STANDARD BEAUTY
REPORTER: Mr. Lee Jehoon!
Mr. Lee Jehoon, please look over here!
Mr. Lee Jehoon!
Please look over here.
Look here and say something.
Ah. I'm so nervous to be at such a great event.
I hope that it finishes as a big success.
Thank you.
(phone vibrates)
Darn it. He calls me in a year and what does he have to say now?
What do you want? Why do you keep calling me?
Hello.
I'll get you back on local news.
(upbeat music)
(grunts)
(laughs)
Hello!
This is a scoop.
He's a bad guy.
Yes, over here!
JQ CONSTRUCTION CEO CHOI KITAE ON THE RED CARPET…
"Third Generation Chaebol and a Prosecutor Stand Together on the Red Carpet."
Why would you stand there, you jerk?
Are you filming a movie? Why would a prosecutor go there?
I'm sorry, sir.
But I really didn't know.
You didn't know? Did you really not know?
How could you be smiling like this if you didn't know? How?
If you look carefully,
I'm not smiling.
I'm simply not fully awake.
What do you think, Yejin?
(sighs)
I've been working a lot lately,
so I fell asleep in the car briefly and woke up.
When I got out of the car, there were reporters everywhere.
I thought for sure it was because the reporters caught wind of it.
I never thought in a million years that it was the red carpet.
How did you get the warrant?
While I was in the restroom at the party, Prosecutor Seo Minhyeok gave me a call.
He said he got the warrant but was afraid to go alone.
That mouth of yours.
Both of you, get out!
(door opens)
(door closes)
You should've given me a heads-up.
How could you two do that on your own?
You just heard.
I had no choice but to go because of Minhyeok as well.
Should I ask him?
Well, don't ask him.
(sighs)
Seo Minhyeok, how did it go?
Ah. (chuckles)
Thanks for your concern, Yejin.
Dad took care of everything for me.
He was the direct senior to the deputy prosecutor general.
Your father. I'd like to meet him one day too.
You're lucky, Minhyeok.
I'm not lucky. It's just tiresome.
By the way, did you see the news, Jihun?
Yes, I did.
It was on the front page as promised.
Yes, but…
we didn't come out so well.
It didn't… come out badly either.
Did you see any other articles?
They didn't use the same photo, did they?
Don't they use the same photo?
Ooh!
(laughs)
Thank you.
I have to go.
You guys are ridiculous.
What are you going to do now?
They will hire an above-average lawyer.
If I was afraid of lawyers, I wouldn't have started to begin with.
Tell them to come at me.
(upbeat music)
Hey, prosecutor guy.
See you later.
Yes, looking forward to it.
(snickers)
Let go. Damn it.
Yes, I'll head over as soon as the habeas corpus proceeding finishes.
Okay.
JUYEONG: Do you think you can do it?
This isn't Mr. Choi Kitae's first time getting into trouble.
I got so mad reading the documents.
Shouldn't a jerk like him be sent to prison
and made to pay for his crimes?
Yes, you're right. But this is the men's room.
He'll get an expensive lawyer this time and try to get away with it again.
Can you handle it?
Yes, I am confident. But who are you?
You were known for your investigative abilities.
I'm counting on you, Prosecutor Cheon Jihun.
- Hey, Jihun. - Yeah?
That guy must have something up his sleeve.
He's smiling.
(snickers)
(tense music)
PROSECUTION TABLE
(in whispered voice) It's Mr. Baek's firm. What do we do?
If it's Law Firm Baek, it must've cost a fortune.
Hang in there.
If you remain patient, we'll bring you some good news.
- I'm counting on you. - (chuckles)
I guess we have to go another round with the old men.
DEFENSE COUNSEL TABLE
She was their lawyer.
What? Who?
Hmm. Nothing.
(inhales, exhales)
(gentle music)
The defendant poses no risk of destroying evidence or fleeing,
and his residence is clear.
The prosecution has secured all the evidence during their search,
so there is no need for the prosecution to know his whereabouts
during their investigation.
Also, when the prosecution requests an investigation,
the defendant will appear and cooperate with the investigation.
Prosecution, you may proceed.
Yes.
The defendant was arrested
for trying to destroy evidence during our search
and we suspect that there will be additional attempts to destroy evidence,
so we think that he must be detained during the investigation, Your Honor.
Detained? Of course, not. I was indicted without detainment.
Hey, I'm on my way. Come out right now.
(footsteps approach)
Excuse me.
What are you doing right now?
Were you playing with me?
Do you want to get some coffee? It's my treat.
(light music)
(coins clanks)
CAFE COFFEE
Are you okay with milk coffee?
Don't you drink vending machine coffee?
I'll give it a try.
You're saying... (chuckles)
you've never tried it, are you?
Gosh. You're in for a surprise.
(light music continues)
(exhales)
How is it?
Well, it's sweet.
Isn't it? Doesn't it make you feel better?
I'll be seeing you often from now on.
I meant… what I said earlier.
The person who committed a crime must be punished accordingly.
That's what I think.
Unfortunately, I work as a lawyer.
I'm sure It must've been hard to arrest him.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? The trial hasn't even started yet.
As you said, a jerk that has committed a crime
must be punished accordingly.
Are you confident about it?
Yes, I am.
Shall we say that whoever loses has to buy the other person a drink, Mr. Cheon?
Ah.
But I've never lost a bet over a drink.
I guess you'll lose that bet and the trial this time.
I look forward to it.
Please win this trial. I'm counting on you.
As an attorney, I'll do my best as well.
Yes, I'll decide later on whether I want that drink or not,
but you're gonna have to buy that drink.
(light music)
ONE DOLLAR LAWYER
(closing theme music)
Who's the prosecutor that caused the trouble?
It's Prosecutor Cheon Jihun.
MR. SEO: He's so stubborn that even the prosecution gave up on him.
He wrote a will and disappeared.
He must've died somewhere!
It sounds like that's what you want.
Have you lost your mind?
Why did you tell him to die?
You aren't a prosecutor. You're a novelist.
- Sir. - Do you have proof?
If one has committed a crime, they must be punished accordingly. That's justice.
Don't you ever go on a date?
I'm going to find out where he siphoned that slush fund.
JIHUN: What's the license plate number?
- KITAE: It's N 3866. - Unbelievable.
- Who is it? - He's been very busy lately.
Jihun, no matter what choice you make, I'm on your side,
but you can stop here.
Welcome.
YEJIN: You can't investigate your own father.
