In the restroom, Attorney Song loses his cookies in a nearby stall. When he emerges, he's surprised to see Dong ho there,and greets his sunbae(Senior) pleasantly. He's actually a rookie public defender who was assigned this case because no one wanted to touch it, and it's his first time in court. He's also up against a hotshot lawyer with a gift of persuasion, which isn't exactly encouraging for a trial by jury for a man everyone presumes guilty.
Court Room****
The trial commences, and the prosecution calmly states that they are charging jae hyuk with the tape and murder of Jung ah. Attorney song also stands to deliver his opening statement, but he stutters through it so badly that it's hard to take seriously his declaration that they will plead "not guilty."
Apparently his bad stutter is another ailment of his nerves, and Dong ho slips into the court room to take a seat in the back, eager to see how amusing attorney song's performance will be. The judge double-checks with the stuttering attorney to make sure he will be able to continue with the trial, but he stammers that he'll be okay. Not a very reassuring answer for either jae hyuk or his worried son.
The prosecutor has a slick slideshow highlighting the facts as they see it, but back in the peanut gallery. Dong ho mutters that they don't have any real evidence---- just speculation. The prosecutor further uses his powerful speech of persuasion to create a vivid image in the juror' s minds of how exactly jae hyuk killed Jung ah, and Ding ho grumbles to himself his annoyance at how the defense attorney isn't objecting to the speculation.
Finally attorney Song stands up to protest, but his stutter is so strong that the prosecutor makes him to look like a fool. However, the judge rules that the prosecutor must provide evidence, and the court takes a short break. It's too late, though, because both the jury and the audience--- especially Jung ah's father ---- seem persuaded by the prosecutor's words and images.
Later, Dong ho buys Attorney Song a cup of coffee, and the nervous attorney admits that his stuttering is just performance anxiety that should go away once he's had enough experience. Annoyed, Dong ho points out that while he's getting experience, he could be ruining other people's lives.
Court Room*****
Jin woo sits alone in the empty court room, trying to unsuccessfully fight back his tears. Lee In ah tentatively approaches him to return the necklace that had fallen earlier when he was being pummeled by eggs. He takes it, slipping his fingers through the ring on the chain as he chokes up even more.
The trial continues and it's time for the prosecutor to question Jae hyuk. He points out that Jae hyuk originally confessed that he didn't know Jung ah, even though it's been proven that he's known her for ten years. Jae hyuk attempts to explain that sometimes his memory is faulty, but the prosecutor forces him to simply answer " Yes " or " No."
