EPISODE 11
(suspenseful music)
HYUNMU: I've heard a lot about you.
Let's get together when we are free.
MINCHUL: Yes, sir.
(Hyunmu chuckles)
HYUNMU: I look forward to your work.
(suspenseful music continues)
How is everything? Where is the chairman?
GUARD: He is inside.
MINCHUL: Do a good job.
(gasps)
(breathes heavily)
(whispers) You were here. Did you find him?
You startled me.
I found him. He went into the room.
But I can't go in because of the guards.
Wait here a while. I'll go take a look.
Why, why, why?
Leave it to me.
(action music)
I'll be back.
(woman laughs)
- You look so youthful for your age. - Oh, please…
(chuckles)
MR. SA MUJANG
- KISEOK: Mr. Cha? - Yes?
I will see you later.
(whispers) He called him Mr. Cha.
MUJANG: Damn. I can't see anything.
KISEOK: Say hello.
I'm Cha Minchul. Pleased to meet you.
Cha Minchul…
KISEOK: He will be in charge of Cayman Fund from now on.
AUCTIONEER: We will now start the VIP Charity Auction.
First up is a bronze statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva that was taken to Japan.
We will start the bid.
- One hundred thousand won. - One hundred thousand won.
Any more?
If not, it is sold for 100,000 won. Congratulations.
What kind of auction is this?
It's not an auction. It's a bribe.
It's a bribe to launder money.
AUCTIONEER: We will see the next item.
You, over there.
(tense music)
MINCHUL: Hang on.
(tense music)
The chairman is leaving.
(suspenseful music)
(exhales deeply)
(fireworks explosion)
(tense music)
(crowd cheering, whooping)
It's beautiful.
Excuse me.
MR. TAESAN: Mari.
Mari!
I'm kind of busy right now.
I remembered who it was.
JUYEONG: Jihun, I'm sorry.
(tense music continues)
(tense music intensifies)
(crowd cheering)
MAN: Oh, Mr. Cha.
- I look forward to your work. - MINCHUL: I will do my best.
(breathes heavily)
(somber music)
(breathes heavily)
JUYEONG: What about you, Jihun?
Are you as free as you want to be?
Or…
are you caught up in the past?
(exhales sharply)
The next item was donated by Osong Group's Chairman Seok Yoon.
It's a limited edition single malt whiskey
that has been released in only 30 bottles worldwide.
The bid starts at ten million won.
- The bid will go up by a million… - MINHYEOK: All of them were
at the Prosecution at one point. They are all there.
WOMAN: That's ten million, 11 million,
12 million, 13 million, 14 million,
17 million, 17 million,
18 million. We have 19 million.
We have 20 million, 20 million…
Mari, have you seen Mr. Cheon?
You don't know, either?
I haven't seen him. Where is he?
MAN: Once again, we would like to thank the VIPs
who donated their personal items to this charity auction.
Now we have one last item remaining…
Mr. Cheon.
I found out who the person is.
Who is it?
His name is Cha Minchul.
He was the secretary for JQ's chairman.
Apparently, he is the new CEO of Cayman Fund.
MAN: It's Chairman Choi Kiseok of the JQ Group.
Please give him a big hand.
(crowd cheering)
Good evening, I'm Choi Kiseok.
I want to thank the distinguished guests who came to my party.
I see many familiar faces who are like family.
I see new faces, as well.
Thanks for coming despite your busy schedule.
It's not much,
but I've prepared something for my guests.
Is there someone who won the bid tonight?
(crowd murmuring)
Chairman Choi, we have yet to announce the last auction item.
Ah, is it not over yet?
- (loud thud) - (phone rings)
Is it not over yet?
Assemblyman Kim Yoonsub.
(laughs)
(suspenseful music continues)
ONE DOLLAR LAWYER
WOMAN: This is the long-awaited last item.
Chairman Choi Kiseok let the cat out of the bag a little early.
The last item is a person who is very hard to meet.
It is a dinner with Chairman Choi Kiseok of the JQ Group.
(crowd cheering, applauding)
We will start the bid at one million won and go up by a million.
- Do we have one million? - Is he Warren Buffet?
- One million, two million… - He is a head of a chaebol,
and he's not exposed to the media much.
So, he's shrouded in mystery.
But this is too funny.
- WOMAN: Ten million? - No.
We reached ten million in no time.
Let's go up by five million.
We could possibly get 70 million.
- WOMAN: We have 40 million. - That would be wonderful.
Do we have more than 50 million? More than 50 million?
More than 50 million won.
- JIHUN: One hundred million. - (crowd gasping)
WOMAN: We have 100 million.
Do we have more than 100 million?
One hundred million.
MAN: Isn't that Cheon Jihun?
WOMAN: We will close the bid.
- The current bid is 100 million won… - It is him.
One hundred million? Mr. Cheon, are you crazy?
- It has been sold to Client No. 24… - Mr. Cheon…
- …for 100 million won. - I need to find out something.
(applause)
MINCHUL: Who are you?
JIHUN: Name, Cha Minchul. 38 years old.
A puppet of the JQ Group.
I thought you would live your life doing the dirty work for others.
You've come far for a butler at JQ.
You even have an office at a place like this.
Goodness.
This is a nice office.
It's me.
How did you find me?
It's right here.
You were named as the new CEO of Cayman Fund. Hmm.
You are quite famous.
People told me.
You are begging to be killed.
Wait, why did you take out a knife… I'm sorry.
Wait.
No… Hold on.
Don't come near.
Don't come near me.
Don't come close.
(groans)
I told you not to come close.
(grunts)
I used to spar a bit in the old days.
(exhales sharply)
(breathes heavily)
(grunts)
(groans)
(coughs)
JIHUN: Is this the knife…
you used to kill Juyeong?
Please…
(crowd clamors)
(whimpers)
(grunts)
What?
Does it hurt?
Juyeong's pain must have been much worse.
I'll make you feel…
that exact same pain.
(tense music)
(whimpering continues)
JUYEONG: Jihun, I really like it when you smile.
(muffled grunting)
The words of the person you killed…
saved you today.
(tense music continues)
(tires screeching)
ORDERED TO KILL
MURDER
(whimpers)
(suspenseful music)
LEE JUYEONG
JUYEONG: I wanted to make you smile
to others as warmly as you do to me.
I should teach you how to warm up to people first.
You are a warm person.
- (sentimental music) - (sighs)
JQ CHEON JIHUN
NEWS
MUJANG: Good morning, Mari.
- You're here, Mr. Sa. - Yes.
What are you looking at so intently?
Just this and that.
Mr. Cheon must have followed this lead for a long time.
It seems like he's almost there.
Ah, I guess so.
Mari, let's help Mr. Cheon.
We are all he has right now.
- Great. - Great. Let's help him!
(exclaims, chuckles)
- But where do we get 100 million? - So, Mr. Sa.
It is possible
that Mr. Cheon is very rich
or has a lot more money than we thought.
- But if you see his permed hair... - Last time, I saw him
- in a really expensive car... - (door opens)
We don't have to come up with 100 million won.
Mr. Cheon, what are you talking about? You must meet with Choi Kiseok.
Yes. Cha Minchul seems to have ties to Choi Kiseok.
Isn't that why you wanted to see him?
Yes, you're right. But…
how should I put this? It's not the right time.
I don't think we're ready.
What are you talking about?
Hmm.
Mari, I am curious about something.
Please answer me carefully after you put in a lot of thought.
Okay.
What if…
the person that you respect the most
does something that you despise the most?
How would you feel?
I know, Mr. Cheon.
You suffered because of your father.
To be honest, if it were me,
I don't think I would have endured as well as you did.
But Mr. Cheon,
it's all in the past.
Now you have to expose him,
and as you said, give him an appropriate punishment.
(soft chuckle)
Mr. Sa, I will go out for a while.
MUJANG: Okay.
Mari.
The sun was very bright outside.
Wear this when you go out.
I'll be back.
Are you coming back soon?
JIHUN: Yeah.
What was that? That was so weird.
Let's see.
- (laughs) - (Mari clears throat)
(sentimental music)
THE LATE LEE JUYEONG
(sighs)
WE WILL REMEMBER THE LAWYER WHO HELPED THE HELPLESS.
REST IN PEACE.
YEONGOK: How is Mr. Cheon doing these days?
He's trying to solve a case.
But it's a bit personal.
It's personal?
Yes, something like that.
If this case is resolved well,
we will get big cases from now on. Things will be better.
Don't go around getting swindled like the last time and bug Mr. Cheon.
They don't have to be big cases. Be helpful to Mr. Cheon.
I know. Don't worry.
Good things are coming.
(phone vibrates)
(grumbles)
Darn it.
What? What's going on?
The way he ran out gives me a bad vibe. I'm nervous.
LEGAL FEE: 1,000 WON
Good morning, Mr. Sa.
Mr. Sa, is something wrong?
What is it?
He left.
Who left?
Mr. Cheon.
Mr. Cheon left.
Geez. Stop joking.
It's true.
That jerk…
He just sent me a text message and left!
Here, Mari. He left you a letter.
(somber music)
CHEON JIHUN
1 YEAR LATER
JUDGE: Plaintiff, begin your argument.
LAWYER: Yes.
Please review the autopsy report of the plaintiff that we submitted.
Plaintiff's cause of death is subarachnoid cerebral hemorrhage.
Cerebro-cardiovascular disease like this
can happen suddenly due to overwork...
MARI: Your Honor.
Please check the work hour log of the plaintiff.
During the 12 weeks before the onset of the illness,
the average working hours were 48 hours and 30 minutes,
and the working hours one week before the onset of the illness
were also 50 hours and 14 minutes.
Therefore, it cannot be considered the work hours have increased enough
to be recognized as an industrial accident.
At the time, the commuting time was not recorded properly,
and the working hours were estimated based on the time taken
by the scanner on the packages.
Normal sorting hours are not included.
That is a baseless argument by the plaintiff.
Acknowledged. Please substantiate your argument.
I cannot help but doubt the intentions of the plaintiff.
Plaintiff's side is trying to get excessive compensation from WS Courier
by abusing the law and the general public.
That's not true! We are not doing this for money.
We… just feel that it's unfair.
- It's so unfair! - It's not about the money!
- Does this make sense? - JUDGE: Calm down.
- Your Honor! - Otherwise, I will ask you to leave.
- WOMAN: Does it make sense to you? - MAN: Listen to us!
WOMAN: This is unfair!
- MAN: Wait. - WOMAN: It's so unfair.
We didn't do this for money.
You worked hard.
WS Courier wants to sign a five-year exclusive contract.
You did a great job.
I did what I should be doing.
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
It's nothing. You did well.
Grandpa, I have to stop by somewhere.
Go home without me.
Okay.
(chuckles)
ROOM 201 YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE
- (shrieks) - (screams)
- Mari! - Mr. Sa.
Oh!
MUJANG: Ooh…
Have you been well?
Are you doing well at Law Firm Baek?
- Well… Yes. - (chuckles)
What are you doing here?
Oh, me?
I was just feeling kind of blue
and the office seemed dirty. So I came here to clean.
I don't know when he will come back.
Where did he go?
Did he go abroad?
That's right. He spoke French well.
Do you think he's in France?
Mr. Sa, did you forget already?
He abandoned us.
He doesn't deserve you taking after his office.
Then why are you here?
I…
I was just in the area.
I remembered the fish so I came by to feed them.
(sighs) I should go now that I fed them.
Anyway…
take care of yourself, Mr. Sa.
And…
forget about him.
It's already been a year.
It's about time we forget him.
I'll get going now.
Goodbye, Mari.

- CORINNE (in French): Hi. - JIHUN: Hi, Corinne.
What book are you reading?
It's for preparing my dissertation. It doesn't read very well.
I see. Come to Mari's party on the weekend.
I will. Bye.
Bye.
VOLCANO CAFE
Hmm. Mari?
(in Korean) I wonder if that Mari is doing well.
This atmosphere…
France has the best atmosphere.
OUTSTANDING LAWYER OF THE YEAR
ATTORNEY BAEK MARI
- (knocking on door) - Yes?
Can I come in?
Hi, Minhyeok.
- (door closes) - I heard you won a case.
Well, yes.
I knew you would.
Then we should celebrate your win.
If you're not busy, do you want to have dinner?
I have plans with Yejin.
With Yejin? Is something going on?
We just have stuff to talk about.
Just the two of you?
Okay, then.
- What about... - Let's meet some other time.
- Let's meet some other time. Okay? - Yes.
- Minhyeok. - Should I come too?
Not that.
Why did you quit a good prosecutor job and became a lawyer?
Why Law Firm Baek of all places?
Baek? It's nice, isn't it?
It's close to home and my dad is here too.
Maybe it's a challenge to become a lawyer.
That was probably why.
Why do you ask?
It's nothing. Bye.
Okay.
Have a good time.
(smirks)
(sighs)
CHEON JIHUN
I'm doing fantastic, Cheon Jihun. All thanks to you.
- (in French) Hi. - Hi.
(in Korean) Hello.
Are you off to someplace?
Yes. I have an appointment.
- Okay, see you then. - Okay.
Yes. I'm glad I came to this village.
NORTH HAN RIVER FRENCH VILLAGE
JIHUN: Hello.
- WOMAN: Hello. - Hi.
NORTH HAN RIVER FRENCH VILLAGE
Mr. Cheon, over here.
Mr. Cheon.
- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Cheon.
Thank you for making the long trip.
It's nothing. I should have come more often.
- You must have waited a long time. - No.
Thank you for coming to help.
This way.
Everyone, Mr. Cheon is here.
You're really here.
- Hello. - Hello, everyone.
Hello. Have you all been well?
I should have come sooner.
I'm sorry to come so late.
I will come more often. Okay.
COMMUNITY CENTER
So, do I have to call that number?
Yes, if you call here, they will explain it to you in detail.
I will call ahead.
Can't you help me instead?
I am a lawyer but I'm not practicing law right now.
Come on. Just help me out.
I'm sorry, but I'm not emotionally ready.
The lawyer says he isn't ready.
What do you mean, ready?
Hey there, Mr. Lawyer.
Are you really a lawyer?
MAN: He's starting it again.
Village Foreman.
What kind of lawyer doesn't advocate?
Why you scoundrels…
Are you still upset over getting caught stealing the village fund?
What are you saying, old woman?
We didn't steal the fund.
You guys in the youth group.
Village Foreman, say something.
Tell me. Did you see anything?
- You tramps! - What's wrong with you?
- Why do you accuse an innocent man? - You did!
- Let's go see the books! - You guys took the money!
- Do you have proof? - What are you saying?
Village Foreman...
(Jihun blabbers)
Everyone, please pay attention.
I have something to ask all of you.
Don't I seem like a lawyer?
MAN: No, you don't!
What is the problem?
This happened at the Han River last time too.
Everyone, let me ask you again.
Don't I seem like a lawyer?
- No, you don't! - No, you don't!
- Just by looking, you can't tell. - Well…
Don't I look like a lawyer?
No, you don't.
Listen to that! She says I don't, even though I am.
(scoffs)
Everyone, would you believe me if I prove to you
that I'm a lawyer?
Sure. Prove it to us if you can.
"If you can" is rather impolite.
Please do. Mm.
Very well, then. Do you have scissors and glue?
(grandiose music)
(exhales deeply)
55 WINS, 1 TIE, 0 LOSSES ATTORNEY CHEON JIHUN!
Yes, hello. Is this Soyeon Printing?
I will send you a file.
Can I get it delivered by a courier? Quickly, please.
The address is…
What is the address here?
(feedbacks)
Mic check, one, two.
Hello, everyone. Nice to see you.
Why am I standing before you again?
I am standing here because of your doubts.
From now on, I will try to prove to you
what kind of person I am.
Who am I? Let me tell you…
(quirky music)
Look at that.
He won 55 times.
MAN: Do you believe that?
WOMAN: He really is a lawyer.
Who am I?
Let me tell you about myself.
A four-time convicted pickpocket.
JIHUN: I proved his innocence with ease,
and reunited him with his adorable daughter.
A rude man
with a giant head… Well, it looks small here.
There was a mean director with a giant head.
We didn't even go to trial.
I beat him with a game of bingo
and helped his unfortunate employees.
Pungjin-dong Murder, supposedly committed by the devil of the ages.
Everybody said he was the killer,
but I alone worked like a detective
and proved his innocence.
I won 55 cases, tied for one, and lost zero.
My win rate is unbelievable! So who am I?
I am Attorney Cheon Jihun.
Ladies and gentlemen, so you must wonder why a lawyer like me
came all the way here to give you free legal advice.
(exhales sharply)
To be honest,
I felt a void in my heart so I left the busy life
and I have been practicing mindfulness
by providing free legal services to you.
If you still don't believe me,
if you still can't believe me,
try calling the official number at 1660-1923.
Call right now.
- Let's try. - It's 1923.
JIHUN (over phone): In this heartless world,
shouldn't there be a lawyer you could hire for 1,000 won?
I will be your lawyer for just 1,000 won.
What does it say?
- Attorney Cheon Jihun! - What does it say?
Attorney Cheon Jihun!
You're the best.
- Goodbye. I'll be off. - Goodbye.
- Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
If you are a lawyer,
do you also go to the prosecutors office?
I used to,
but now…
I would like to ask you a favor.
Please give these letters to the prosecutors.
Ah, what kind of letters are these?
My grandson was taken by the prosecutors.
But he's not the type to get in trouble.
He's not a bad kid at all.
(sighs) Please do me this favor.
Yes. Please don't worry and go home.
- Please, I beg you. - Sure.
It's been so long. Let's have a drink.
Cheers. (giggles)
(Mari sighs)
He's so high and mighty.
So high and mighty.
How can he just leave us like that?
What about Mr. Sa?
I mean, what about me?
Another plate of dried pollack, please.
Hey, is this dried pollack? It's more like pollack powder.
I don't like dried pollack.
I didn't ask you.
Why did I order dried pollack?
JIHUN: Remove the flesh like so.
Here. Open up.
Open up.
(chortling)
(Mari sighs)
Why am I eating…
dried pollack?
Baek Mari.
No. I'm okay.
I know you were hurt by Jihun.
He is a hard guy for us to understand.
- (sniffles) - He probably had things to sort out.
(cries)
(exhales sharply)
(sobs)
MALSOON: To the respected prosecutors.
Dear Prosecutor,
I am Park Malsoon, Lee Sinho's grandmother.
The police told me
that Sinho did something wrong at his company.
But he's such a good boy. He probably didn't know it was wrong.
They said it was JQ Pharmaceuticals, a company that makes medicine.

CHIEF COUNSEL, CHEON JIHUN
Thank you, Ms. Baek.
Thanks to you, I'm out without any incident.
Ah...
Here you go.
No, thank you. It's quite all right. It's my job.
My hands are getting embarrassed. Could you just take it?
What about dinner tonight?
There is a nice omakase place in the Cheongdam area.
It would be nice for you to join me.
Wait.
CLIENT: Ms. Baek?
You jerk!
Me?
Who are you?
(scoffs)
It's you, Cheon Jihun.
I'm not Cheon Jihun.
What are you saying? You wait right there.
Hey, you!
Cheon Jihun!
Stop.
MARI: Stop right there!
- I'm not Cheon Jihun. - (Mari screams)
(elevator chimes)
(indistinct chatter)
AUTOMATED VOICE: The doors are closing.
Where have you been?
What have you been doing all this time?
What were you doing?
There are too many people, Mari.
Let's meet at the back of the building.
Yes. I will first go to the bathroom.
If you get caught running away again,
I will really kill you.
(comical music)
That woman says she will kill me.
What?
Cheon Jihun, you jerk!
He's dead!
- What is it? Did Mr. Cheon come back? - He's at the prosecutor's office.
- This jerk! - (chuckles)
Yes, that look on your back suits you very well.
It's a hopeful look.
Where is she? What's taking her so long?
Ms. Beak, what time is it right now?
You need to be quicker.
Why are you so late? Why?
Ah...
Are you even a man?
(both grunting)
(groans)
What's with you, Ms. Baek?
We went through so much together. How dare you betray us and disappear?
My gosh!
(exhales sharply)
It's not like that. I didn't betray you and disappear.
What are you doing now?
Ms. Baek, you seem a bit informal now.
Would you be so polite in this situation if you were me?
You traitor.
That wouldn't be so easy.
Not only did you betray us, but you came back so shamelessly.
It's not that I'm shameless.
I'm not shameless…
(clears throat)
I'm not shameless. I wanted to live a quiet life...
Shut that mouth of yours.
I'm already so angry.
I can see how you could be… I'm sorry.
MUJANG: Mr. Cheon!
Mr. Cheon!
Please move aside.
Mr. Sa!
Mr. Cheon!
It's been a long time.
- Take that! - (thuds)
- Are you even a man? - Are you a man?
I'm sorry. I really am.
Cheers.
- (clears throat) - (sighs)
Mr. Cheon, at least tell us the truth.
Why…
did you leave us?
I didn't leave you, technically speaking.
I left a letter…
Didn't you see the letter?
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding.
JIHUN: Goodbye, Ms. Baek. Tease-ya.
P.S. Please take care of the fish.
No, not that.
That was a joke.
There was another letter.
I put a lot of thought into that.
Stop joking around and tell me.
Ah...
All right then.
I will get serious.
It was Cha Minchul.
Cha Minchul killed Juyeong.
After the party, I followed Cha Minchul into his office.
I met Cha Minchul there.
Mm.
I wanted to kill him.
No.
I almost killed him.
(breathes deeply)
I don't know. I think I was confused.
I was confused about myself,
and the basis of my judgment too.
That's why I left.
I needed some time to think.
After my thoughts were sorted,
when I could make an appropriate judgment about the punishment,
I planned to return then.
I'm sorry.
(mellow music)
(sighs)
Okay, I can understand how you felt.
I understand.
But could you just leave us like that?
Don't we mean anything to you?
Do you know how I was doing since you left?
Well, I…
I don't know why I'm acting like this.
I was hoping that you would go through it with us.
I really don't know why I'm acting this way.
After you left…
I was heartbroken.
(gentle music)
I'm sorry. I will leave first.
(gentle music continues)
But could you just leave us like that?
Don't we mean anything to you?
I don't know why I'm acting like this.
I was hoping that you would go through it with us.
MUJANG: You always fight for your clients.
This time,
I'm going to fight for you, Mr. Cheon.
GOODBYE, MS. BAEK! TEASE-YA P.S. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THE FISH
JIHUN: There was a time you asked me,
"Why do you charge only 1,000 won?"
To be honest, I don't know the reason.
I want to find the reason.
What's left with me was not a conviction or a sense of justice.
I realized not too long ago that it was actually revenge.
I'm sorry, Ms. Baek.
When I find the true meaning of 1,000 won,
I will return then.
Please wait until then.
(gentle music fades)
(door closes)
(gasping)
You're back!
What?
Mr. Cheon!
(exclaims, chortles)
- Mr. Cheon! - Wait.
- I'm not really back yet... - CHO: Mr. Cheon?
- Ms. Cho, Mr. Cheon is here! - It's been a long time.
What? Are you back?
Well, I'm not exactly back, but...
Oh, my goodness! It's good to have you back.
I'm so happy.
Yes, and your monthly rent.
You have to pay your rent.
How much is left?
KOONGMIN BANK DEPOSIT 15,000,000 WON
Hmm.
MS. CHO: It's true.
You are all caught up with rent. You even paid the interest.
Mr. Cheon, did you win the lottery?
Is that why you came back?
(laughs)
Anyway, I won't have to yell at you about the rent anymore.
I will go. Have a good day.
(giggles)
- Mr. Cheon. - Yes?
I'm glad you're back.
- (laughs) - See you later.
Mr. Cheon. Where did you get that much money?
My legal fees may be 1,000 won, but not my bank account.
Mr. Sa, I was going to tell you someday.
- MARI: Then how much do you have? - (door closes)
Mm…
Ms. Baek, you're here.
I think Mr. Cheon has a lot of money.
MARI: I thought so.
Why are you here, Mari?
Do you have business here?
You just left yesterday.
Maybe I was a bit harsh yesterday.
Hmm.
I'm here to see Mr. Sa.
Hmm?
I see, you're here to see Mr. Sa.
But I'm glad you're here. I have something to tell you both.
Come in closer.
- That's not important. - It's important.
Mr. Cheon seems to have a lot of money.
He paid all of the rent at once, plus interest.
- Yes. - Yes? Did you already know?
Then you should have told me.
Mr. Cheon, exactly how much money do you have?
Money… I spent two billion buying Kim Minjae's painting.
- Let's see how much is left… - Wait.
You don't have money for rent, but had enough to buy a painting?
That's not my money. It's my late mother's money.
Don't speak so easily.
I'm sorry.
I mean, you had money to pay rent. Why did sneak around not paying it?
It's because of that.
LEGAL FEE: 1,000 WON
(sighs)
I thought there was a reason for that.
So the 1,000 won legal fee
wasn't set by you, but by Ms. Lee Juyeong?
That's correct.
I know, it's weird.
But it was my way…
to try and understand what she was thinking.
I'm sorry.
Our legal feel will continue to be 1,000 won,
but I don't think we need to run this place on 1,000 won.
Ms. Baek, what did you learn by providing legal service for 1,000 won?
(light music)
As for me,
I learned so many things that words…
can't express.
But I will leave that as just an image in my mind.
I will now free myself of the loss
and live an honest life.
Then are you…
Yes, you're right.
The appropriate punishment you mentioned,
I think I can make that judgment now.
So, that's what I mean. Listen.
Gather around.
Listen to me carefully.
What do you think
about getting back together?
I don't think you heard me right.
What do you think
about getting back together?
(sighs)
What do you think?
Mr. Sa, you shouldn't be like this.
I'm good with that.
I'm good with that too.
- Hey! - Yeah!
Great. Mari, what about you? Aren't you good too?
What about you? Aren't you good too?
Yeah!
No, thank you. It's too late.
You left on a whim and you want to come back on a whim.
No, I won't. It's too late.
(scoffs)
I wasn't going to say this,
but you should quit taking those random cases.
Even if you're at Law Firm Baek,
and you are the Outstanding Lawyer of the Year,
that place doesn't suit you.
How did you know I was the Outstanding Lawyer of the Year?
How do you think I knew?
I have great interest in you.
As a teacher, I am interested in what my student is doing.
I was keeping track.
Mari, as long as you don't waiver,
this world…
can be changed by you.
I will help you.
Have faith in me.
(snorts)
- Did you laugh? - Sorry.
Did you laugh at such an inspiring speech? Wasn't it cool?
It was good except for the last part.
(uplifting music)
You do it yourself.
I'm leaving.
It's ten times more.
- What is? - Aah.
Cheon, one thousand, is ten times more than Baek, one hundred.
Mari.
It suits you better to be with me, Cheon,
than with Baek.
Hmm.
Mari, I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
(sentimental music)
Hmm?
Hmm.
(exclaims, laughs)
Welcome back, Attorney Cheon Jihun.
Yes. Thank you, Ms. Baek.
(chuckles)
Welcome back, Attorney Cheon Jihun.
Welcome back!
What are we doing here?
He didn't even explain.
Why do you keep looking at your phone...
It is the era of the internet.
We should promote online and do some online marketing as well.
Let's become more successful.
Now that you're back, Ms. Baek. Hmm.
- Mr. Cheon. - Yes?
I'm not a probationary employee anymore. I am now a lawyer. Attorney Baek.
Yes, a lawyer. Let's go, Ms. Baek.
Hmm?
A lawyer.
I'm not a probationary employee, but a lawyer.
A lawyer. You're not a probationary employee.
It's on the 11th floor, Ms. Baek.
The photo looks great.
Why do you care so much?
Let me see.
Let's have a look. Seriously.
I see!
You're trying to promote it on social media.
Did you know how to do that?
Hmm. I am a huge fan of social media.
I am an expert on social media.
Take a look. Look.
Attorney Cheon Jihun. Doesn't it look nice?
And I also made a lot of friends. There are 28 of them.
These are all my friends.
This one. This friend is…
Isn't she pretty?
I heard she's very popular these days.
I can send a message to her.
- I am Cheon Jihun... - Wait, Mr. Cheon.
- Yes? - She can't see it even if you send it.
If she were to see the message, she has to follow you as well.
That's what they call Matfol.
- What? - Matfol.
- Matfol? - Yes.
(chuckles)
Ms. Baek, it's not Matfol.
It's "follow." It's English.
So silly.
Ms. Baek…
(in English) …follow me.
MARI: Where is this place?
We're here for a case.
- A case? - Yes.
Did we get a case already?
It's not already.
I finally feel ready.
Let's go.
- MINCHUL: Three, four, five, six… - (door opens)
…seven, eight, nine…
I told you not to come in...
(upbeat music)
Hi, Cha Minchul.
What…
What are you doing…
It's been a long time.
Have you been well?
I missed you.
