The prosecutor hereby calls for a prison sentence of 10 month
1 month
Prosecutor, give your final testimony.
Well... Look at this picture.
Defendant Na Gongsun complained
about the non prosequitur, and protested
by urinating toward the Blue House.
Further,
he urged the people by groundless claims.
This is an obvious crime mocking
the juridical authorities.
I demand the defendant Na Gongsun
should be sentenced to...
He should be sentenced to...
Sentenced to...
1 month.
- 1 month? / - Is he kidding?
Not ten months, but one month?
You're lucky.
Do I look like a pushover?
I heard you dozed off during trial.
Well, at the moment...
I had something on my mind.
Do you know why you're still holding
onto that position?
Thanks to your dad.
Just eat.
- Well... / - Father.
Representative Jeong suggested
nomination for the general election.
I said no politics.
Our family is in the legal profession.
I allowed you to quit being a judge,
and to end up being a lawyer.
But no more.
Not me. You, father.
Sir, you can't do that.
I'm sorry.
Invincible Shoes
Invincible Shoes?
Excuse me.
Why keep doing that right behind me?
This stop is the Prosecutor's Office.
Oh, I'm getting off.
Invincible Shoes
Invincible Shoes?
Where's the owner?
When did it re-open?
I'm the new owner now.
I only clean shoes. No repairs.
That's a pity.
I didn't even say good-bye to the owner.
Are you going to have them cleaned or not?
Sure.
Where do you learn to do this?
Register at an academy?
It seems like a good job.
You don't have a boss to listen to.
You can order and eat when you like to.
And take a nap when you please.
Shining shoes seems nothing to you?
What?
No, not at all.
I was thinking of starting a business.
Hand them over.
This?
No, the shoes.
Here.
Here.
It's $5.
Yes, $5.
I need to shine my shoes.
It's $5.
Can I watch this before I go?
I'll come back later.
$5 now!
Is this a joke?
Affidavit
A bank robber caught in the act.
Just get him sentenced.
- Bank robber? / - You know,
Somang Bank across the street.
Oh my, is he stupid or being bold?
How could he rob a bank in front of
the Prosecutor's Office?
Defendant: Lee Changho
Loser, you bought new shoes?
They're expensive.
Come on, take them off.
They fit you perfectly.
Let me wear them for a few days.
You can wear these.
You don't like them?
Not at all.
They are a little small.
Just wear them.
I am...
a los...
Keep on writing.
I am a loser...
- What a loser! / - Hey, he's a loser.
Changho...
Why do you live like this?
Lee Changho, don't you recognize me?
It's me, Han Donggyu.
Myeongjin High School,
the stutterer and loser.
You know, I fell while cleaning the window,
and got exempted from cleaning.
The Jordan sneakers.
Remember? You do remember.
How are you?
Can't you see?
I see.
I turned out this way. Funny, right?
Anyways.
I have lots to ask.
But we'll be seeing each other often.
Why?
You want to bail me out?
That's...
But I can introduce a good lawyer.
You took the case? You're expensive.
It's as a public defender.
I'm doing this for a bigger cause.
Your elder brother is working this hard.
Don't you feel anything?
Here?
Where is it?
- Hello. / - Sir, where are you?
I'm at the bank, why?
That's strange,
did you go off to see the witness already?
Yes, the witness.
I'm here to meet the witness
not to find something.
But...
What's the name of the witness?
What?
Park Jeongmin?
Somang Bank
Mr. Park Jeongmin?
Hey, look who's here.
Donggyu, is it you?
I never thought the witness
Park Jeongmin was you.
I stated exactly what happened,
but I felt bad for him.
He must have been desperate to do that.
I don't think he knew it was you.
He didn't recognize me either.
I didn't know, either.
Well, we weren't close in high school.
Meeting after years under such circumstances,
I found out at the police station.
I know you'll do the right thing.
But what are friends for?
Try to plead mitigating circumstances.
Okay.
Isn't it strange?
Taking off the mask and
throwing away the gun?
It must have been hard by himself.
This is the mask and gun he had at the time.
It doesn't seem right.
Let's eat. Let's eat and talk.
Why did you rob a bank?
It looked cool.
Cool?
Right, it looks cool.
The report says you needed the money.
Who doesn't need money?
Hey, try this. It's really expensive.
So, why did you toss the gun?
Change of plans.
Did you quit when you recognized Jeongmin?
He's worried about you.
That was fast.
It's raining very heavily. I'm in a hurry.
If you don't return it,
I'll report you as a thief.
Listen.
Let's say someone committed a crime.
But he's not that kind of person.
Then, why did he do it?
Why ask me?
Ask a person who wouldn't do such a thing.
You're right.
Good luck. I mean, clean lots.
The defendant Lee Changho,
wearing a mask and carrying a gun,
pointed a gun at the clerk Park Jeongmin
during a robbery, and tried to steal cash,
but was arrested by the police in cash.
I mean, in the act.
The sky's so blue.
It makes me feel good.
I feel so comfortable whenever I'm here.
Was I a shoe shiner in the previous life?
You said you don't repair.
These are mine.
Come on.
Then, you really don't know how to repair?
Shining itself requires skills, you know.
Just looking at worn heels,
I know the wearer's spinal condition,
and every inch of their body.
Oh, I see.
Then, who taught you how to clean shoes?
From my father.
The former owner was my father.
Really?
Where is he now?
In prison.
What?
What crime did he commit?
I mean, what happened?
Will you get him out if you know?
Well, that's...
I think I can get that out.
Give it to me.
Come on, give it to me.
Lee Changho
Hankuk University Hospital
Anybody here?
Hey.
Hey!
Guys!
Wait up.
Guys.
Guys.
Wait up.
Stop! Wait, guys.
Wait up, please!
Please stop!
Gentlemen!
What's wrong?
Stop running!
We're not illegal immigrants.
We are factory workers.
What?
Why is the factory closed?
There was an accident, and the boss was hurt.
And things got bad.
Where was he hurt?
Never mind. He's well now.
When is our boss coming back?
I don't know that yet.
Anything else?
Boss said he got the money.
He told Shin not to worry
that he will give money to send home.
He needed money for his wife's surgery.
- Surgery? / - Yes, for his wife.
She was very sick,
and was in the hospital over a year.
Where is she now?
Not long ago...
She passed away.
- What? / - In next month...
we're having the 49th day after her death.
He said his friend at the bank
would lend him money for the surgery.
But she couldn't get the surgery.
Right, Changho did come for a loan.
But it's not my fault it wasn't granted.
I tried because he was my friend,
but he didn't qualify.
Then, why did you lie?
You said that was the first time you saw him.
If I told them he's my friend,
I'd be in trouble.
I thought he'd get disadvantages.
- So? / - So I said I'm sorry.
And he said he was sorry to put me
in that situation and left.
Did you know why he needed the money?
He only said the factory was in trouble.
So he tried to rob the bank
because he couldn't get the loan?
- What's this? / - Huh?
Isn't she your wife?
It's her, right?
I thought I brought the wrong one.
I heard about your wife.
Why didn't you tell the truth to the police?
You could have claimed
mitigating circumstances.
It doesn't make my crime go away.
Don't bother me anymore.
Jamil and Shin want to know
when you're coming back.
Hey, about Lee Changho...
Did you meet him afterwards?
What for?
Still...
Do you all remember the recent incident of
an armed man breaking into a police station?
Instead of seizing him, the police fled the area.
Now a prosecutor fleeing from a bank robber
has become an Internet controversy.
He said he would leave first and actually
pulled on my clothes.
His prosecutor badge fell off his shirt.
What a waste of taxpayer money.
Was that person really a prosecutor?
He looked like some kind of playboy,
and when he ran away...
Those people are a disgrace
to the public service.
They should be fired immediately.
You're just a shoe shiner in this small shop.
Clean these and bring them to
Kim Taekgi's office on the 5th floor.
Small or not,
I don't deliver to the Prosecutor's Office.
Hey!
Look, what will you do about this?
So I thought...
What if I do the delivery?
What joke are you playing?
You know who I am?
You said "Taekgi" a little while ago?
I'm on the 5th floor, too.
Are you a new director?
Taekgi? 5th floor?
I'll come back next time.
You're wrong thinking this is over.
- What? / - You became a prosecutor by lots?
You should compensate for the damage.
Oh, the compensation....
Here.
How can I wear these?
I'm not Cinderella.
I thought so. I was going to take them back.
What's your name?
Why?
So I can file a report
the next time I see you.
It's Han Donggyu.
And the accuser's name?
Oh Yuni.
But can you scribble on that?
Are you an artist?
No, I used to do art,
but couldn't make a living.
Hey.
What really happened to your father?
He was making a delivery on a bike,
and crashed into a car.
But the car belonged
to a high-level prosecutor.
Unluckily that day,
his son failed to enter college.
He shined prosecutors' shoes his whole life,
but stamped out by those shoes.
But why clean shoes at the same place?
You must be sick and tired of
prosecutors' shoes.
Some prosecutors are terrible.
But not all of them are.
My father used to say that.
Hey.
Do you know what my nickname is?
Loser. Unbelievable, right?
It's believable.
That's why I don't have any friends.
But a while ago...
I met a high school friend
as a defendant and a prosecutor.
It turned out that he's a bank robber.
The guy who isn't like that?
You don't know who he is, do you?
Even if he couldn't pay tuition
and wore a torn school uniform,
he was always confident.
He was always by himself.
But looked really cool.
Are you sure he did it?
Yes.
Hey.
Do people easily change?
Nobody knows.
Well, you changed a lot.
A loser became a prosecutor.
I turned out to be a prosecutor,
but it's no fun.
What do you really want to do?
Nothing in particular.
There's nothing I can do.
Maybe, a shoe cleaner?
Looks like fun.
I get paid to do this.
What is he made of?
Park Jeongmin is on leave now,
so another clerk checked it.
It seems he didn't apply for a loan.
You're right. No record of him applying.
Regardless of the approval,
it has to be in the system.
Then, the application he submitted?
I looked for it, but couldn't find it.
Ask the person in charge when he's back.
Listen.
I want all the CCTV from that day, please.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
Changho?
You're Lee Changho, right?
It's me, Park Jeongmin.
Myeongjin High School alumnus.
Here for a loan?
Great. I'm in charge of loans. Have a seat.
Loan Agreement
You have good hand-writing.
What do you need the money for?
The factory's in trouble, and the truth is...
It's our marriage invitation.
- Beautiful, isn't it? / - Yes.
He's my high school friend.
She's my fiance.
Hello.
You're getting married? Congratulations.
Though you were refused elsewhere,
don't worry and trust me.
If I'm putting you in an awkward position...
What are friends for?
Jeongmin, the money wasn't transferred.
I'm so sorry.
Things got complicated.
What do you mean?
I didn't get the approval.
There's nothing I can do.
Anywhere else you can borrow money from?
Are you kidding?
I'm busy, so let's talk later.
Hey, Park Jeongmin!
Right, Lee Changho. Do you remember?
You embarrassed me before.
You know, the loser's sneakers.
Nice.
- Don't step on them. / - As if they're yours.
He's here. You're scared of him, right?
- Stop it. / - Your hands shook.
I wanted to write it for him.
I said stop.
Bring them over.
- Leave them alone. / - Why?
I want to watch.
Let me go.
Hey, I'm sorry. Let go of me.
Honey. It's me.
I'm at the hospital and I'm bored.
How does my voice sound?
Isn't it sweet?
I want to lift your spirits with my voice.
Honey.
Everything will be fine from now on.
So let's stay strong, okay?
You can take it all.
Take it all.
I just need a friend to die with me.
Don't kill me.
Please don't kill me!
Hey!
What are you doing?
How do you want to pay back this time?
I don't need money.
Loser.
Korea's prosecutor is beating me up.
You want to get fired?
Do I look like a pushover to you?
You've grown up lots, Donggyu.
Don't you remember?
You were my meal ticket.
A meal ticket I used when I didn't have money.
You know what happened to Changho
because of you?
- Why is it my fault? / - What?
It's because of you.
Why didn't you punch me then?
Why act out when everything's over?
What did you say? They were just sneakers.
You got it wrong.
That's why you're a loser.
Just sneakers?
Don't kid yourself.
He really looks like a loser.
Really.
He should be embarrassed.
Look, there's a loser.
Isn't that Jeongmin in class 8?
- It's him. / - Move.
- Nice shoes. / - Loser.
Loser, getting on?
Don't kill me, please.
Jeongmin...
I just wanted to give back what's yours.
Thank you for returning them, loser.
Right.
I have something I want to return.
It's $5.
No cards. Pay back next time in cash.
You know...
The Lee Changho case...
Can't you make it right?
I'm doing it right.
Even if it's as a public defender,
the final trial's coming up soon.
But you never met him.
I looked into it,
and Lee Changho had his reasons.
Reasons?
Every criminal has their reasons.
This fish has its reason for
being on the table.
Living with that rotten mind,
that's why you always lose.
If your father was still on the job,
you'd be finished.
Right, father?
Yes, the president of the bank.
Father's right next to me.
Tell him I'm not here.
Well, I am getting ready to run myself.
Financial support? Please don't.
Oh, that robbery?
A bank's image is very important.
Don't worry.
I'll get it over with at the first hearing,
and no appeal.
Where are you going?
To visit my father.
And you?
A friend.
The guy who isn't like that.
Found out why he did it?
Hey.
Do you know a small thing from long ago
can yield a great result?
And if it's the worst possible result,
and if it's because of me, what should I do?
I wish I was a better person.
So what can I do now?
I don't know.
But I know a small thing right now
could lead to a great result later.
Life is a cycle.
You shouldn't have done it.
Changho's wife's 49-day memorial service
Honey. It's me.
The boss said not to tell.
He said if people found out,
the factory would go out of business.
I'm on my boss's side.
Sir, this...
Sir, it's the final statement.
You need to read it carefully this time.
Don't slobber on it.
I'm leaving now.
Affidavit
Why do you live like this?
Why do you live like this?
Final Affidavit
The defendant was bankrupt
and mentally vulnerable,
and feels deep remorse,
so I plead mitigating circumstances.
Any more facts or evidence to present?
Yes, I have.
The witness worked at
a bigger factory 5 years ago.
But why did you move to
the defendant's factory?
The former factory made
six of us sleep in a small room,
and didn't pay us.
I was beaten when I asked for my salary.
My current boss saved me
and the deal went south.
How about now? Are you happy?
Objection, Your Honor.
The prosecutor is asking irrelevant questions,
and confusing the court.
It's to prove that the defendant
didn't commit this just for the money.
This could be an advantage to the defendant.
Is the counsel objecting to the witness?
Prosecutor,
why don't you change the indictment?
If you're not willing to prosecute,
suspend the indictment.
What are you doing here?
The charge won't change.
But for your wise judgment,
I want to reveal the truth.
So, I'll ask again.
Are you happy now?
Yes, I'm very happy.
I'm living at my boss's house.
He got me to take technical training,
and I'm no longer an illegal.
But I'm so sad.
Your Honor.
When is my boss getting out?
Your Honor, I request a brief recess.
What are you doing?
Act like a prosecutor,
and don't embarrass the family.
What if you get embarrassed?
It's about a man's life.
I told you.
That loser's life is none of your business.
Just do what you always do.
Pathetic.
Where's the prosecutor?
I'll consider the prosecutor waived
making the final statement.
The next hearing will be on July 2nd...
It's me.
It's Prosecutor Han Donggyu.
What are you doing?
Take that off right now.
If you insult the court,
you'll be found in contempt.
Is there any law against
wearing a mask in court?
I'm only trying to prove his motive
with the evidence he wore.
I call Park Jeongmin of
Somang Bank as a witness.
How do I look?
Ridiculous, right?
Other people here could laugh.
But you can't.
It's because...
It was you who caused him to wear the mask.
You promised the defendant his loan,
and assured him the money
would be transferred that day.
Yes.
But the witness didn't file
the application for the loan.
Why is that?
I really didn't know he needed
the money for his wife's surgery.
I never thought Changho's wife was dying.
- I just... / - That means...
You put on a show for personal reasons.
The prosecutor is forgetting who he is...
I'm doing your job...
for you.
Quiet!
Silence, please.
I'm hot.
Finally, I call the defendant.
Why did you take off the mask
and toss the gun?
You didn't intend to rob the bank
in the beginning, did you?
I did.
Okay, let's say you're right.
So you held Park Jeongmin hostage
to rob the bank?
Yes.
Would that be true?
What about that?
I'll make it easier.
How many here?
You don't know, do you?
Do you know what this is?
Of course you don't, because...
The defendant can't see.
Now you can see, right?
What is it?
Isn't this your wife's picture?
Hey, nice handwriting.
What do you need the money for?
Honey. It's me.
I'm at the hospital and I'm bored.
How does my voice sound?
Isn't it sweet?
I want to lift your spirits with my voice.
I have to get up soon.
I have to make food for Jamil and Shin.
I know you can't be without me.
But...
I pray everyday.
I pray that your eyes will heal.
Honey, I'm sorry.
The defendant lost most of his eyesight
from a dyeing accident 3 years ago.
So, how could he rob a bank in his condition?
I'll ask again.
You didn't intend to rob the bank
in the first place, did you?
You had no intention to rob the bank,
and couldn't kill Park Jeongmin, right?
So why did the defendant give up everything?
Because...
the defendant...
killed his loving wife.
The defendant Lee Changho was
arrested for robbing a bank.
The police investigated for 4 days,
and reported to the prosecutor.
But the real crime
Lee Changho committed was...
It's the fact that he couldn't save his wife,
and his foolishness of trusting a friend.
He committed a crime
to get punished for those sins.
I know that doesn't make his crime go away.
His wife's death could have been destiny.
But if my wife or child died
from a friend's foolish prank,
how would that feel?
The defendant lived a clean life.
The struggles for him
to wear and take off this mask.
Can you imagine them?
The mask must have felt so heavy to him.
I almost forgot.
I file a complaint against
public defense counsel
Han Yeonggyu for dereliction of duty.
Hey!
Are you crazy?
Counsel!
Does a prosecutor look like a pushover to you?
This side lacks a little.
Just go easy on it.
You know...
You said you know someone's problem
by looking at the heels.
How's mine?
The spinal cord is fine,
but the head's not right.
A few screws are loose.
Done.
Huh, it's raining?
You said it won't rain.
It's not my fault. It's the weather center's.
I don't know.
Hey!
How pretty.
Who, me?
No, the shoes.
Whoever picked them has good taste.
But why won't you wear them?
Wrong size.
I don't think you bought it.
You found them, right?
Nothing to say?
You picked them up on a street? I knew it.
I wondered who'd wear this kind of shoes.
Why don't we order something to eat?
See you next time...
