Yes!
Again?
You won again?
-Call. -I'll take these away for you.
-Hang on. -Oh, thank you.
Lighter!
Okay.
Patron number four.
Patron number four, your coffee is ready.
What will be the fourth lucky number?
The fourth lucky number is…
Number 38.
Yes!
We will continue and draw
-the fifth number. -I have 18. Jeez.
And the fifth number is…
Number nine.
-I have it. Number nine. -Let me read off the numbers again.
Gosh, I had a dream last night that I’d get lucky.
I guess it meant nothing.
These are the numbers so far.
For the last number of the 1,011th lottery.
The sixth lucky number is…
The last ball will be drawn any moment now.
The sixth lucky number is…
The sixth lucky number is number 26!
Number 26, the sixth lucky number!
-Jeez, five thousand won. -We're drawing the bonus ball
for second place.
The bonus ball is number 42!
No way!
-The numbers are all in. -What?
All right. The lucky numbers of the 1,011th lottery draw
-are numbers one, thirty-five, twelve, -What is going on?
thirty-eight, nine, and twenty-six.
And the number of the bonus ball for second place is 42.
-First place! -First place!
First place!
Life really can change overnight!
First place!
CASE 11: MR. SALT, MS. PEPPER, AND ATTORNEY SOY SAUCE
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.
Hey, Attorney Woo.
What are you doing here?
I wanted to see you.
What?
I waited here because I wanted to see you.
Then you should have called me over.
I almost walked right past you.
Well…
I waited to see you and I did.
I see. So that's all you needed?
I can see your desk from the window of my office.
I got curious because you hadn't come even though
it was 12 minutes past the usual time you arrive.
Hello.
Yes, Attorney Woo.
Come up to the conference room on the 17th floor.
We have a client meeting about a new case.
Yes, okay.
I…
You have to go?
-Yes. -I'll see you at lunch then?
Yes.
Attorney Woo, is it manageable?
Sorry?
Is it manageable?
Is what manageable?
What?
Well…
I was wondering if anything was bothering you.
Well…
I do have concerns, but I can't tell you because it's personal.
Personal?
What is it?
The concerns of a Hanbada attorney are the concerns of Hanbada as a whole.
They are also my concerns as CEO.
It's okay. You can talk to me.
When you kiss, you have to open your mouth
so that your front teeth don't knock against each other.
But it's hard to breathe like that.
I'm concerned about whether or not there is a way to kiss
and breathe at the same time.
I see.
That is your concern.
Excuse me, where's the conference room?
It's up the stairs.
Thank you.
-You can put me down now. -Jeez, just stay put.
-You have to go up the stairs. -So what?
-You're going to break your back. -The firm…
is a bit weird.
-My back's fine. -I'm not fine with it.
Is it this one? No, it's not.
Where could it be?
Isn't it that one?
Gosh, it's nice here.
Is it this one? It is.
-Now put me down. -The floor is cold.
Stay there until I put you down in a chair.
Gosh, this is so embarrassing.
Yes, come in.
-Hello. -Hi.
Hello.
Attorney Woo, come in.
You're an attorney too.
Yes, hello. I'm Woo Young-woo.
Whether it's read straight or flipped, it's still Woo Young-woo.
Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.
Are you unwell? Should I see if there's a wheelchair you can use?
No.
This is my wife, and one of her heels broke off on our way here.
-I told you to put me down. -I said the floor is cold.
-Please take a seat over here. -Thank you.
Thank you.
-Be careful. -Okay.
My wife wore heels to visit you,
but they were so worn
that one broke right off on our way here.
I can't even buy her a new pair of heels.
All I've done is give her a hard time.
It's because I usually don't have an occasion to wear heels.
-Sit. -Yes, take a seat.
Yes, thank you.
It's nice to see how you care for your wife.
You are like a pair of mandarin ducks.
Gosh, please.
Since I don't make a lot of money, the least I can do is be good to her.
But actually, mandarin ducks are not that loving to each other.
During the mating period, the male mandarin duck
stays with the female and builds a nest together.
But once that period is over, the male leaves for another female,
leaving the female mandarin duck to raise the babies on her own.
What brings you here?
Right.
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.
And one of us actually did win first place.
Gosh, that's amazing!
"Gosh, that's amazing."
Amazing, right?
It sure is amazing, but…
Men become fools in the face of money.
The bastard who won first place
suddenly went off the grid.
So I went to his house.
But he said he never made such a promise.
He was completely shameless.
He said he won't share a single penny.
Did you only talk about promising to divide the prize?
Did you not put what you promised in writing or record it?
No, nothing like that. We only talked about it.
Then it won't be easy to prove that the promise was made.
If you don't mind me asking, how do the three of you know each other?
Well…
They're his gambling buddies.
-Gambling? -Gambling?
Yes.
I frequented gambling houses.
The lottery tickets were also bought with the stakes.
You're talking about illegal gambling houses, right?
Yes.
Would that be some kind of an issue?
Yes, it could be an issue.
Especially the part about how the ticket was bought with gambling money.
As you know, gambling is an illegal act that goes against the social order.
So the court may consider the promise itself to be invalid.
What kind of law is that?
Gambling and a promise are two different matters.
"Article 103 of the Civil Law. A juristic act that can be described
as contrary to good morals and other social order shall be null and void."
According to this law, you don't have to pay off gambling debts.
Gambling itself is an illegal act that goes against the social order,
so the law does not protect the promise to pay off gambling debts.
The lottery prize is over 6.2 billion won.
Even after taxes, it's 4.2 billion.
If we split it 3 ways, my cut is 1.4 billion.
I'll bring the other person who didn't get his share to Hanbada.
If you represent us together, it would be a lawsuit worth over 2.8 billion.
I can't pay you at the moment,
but as soon as we win the trial…
What was it?
The…
-The contingency fee! -Right!
I'll pay you plenty!
Well, it's not about the commission fee.
As I said, I'm just letting you know that this case may not even be legally valid.
Then can't we say that the lottery tickets were not purchased with the stakes?
-Excuse me? -Excuse me?
I mean, the other friend and I can agree to say--
Are you saying you're going to lie?
In court?
You can't!
My husband isn't into gambling because he likes it.
He's actually a very diligent person.
After we got married,
he opened up an internet cafe, but lost all our money
because he was conned by his partner.
That's when he started gambling to make up for it.
You saw how he carried me on his back here, right?
He might be a gambler, but he's a good husband to me
and a sweet dad to our kids.
Yes, it seems so.
But as I said--
Attorney Jung, we have a connection.
You're the son of the acquaintance of my third aunt's friend.
Yes, I heard that you are the niece of my mother's acquaintance's friend.
I really need the 1.4 billion won.
My husband and I have been married for 15 years.
Our kids are 13 and 11 already.
We've never had a proper house, so we’ve always been moving around,
living on what I make from my gimbap shop.
Given my unfortunate life, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Please.
Please…
Please help my family.
Please, help us.
Here's your seaweed sushi.
Thank you.
Is Su-yeon doing well?
What?
Jeez.
Do you have no pride? Why would you ask about someone who ran away from you?
Su-yeon ran away?
You didn't hear about the blind date from the angel?
All she said was that it didn't work out.
That's it?
Gosh, she's a good person.
She's a real angel.
She didn't expose Hairy's atrocious behavior.
-"Atrocious behavior"? -Yes.
Apparently, the first thing he said to her was "I'm Kim Min-sickly prickly."
Jeez, anyone would've gone nuts!
Were you possessed by the spirit of a lame dad?
He cracked dad jokes, thinking he was so funny.
I mean, I'm usually not like that.
But I guess I was particularly nervous that day.
"Dad jokes"?
Hairy, tell me what you said that day.
Well…
"Orange" you glad you came out tonight?
And?
I'll go with the gorgonzola cheese pizza, hoping it'll be "grate."
And?
If you eat bananas, will you find me "a-peeling"?
Absolutely nuts!
Jeez. You're so frustrating.
Right.
Are these jokes that use words with similar pronunciations?
I think they're funny.
-Seriously? -Really?
I see.
Then the food jokes were the problem, right?
The angel is an attorney.
So you should have made attorney jokes to an attorney.
"Attorney jokes"?
All right.
The thread and the needle were fighting and the police arrested the thread.
Do you know why?
No.
Because the needle
sewed the thread.
-"Sewed"? -Yes.
I get it!
Sued!
It's funny, right?
Ma'am…
Eight vowels, eleven consonants, an exclamation mark,
and a comma appeared in court today.
Because…
they are due to be sentenced next week.
"Sentenced next week"?
I get it!
"Sentenced next week."
You should have used this!
-I should have. -Seriously.
What a shame.
-More. -More?
-There's no more. -What?
He probably doesn't have more.
JONG-GWON
Hi, Jong-gwon.
Hi, Su-yeon. Can you step out for a second?
-What? -I'm outside your firm.
Step outside real quick and let me see you.
Right.
I'll be right down.
What are you doing here? This was unexpected.
And what's that behind your back?
I have something in my right hand and my left hand.
Which one do you want to see first?
Left hand?
It's a "good-for-your-body cocktail."
A "good-for-your-body cocktail"?
You said you felt a cold coming.
I was just going to make you honey water,
but I ended up adding things that are good for the body.
You can call it honey water with lemon, yuzu,
lime, mint, cinnamon, and turmeric.
Honey water with lemon, yuzu, lime, mint, cinnamon, and turmeric?
-How does it taste? -Taste?
Well, it's awful.
It's just like medicine.
I'll enjoy it even if it tastes awful.
What's in your right hand?
In my right hand…
I don't really know its exact name.
It's called marigold, French marigold,
or calendula, but I just bought it because I like the meaning of it.
What does it mean?
"Happiness that will surely come."
It's so pretty.
If you put it in water, it will bloom in about three days.
Watch your head.
Hello. Can we go in?
Come in.
Why are you here so early? We're not even open yet.
Who's this?
She's an attorney.
I'm in the middle of a lawsuit for the lottery prize.
Is Ashtray here? Can you go get him for me?
Gosh. You're an attorney.
-Would you like some coffee? -No. I'm okay.
Byeong-gil!
Is that the person who'll be testifying?
No. She's Coffee Shop. The kid who'll be testifying is Ashtray.
"Coffee Shop"? "Ashtray"?
The person who sells coffee here is called Coffee Shop,
and the person who runs small errands is called Ashtray.
There he comes. Ashtray.
Over here.
I'll get straight to the point.
Do you remember the day you went on that errand to buy lottery tickets?
Park Seong-nam, Yun Jae-won, and I pooled our stakes together and asked you
to go buy some lottery tickets.
Yes, you won first place that night.
Yes, right.
Did you hear how we promised to split the prize?
Yes.
I heard you say,
"If one of us wins,
we'll split it evenly no matter what."
Evenly?
Yes.
There were three of them, so three ways.
Can you testify what you just said in court?
What?
Testify in court?
No.
There's not much to it. All you have to do is repeat what you just said.
I've never done something like that before.
-Things are busy here too, so I… -No, wait!
Hey. There are billions on the line and you're worried about this place?
Please help me.
If you testify,
I'll give you a lot of money, enough for you to quit this job.
What? You can't give him a lot of money.
Agreeing to provide travel expenses or excessive benefits that exceed
the typical expenses makes that testimony invalid
as it falls under the illegal acts contrary to social order.
Attorney Woo!
We came here to convince him together, right?
And why can't I give him money? It's my money.
It's not like I'm asking him to lie. I'm just asking him to tell the truth!
You can't!
Have you forgotten Article 103 of the Civil Law already?
Jeez, Attorney Woo!
You should know when to be flexible!
-I have to get back to work now. -No, wait.
Wait.
Please testify for me.
I'll give you enough for you to quit…
I mean, even if it's not that,
I'll return the favor, big time.
Within the bounds of civil law.
Nothing excessive.
Jun-ho.
Yes?
What's wrong?
She's been like that for a while now. She's freaking me out.
Jun-ho.
Yes.
It's about the Jaejin Construction apartment defect lawsuit.
Yes.
How many credit transfer documents did they get from the residents?
I think from around 400 households.
Jeez, that's not even half.
The resident representatives are working as fast as they can,
but things aren't really moving ahead.
We still have a long way to go.
Why don't you get involved?
I was actually planning to go tomorrow.
The plaintiffs claim that there is an agreement between the defendant
and the plaintiffs on the distribution of the lottery prize.
However, the defendant denies the existence of such an agreement.
Even if there is such an agreement,
it is merely a light joke that was made
while imagining the very rare situation of winning the lottery,
not a legal act with validity.
The defendant and the plaintiffs didn't even put the said agreement in writing
nor did they specify the ranking of the lottery tickets that were to be divided.
When the defendant won first place,
Shin Il-su, one of the plaintiffs, also won fifth place.
Now, which of the award money should be divided?
Were any specific decisions made about this?
What?
Wait.
Are you saying that it's a problem that we didn't split 5,000 won?
I'll share it right now then. We'll split it right now.
Hey, let's split this.
Okay, 5,000 won. If you divide this by 3, how much is it?
Well, 5 times 1 is 5, 5 times 2 is 10, 5 times 3 is 15. 1,500…
What? No.
To be exact, it's 1,666.6666--
I don't care how much it is. Let's just split it.
-We'll split it in front of the judge. -I'll pay.
-How many coins do you have? -Plaintiffs, what are you doing?
Order.
-Put that away. -Okay.
-And take a seat. -Okay.
Defendant's counselor.
Do you have anything else to say?
Yes, Your Honor.
As I said before, the agreement that the plaintiffs are claiming
was not put in writing
nor was there anything regarding the legality of the act.
Therefore, it is invalid.
Your Honor.
Oral agreements are also agreements and are legally binding.
The defendant and the plaintiffs promised that no matter who won the lottery,
the prize would be split evenly three ways.
Then, it's fair to say that they decided to divide
all the lottery tickets they won that day.
Whether it's first place or fifth place,
it's obvious that there's no need to specify the ranking.
I understand the argument for both sides.
But the issue at hand is whether or not
there really was a joint distribution agreement.
Plaintiff's counselor. You filed for a witness in this regard, right?
Yes, Your Honor.
At the time of the incident, the defendant and the plaintiffs
gave money to a guy to buy their lottery tickets.
We call Mr. Han Byeong-gil as a witness--
Not at this time.
I apologize.
Not at this time?
I can't get in touch with Mr. Han.
He's an undocumented Korean Chinese immigrant,
so I think he went into hiding because he might get deported if he testifies.
Plaintiff's counselor?
Yes, I'm sorry.
The witness we summoned, Mr. Han, is not able to come today.
So I think we're going to have to review another witness.
May we reapply for another witness?
So…
Is there anyone else who would have heard your promise?
If there's no one else, we can just make one up, right?
I mean,
we'll give them some money.
What?
Are you saying you're going to buy a fake witness and make them commit perjury?
You can't.
Then what are we supposed to do?
You should know when to be flexible.
Gosh, there is someone who would have heard.
There were so many people at the gambling house that day.
You think none of them would've overheard?
There must be someone who heard us.
We'll find another witness. Don't worry.
-Okay. -It's 1.4 billion won--
-There should be someone. -She's so frustrating.
-There should be someone. -It's not a small amount of money.
There's someone.
-There is? -Yes.
-Gosh, how frustrating. -I said there is.
Attorney Woo, gather more material that would be advantageous for us.
We didn't get there today, but the point of this case
is whether the agreement to divide the prize of a lottery that was bought
with gambling money is legally valid or not.
Look into Juristic Acts Contrary to Social Order, Performance for Illegal Cause,
and other things related to illegal acts.
Yes, okay.
INCOMING VIDEO CALL ATTORNEY WOO
Hello?
Attorney Woo, I can't really see your face.
I can see your face well.
I see.
Let me look at your face too.
Just hold the phone a bit farther away.
Right.
Yes, I can see you now.
You're still in the office, right? You must be exhausted.
Yes. I'm going to hang up now.
What?
Then why did you call me?
Because I wanted to see you.
I called you because I wanted to see you and I did.
Right, so that's it then? Since you got what you wanted?
Yes.
But…
what about how I feel as the person who answered the call?
From now on, please ask if I want to hang up too.
I'm sorry.
Do you want to hang up?
No.
I see.
Let's talk just a little bit more.
-Okay. -Well…
Do you have anything you want to tell me?
Not about work or whales, but just small talk?
Well…
The thread and the needle were fighting
and the thread was taken to the police station.
Do you know why?
Because the needle sewed the thread?
Correct.
Eight vowels, eleven consonants, an exclamation mark,
and a comma appeared in court today, because…
They are due to be sentenced next week.
Maybe it's because you're telling them,
but even dad jokes are funny.
Yes, they're funny.
You should get back to work now, right?
Should we hang up?
Right.
Yes.
Well…
But…
You keep popping into my head
like whales.
Even though you're not one.
This is the first time I've constantly thought of someone,
so it's quite strange.
The defendant still denies the existence of the agreement.
And even if there is an agreement,
it's a distribution agreement for the prize of a lottery ticket
that was bought with gambling money, which is a criminal act.
This falls under Article 103
of the Civil Law Juristic Acts Contrary to Social Order.
Thus, it is invalid.
Gambling is gambling, and an agreement is an agreement.
Just because gambling money was used to purchase the lottery ticket
does not mean the agreement to share the prize can be considered
invalid due to violations of good morals and other social orders.
For example, in a case where a secret fund was entrusted to someone else to hide,
there is a Supreme Court ruling that says,
"Even if the secret fund was illegally created by acts contrary to social order,
the act of entrusting money to others should not be seen
as a Juristic Act Contrary to Social Order."
There are many precedents that support the defendant's claim as well.
A financial institution gave a loan to an illegal entertainment business employee,
and the loan agreement was considered as a Juristic Act Contrary to Social Order
in violation of Article 103 of the Civil Law.
Thus, this case received the verdict of being invalid.
Even in this case, are the plaintiff's counselors still going to consider
the illegal entertainment business and a loan agreement as different matters?
Isn't it more appropriate to view that case as being invalid
due to the violation of Article 10 of the Act on the Punishment of Arrangement
of Commercial Sex Acts than Article 103 of the Civil Law?
Since there is a clear clause that says, "Any claims held to a person who has
engaged in acts of selling sex shall be invalidated
regardless of the form or title of the contract."
You can't compare that case to the joint distribution agreement of this case!
I understand the argument for both sides.
In actuality, the expression of "good morals and other social order"
itself is abstract.
That being said, whether this case falls under Article 103 of the Civil Law or not
will be judged based on specific points.
For that to happen,
we first need to know whether this agreement exists or not.
Plaintiff's counselor.
Are you sure that the witness you filed for today is present?
Yes, Your Honor.
The witness, Ms. Choi Da-hye, is already in this courtroom.
Okay, then. Witness.
Step 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."
Plaintiff's counselor, you may begin questioning the witness.
Okay.
You sold coffee at the gambling house
where the defendant and plaintiffs used to go to, right?
-Yes. -And do you know Mr. Han Byeong-gil,
who used to run small errands at the same gambling house, well?
I wouldn't say I know him well. We were just coworkers.
If I made the coffee, Byeong-gil would serve it.
On the day of the incident, Mr. Han cashed in some of the stakes
per the request of the defendant and the plaintiffs
and went out and bought lottery tickets for them.
Witness, were you aware of this?
Yes.
I saw Byeong-gil leaving, so I asked where he was going.
And what was Mr. Han's response?
That he was getting lottery tickets as an errand for table three.
Table three is where the defendant and the plaintiffs were seated, correct?
Yes.
So I asked, "Why lottery tickets?" and he laughed and said,
"If one of them wins, it's going to be split evenly no matter what."
That's a damn lie!
Ashtray said all that without you asking?
Defendant, don't interrupt during witness questioning.
Your Honor, this is all a lie!
This woman and Shin Il-su are seeing each other.
She's in on this!
What?
What did you just say?
What kind of nonsense are you blabbering right now, you bastard?
Hey! Do you have proof?
Do you have proof that they are seeing each other?
Stay out of this, you bastard!
I should beat you up with this mouse.
Order in the court.
Witness, is what the defendant said true?
Are you giving false testimony because of your relationship with the plaintiff?
What?
No.
Mr. Shin Il-su and I are not seeing each other.
I'm just telling you exactly what Byeong-gil said.
All right. Plaintiff's counselor, continue with the questioning.
You brat. Lying whenever…
I will resume questioning.
An elite like Tae Su-mi was in university for six years?
And the Jeongui Ilbo reporter caught a whiff of this.
MEMBERS
What should I do with this?
-I'm home. -Hey.
Young-woo, just a moment.
Well…
I was wondering.
Is there anything you want from me?
Anything Dad can do for Young-woo?
"Anything Dad can do for Young-woo?"
Well, let's see.
Maybe you wanted me to find you a doctor or counselor who specializes in autism
to take exclusive care of you.
Sometimes,
I thought it would be nice to have a doctor or counselor like that.
I see.
When it was too difficult for me to know what others were thinking or feeling,
when I didn't understand how I was feeling,
or when I got anxious because there was a sudden loud noise while I was working.
Every time something like that would happen,
I wanted to hear expert advice on how to handle these situations
or hear about the experiences of others with autism.
Why didn't you tell me any of this?
Did you think I wouldn't be able to afford it?
Well…
I'm not sure.
All right.
You must be tired. Head upstairs and get some rest.
Okay.
Now, for the verdict.
Formal adjudication. The defendant is ordered to pay
a total of 1,403,420,000 won to each of the plaintiffs.
And the litigation costs are to be paid by the defendant.
At the time of the agreement of this case, the plaintiffs and the defendant
had decided that the winning lottery ticket was subject to distribution,
regardless of the rank of the winning tickets.
Therefore, it cannot be said that there is no specific target for distribution.
Also, the agreement on the distribution of the prize can't be deemed invalid
merely based on the fact that the money used
to purchase the lottery tickets came from gambling money.
Four, conclusion.
Thus, the plaintiffs' claims are reasonable and should be cited,
so it is decided
-I know it was rough. -as per formal adjudication.
-Providing for me and the kids -Presiding Judge Park In-yeong,
-for all these years. -Judge Jung Hyeon-ju,
-I know how hard it was for you. -Judge Kim Eun-su.
Come in.
Gosh, Attorney Woo. Thank you.
Thanks to you, we won.
Yes, congratulations.
This is a department store gift card,
so you can treat yourself to something nice.
Well…
You already paid the contingency fee to Hanbada,
so you don't have to give me anything separately.
You said gambling is gambling and an agreement is an agreement, right?
A contingency fee is a contingency fee.
This is just a gift from me to you.
Jeez, it's not even that much.
No!
I can't take it.
Goodness.
All right.
The inflexible Attorney Woo.
Then…
Please,
accept this.
My wife made it.
Gimbap.
Did I not tell you my wife runs a snack bar?
-I guarantee that it'll be good. -Okay, thank you.
What?
Attorney Woo.
Can I ask you something?
Yes.
If…
you get a divorce after winning the lottery,
does the prize have to be divided as well?
It depends on the specifics,
but according to precedents so far,
it doesn't in most cases.
The division of assets
can be claimed for the assets jointly accrued by the couple,
but a lottery prize is entirely due to the luck of the winner
and is not subject to the division of assets.
So you're saying it doesn't have to be divided, right?
Yes. Why do you ask?
It's nothing. Someone asked me to inquire about it.
Gosh, I better get going.
Have a good day, Attorney Woo.
Thank you.
OH, RIGHT. THE FLOWERS WERE SO PRETTY.
I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, SU-YEON!
Gosh.
He's so cute!
Su-yeon, you've been through a divorce, right?
What?
Why would I have been through a divorce? I haven't even been married yet.
You've taken on divorce cases before.
Right. Yes.
If a man asked an attorney
about the division of assets in the case of a divorce,
did he have divorce in mind?
There's no way to know with just that inquiry.
Were there any other signs?
Well…
A finger heart.
The man held up a finger heart
to a woman who is not his wife.
Could they be seeing each other?
Are you talking about the client from the lottery case?
The one who came with his wife on his back?
I can't answer that question
because of attorney-client privilege.
Then…
Let's call them Mr. Salt and Ms. Pepper.
What?
So, Mr. Salt asked you…
I mean…
He asked Attorney Soy Sauce
about the division of assets in the case of a divorce, right?
Mr. Salt asked Attorney Soy Sauce?
Right, so…
Since you can't speak about the matter because of attorney-client privilege,
she's saying we should make up fake characters.
Like Mr. Salt, Ms. Pepper,
and Attorney Soy Sauce.
Right.
Fake characters.
Yes.
Mr. Salt asked me.
No, he asked Attorney Soy Sauce.
The question must have been about the lottery prize, right?
I can't answer if you ask like that.
Okay, let me rephrase it then.
It must have been a question about a peculiar property
that he acquired in his own name during his marriage, right?
Yes. To be exact, he asked me whether this peculiar property
is subject to a claim for division of assets in the event of a divorce.
I mean, he asked Attorney Soy Sauce.
-And Ms. Pepper has no idea? -No.
Is there anything that Mr. Salt promised Ms. Pepper?
For example, if he won…
I mean, perhaps he expressed his intention to give a conditional gift
to Ms. Pepper if he acquired a peculiar property.
It would be better if there was proof.
I'm not sure.
I would have to ask Ms. Pepper.
I haven't taken on a lot of divorce cases,
but ultimately, securing evidence is also the key to said cases.
If there's no evidence, it'll only turn into a psychological battle.
Like appealing to the judge's emotions about who is more pitiful.
But Attorney Soy Sauce cannot give
any legal advice to Ms. Pepper.
Right, because Mr. Salt was her client.
Attorney Soy Sauce must be in a difficult position.
HAPPY HOUSE
So what do you want us to do?
Are you saying we should at least tell Ms. Sung Eun-ji?
That we think Mr. Shin is planning to divorce her?
That way Ms. Sung can come up with her own contingency-
Who are you?
-What? -"Article 26 of the Attorney-at-law Act."
"No attorney or former attorney shall divulge any confidential matter
that he or she has learned in the course of performing his or her duties."
What happened to Attorney Woo Young-woo,
who was so strict about the law to the point where she was inflexible?
Ma'am, who are you?
What?
Mr. Shin Il-su was our client.
Who he sent a heart to and what he asked you…
Aren't all these the client's secrets?
Don't even think about saying a peep.
Especially to Ms. Sung Eun-ji.
Got it?
The gimbap made by Ms. Sung is special.
Because there's fried tofu inside.
Yes, I can taste it.
The Woo Young-woo gimbap that my father makes does not have fried tofu.
Fried tofu that is finely chopped and boiled down in soy sauce.
Savory…
and sweet.
Soft…
but rough.
Fried tofu!
Has fried tofu replaced whales?
So isn't it okay to go to Happy House to buy fried tofu gimbap?
That's not a violation of the Attorney-at-Law Act!
Why bother asking me if you were going to go anyway?
Why did she even come?
We are on our way to buy fried tofu gimbap,
not to violate the Attorney-at-Law Act.
Yes, of course.
Why?
-Why? -Honey!
It's my money to use!
Who are you to tell me what to do?
We have two kids!
We have two little kids who we have to provide for!
How can a father be so thoughtless?
Aren't you sick and tired of constantly having to move
because we don't have a house or a shop of our own?
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of your complaints!
Honey!
I'm so sick of them.
Are you okay?
You're from Hanbada.
What are you doing here?
Attorney Woo told me the fried tofu gimbap here is special.
We came to get gimbap and saw the two of you arguing.
He said he wants to buy this
with the money he gets from winning the lawsuit.
In our situation, does it make sense to get a car that costs over 300 million won?
Right.
It must be really hard for you.
My husband might have been a gambler,
but he was sweet and kind to me and the children.
That's the one thing that got me through to this day.
But how could a person change like that in an instant?
How much more do I have to take and wait
for him to come to his senses?
The sperm whale written about in Moby-Dick, the classic American novel.
This is the first time a sperm whale was seen in the East Sea…
You should know when to be flexible!
Excuse me, Attorney Woo?
No!
I'm not an attorney. I'm a customer.
One fried tofu gimbap, please.
As you can see, the ingredients are all on the floor, so I have to make them again.
Then please do that.
We will wait.
But…
Okay.
Take a seat over there.
-It'll take a while. -Okay.
Jun-ho.
Do you know the story
of Mr. Salt, Ms. Pepper, and Attorney Soy Sauce?
No, I don't.
Once upon a time, there lived Mr. Salt.
He married Ms. Pepper and recently acquired a peculiar property.
"Peculiar property"?
What's that?
It refers to an asset that one had before marriage
or an asset acquired in their own name during the marriage.
Peculiar properties are excluded from a division of assets claim
in the event of a divorce because each makes profits--
So…
For example, like the prize from winning the lottery?
Yes. That could be an example.
Mr. Salt wanted to know if he had to divide this peculiar property
if he were to divorce Ms. Pepper.
And Attorney Soy Sauce replied that he most likely wouldn't have to.
Excuse me.
Are you talking about my husband?
No.
I was talking to Jun-ho about Mr. Salt, Ms. Pepper, and Attorney Soy Sauce.
What do you mean he asked if he has to divide the prize
if he gets a divorce?
My husband wouldn't do that.
You might have misunderstood after seeing what just happened.
The day he won the lawsuit,
he promised he'd give me all of the prize
with tears running down his face.
We cried in each other's arms and he told me
that the kids and I would have a better life now.
Apparently, Mr. Salt promised to give Ms. Pepper
the whole prize while crying.
I heard this from Ms. Pepper.
Did Ms. Pepper have the promise put in writing or recorded?
Was the promise put in…
What kind of married couple does something like that?
Right. Apparently, there's none of that.
Can you let Ms. Pepper know that it's not too late?
She must at least find a witness who heard Mr. Salt making such a promise.
Evidence is necessary to receive
Mr. Salt's peculiar property!
Really?
You know, Su-yeon,
I'm personally not that interested in things like the lottery.
You're not?
Are you the type of person that's not fazed by money?
Well, not exactly…
I won the lottery.
What?
You're my lottery, Su-yeon.
Goodness.
Jong-gwon.
-I'm going to go use the restroom. -Okay.
-What? -Are you a doctor too?
Excuse me?
Or a prosecutor?
Attorney?
Judge, accountant, certified appraiser?
Who are you?
What's wrong with you?
Seeing as he brought you to this steak house,
it must be about two weeks since you met him, right?
Eat up today.
Today's most likely going to be the last day he spends his money.
And from now on, he'll keep saying he lost his wallet.
What are you saying right--
You still don't know what I'm saying?
That bastard, Lee Jong-gwon.
He only goes after women with elite jobs.
He's a bastard who uses women's feelings to take money from them.
He gave you flowers, right?
He probably went on about the meaning too.
Right.
Did you drink the "don't-get-sick cocktail"?
The honey water with all these ingredients mixed in.
-"Good-for-your-body." -What?
I had the "good-for-your-body cocktail."
Hey, Lee Jong-gwon.
You said you had to make money for your father's operation.
That's why you were going to work on a fishing trawler.
Does this look like a fishing trawler to you, you bastard?
Do you catch fish while you eat steak?
-Su-yeon, hold on. -Give me back my money.
Give me back my 50 million won you took for your supposed father's surgery!
Su-yeon, this is my business partner.
What business partner?
Hey, what did you use the money for? You said it was for your father's surgery.
-Su-yeon, wait. What's wrong with you? -What did you use it for?
-What's wrong with me? -Su-yeon, just a moment!
You really don't know?
-You're making a mistake right now. -Mistake?
Give me the most expensive drink here.
-Su-yeon, I can explain everything. -Excuse me? A drink?
You have so many bottles behind you. Give me the most expensive one.
That bastard will…
-I mean… -My father passed away.
He'll pay for it.
Hurry up!
All right.
Here you go.
Hey, Su-yeon. I'll see you on Wednesday. I'll call you. I can explain everything.
It really doesn't take long for a person to show their true colors.
Now, he's asking for a divorce outright.
He hits me
and smashes everything in the house.
He comes to the shop every day and gets in the way of my business.
Two days ago,
my oldest kid charged at him to try to stop him.
He even hit his own kid.
I can still picture how Mr. Shin came in here with you on his back.
His drastic change must be so hard for you.
I don't want to…
live with this kind of man anymore.
I made all the money,
did all the chores, and raised the kids all by myself anyway.
But I want to receive a proper division of assets.
That's why I came back to see you.
That man received the prize through his older brother's bank account
just in case I'd go after it.
He just doesn't want to share a single penny with me.
Has he ever made a promise
to share the prize with you before he changed all of a sudden?
You said last time that I needed proof.
-What? -Excuse me?
Well…
I had a customer at my shop who was also an attorney.
Right. Soy Sauce!
Attorney Soy Sauce.
"Soy Sauce"?
Yes.
Well, anyway, I tried to get proof like the other attorney told me.
I sent my husband texts
and tried recording our phone calls.
But he seemed to be onto me already
because he just played dumb and asked if I'm trying to get proof.
Then are there no witnesses?
Someone who heard him promising to split or give the prize to you.
No. We talked about it when we were alone.
I'm sorry to break it to you,
but we can't take on this lawsuit.
We already represented Mr. Shin Il-su in a different case.
And this case is relevant to that one.
Can we introduce you to another attorney who specializes in divorce?
And one who is good at it.
I would appreciate it.
But how do you feel about it?
Is there a possibility for me to get some of the prize?
You should talk to the attorney in charge about the specifics,
but my personal opinion is that
the chances of you legally winning are low.
As of right now, I think the best way would be to try to get as much alimony
and child support expenses as possible.
Thank you so much for the ride back.
We're just here to buy fried tofu gimbap.
I'll make them extra delicious for you.
Goodness.
You met with an attorney?
I should have known.
That's why you weren't signing the divorce papers.
So what?
Are you going to sue me?
Jeez, he's here early today.
Come here.
Come here!
Can we avoid him for now?
He's here to cause a scene to get me to sign the divorce papers.
-Yes, let's go back to the car. -Okay.
That little…
Attorney Woo, are you all right?
Ms. Sung.
Are you hurt?
Ms. Sung.
Honey!
-Honey! -Sir!
-Wake up! -Ms. Sung, it's dangerous.
-Honey! -Wait here while I call 911.
Honey!
-Somebody call 911, please! -Honey!
Oh, no. Ms. Sung!
Ms. Sung, please!
-Goodness. -Sir.
Ms. Sung, no!
-Please, it's dangerous! -Honey!
-Someone call 911!
-Honey! -Ms. Shin!
Attorney Woo. It's okay.
It's okay, Attorney Woo.
Tighter.
Ms. Sung Eun-ji came to see me and Attorney Jung today.
Really?
I haven't seen her since Mr. Shin's funeral.
Is she doing okay?
Yes, she didn't bring fried tofu gimbap
because she closed her shop for now,
but she had good news.
Ms. Sung and her kids will be inheriting the remaining 1.1 billion won
from the lottery prize that Mr. Shin left.
Because he was still married at the time of his death.
Gosh. So that’s how things turned out.
On top of that, they will receive 300 million won
from his life insurance.
So a total of 1.4 billion won.
The same amount that was distributed to him through the trial.
That 1.4 billion
really took a long way to find its owner.
I wanted to thank you for hugging me
when we witnessed
Mr. Shin's death.
Oh, that?
It's fine.
For people with autism--
Anxiety can be relieved if pressure is put on the body
during sensory overload, right?
Yes…
Yes, that's right.
In France, they have hug chairs for people with autism.
Hug chairs?
Yes, the back is blocked like this,
and when someone sits down, the inside of the chair swells up
and hugs the person really tight.
You can control the pressure with the remote control too.
Can I buy that chair in Korea?
Do you really have to buy one?
What?
I'll be one for you.
Your personal hug chair.
Come in.
Hello, Attorney Tae.
My name is Kwon Min-woo.
Thank you for making time for me.
From what I heard from my secretary, you left me no choice but to do so.
What on earth is the reason
you had to see me?
I would like to work for you at Taesan.
That's something you should talk to HR about.
Why don't you apply next year?
I'll be sure to remember your name, Attorney Kwon.
I work at Hanbada…
with Attorney Woo Young-woo.
You took a break from university during your senior year in 1995
and went back 2 years later in 1997.
You told people that you were leaving to study abroad,
but there are no specific records of that.
Most importantly, in 1996 while you were taking a break from school,
Attorney Woo was born.
What…
are you doing?
I'm trying to impress you, Attorney Tae.
I want to work at a firm where knowing the secrets of other people
can be my strength and weapon.
I want to work at a firm where attorneys know
how to take risks to win and to be political if needed.
The way I see it, Taesan is like that, but not Hanbada.
I don't want to become weak by working under a hypocritical senior lawyer,
who only pretends to be nice.
It's not enough to know other people's secrets.
You have to be capable.
I am capable.
Then show me.
You said you work with Attorney Woo, right?
-Yes. -Do you think you can make
Attorney Woo quit Hanbada?
Excuse me?
It doesn't matter if she quits or gets fired.
Why would you want that?
That's not your business.
If you make this happen, Attorney Kwon,
you'll become an attorney at Taesan…
working directly under me.
Yes, ma'am.
I understand.
"Employees who are married within the company
are eligible for voluntary resignation."
-Condemn! -She is loud.
I've never seen an attorney like her before.
All this was a trick that Hanbada taught Mir Life.
It's the judge's job to decide which side is socially just, not ours!
But attorneys are human.
Are we…
dating?
We're still not officially together?
That really…
just hurts me, you know that?
