This is the lawyer, Gong Suk-ho.

Say hello to him.

Do-joon,

Tuck your shirt in.

That side, too.

It looks better this way.

Does it?

Are you getting

along well enough here?

Yes,

the food is good.

The rice with beans

is better than I thought.

Rice with beans?

That's what prisoners eat.

Do-joon!

The most important thing is

what you remember that night.

However small a detail,

just tell him what you can think of.

You understand?

What you saw, what you heard,

even what you smelled,

tell him everything in detail.

Anyway, you need to try

really hard to remember.

That's your only task in here.

Isn't that right?

Right.

Yes, do this.

Is this some kind of exercise?

No, we call it

the Temples of Doom.

From childhood,

whenever he does this

it helped him remember.

- So for memory?

- Yes, for memory.

Yes, it's some kind of,

what do you call it...

acupressure.

Oh, I remember!

What?

I didn't do it.

It wasn't me!

That's right!

Of course you didn't kill her.

No,

not that.

I didn't kick it off, the mirror!

On the Benz... Jin-tae...

It was Jin-tae who did it.

I went whoosh!

And he went crunch!

Sir.

Let me explain.

What he is saying is...

It's a long story.

Wait!

I just got an urgent message

from the office.

I need to go.

Then what about us?

For a first meeting,

this is enough.

- Should I Call you?

- I'll call you.

Then when will you call?

Sir...

What?

Did he leave?

He doesn't like us, does he?

He's a very busy man.

The most expensive lawyer

in our county.

Damn, wasn't there

anything else to tell him?

I should have said more.

Right, who cares about

the mirror?

But, you mean

it was Jin-tae who did it?

I knew it.

That rotten little scoundrel.

That jerk never came

to visit me even once.

But Do-joon,

that night, didn't you go out

to meet Jin-tae?

Then you never met him.

And the golf balls,

he knew about those, right?

Good afternoon.

I've come to see Attorney Gong.

He's not in now.

His car is outside.

He's really not here.

He is, isn't he?

Oh, Mr. Gong! Excuse me!

Oh, look who's here!

- Sir, I...

- Yes?

- Miss Kim, some green tea!

- What I'd like to say is...

If he's here, why can't I...

Ma'am,

would you prefer coffee?

To be honest,

about your case,

we are proceeding

slowly and methodically.

Here, have some.

I understand you feel impatient.

But what can we do?

You just need to wait patiently.

But we need to open an investigation

on Do-joon's friend, Jin-tae!

Ma'am!

Let me be honest with you.

In monetary terms,

if this were Seoul,

the fee we're charging

wouldn't cover an assault case

involving two broken teeth.

You should understand that.

This is Jin-tae's house.
