00:09:03He's humiliating you like this.
00:09:05Are you still going to endure it?
00:09:07Arthur Reed, are you still a man or not?
00:09:09Victor Thorn.
00:09:12I'll kill you.
00:09:15I'll kill you.
00:09:16Get lost.
00:09:17Arthur.
00:09:18Arthur.
00:09:19You coward. You actually dared to lay a hand on me?
00:09:22Ha?
00:09:22If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how powerful I am.
00:09:26Hold him down.
00:09:29What are you doing?
00:09:30Victor.
00:09:31That's enough. Aren't we going too far?
00:09:33Get lost.
00:09:33If you talk nonsense again, get out.
00:09:40Arthur Reed.
00:09:42Listen carefully.
00:09:43Not only will I take your land.
00:09:46Those $200,000, you won't get a single penny of it.
00:09:49And your wife.
00:09:51She won't escape either.
00:09:52From now on, when you see me, kneel and submit.
00:09:55Do you hear me?
00:09:56Victor Thorn.
00:09:56You're not allowed to touch my wife.
00:09:59Whether I touch your wife or not.
00:10:01Is not up to a good for nothing.
00:10:03Like you to decide.
00:10:04Today, I'll give you a little lesson.
00:10:06I'll make you remember.
00:10:08Hold him down well.
00:10:08You're talking nonsense.
00:10:21You're saying these things.
00:10:23Do you have proof?
00:10:24Of course there's proof.
00:10:26The defendant's back of the head.
00:10:28Still has burn marks.
00:10:30Your honor, you can ask the bailiffs to verify on site.
00:10:32Agreed.
00:10:33We also went to Arthur Reed's house.
00:10:40We found on site.
00:10:41The cigarette butts left behind.
00:10:44You actually went to the scene?
00:10:46Don't be in a hurry.
00:10:48After I handle this case.
00:10:49I'll settle accounts with you properly.
00:10:52Alright.
00:10:54Even if these things are true.
00:10:56They are not sufficient.
00:10:57To constitute a justified homicide for Arthur Reed.
00:10:59He clearly committed intentional murder.
00:11:01The counsel for the plaintiff has a point.
00:11:03This indeed does not meet the conditions for self-defense.
00:11:06But I believe everyone here.
00:11:07After hearing what happened next.
00:11:09Any man in Arthur Reed's place.
00:11:11Would support his actions.
00:11:25You're not allowed to bully my husband.
00:11:30Evelyn Vance.
00:11:31Evelyn Vance.
00:11:32The patient committed suicide with sleeping pills.
00:11:37Quick.
00:11:37Notify the family immediately.
00:11:40You vile woman.
00:11:41You dared to hit me.
00:11:42Then I'll deal with you first.
00:11:44Let go of my wife.
00:11:45Whatever it is.
00:11:46Come at me.
00:11:46Don't be impatient.

00:16:10Just you wait.
00:16:12Did I say you could leave?
00:16:15It has nothing to do with me.
00:16:16Arthur.
00:16:17Victor Thorne made us do it.
00:16:18Just now.
00:16:19The one who.
00:16:20Assaulted my wife.
00:16:21Were you among them?
00:16:23I'm sorry.
00:16:24Arthur.
00:16:24We were wrong.
00:16:25We won't dare to do it again.
00:16:26When you were bullying us.
00:16:28Weren't you all.
00:16:29Acting so fierce.
00:16:30Now you're scared.
00:16:32Too late.
00:16:32Arthur.
00:16:33Please be merciful.
00:16:35Please spare us.
00:16:35Arthur.
00:16:36The $200,000.
00:16:38Victor Thorne owes me.
00:16:39Give it back.
00:16:41We don't have the money.
00:16:42The money's all with Victor.
00:16:44You still dare to pretend?
00:16:46Right here.
00:16:49Hands up.
00:16:50Hands on your head.
00:16:51Squat down.
00:16:51Quick.
00:16:58Call an ambulance.
00:17:04His pupils are dilated.
00:17:05He's gone.
00:17:08Arthur Reed.
00:17:09You killed Victor.
00:17:10You're dead meat.
00:17:11Ha ha ha ha.
00:17:14You killed Victor.
00:17:15You're finished.
00:17:16Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:17:17Officer, I want to report something.
00:17:23These two men, and Victor Thorne, assaulted my wife.
00:17:26Quick, arrest them.
00:17:28Nobody move.
00:17:29Come, come with us.
00:17:31No.
00:17:32Officer, my husband is innocent.
00:17:34He's innocent.
00:17:36Don't worry.
00:17:37We won't wrong any good person.
00:17:40You killed Victor.
00:17:42You just wait to die.
00:17:43Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:17:47The situation, we have already basically clarified.
00:17:50You can go back and wait for now.
00:17:52After the trial begins, we'll call you as a witness.
00:17:55Is there still hope for my husband?
00:17:57He did kill someone after all.
00:18:00If you want him to be acquitted, it might be difficult.
00:18:03But you can try finding those lawyers.
00:18:05If you can find Marcus Thorne, then there might still be hope.
00:18:08Marcus Thorne?
00:18:09Who is he?
00:18:12He's the most famous lawyer in the legal community.
00:18:15They say he's won many impossible cases.
00:18:19However.
00:18:21Oh dear.
00:18:22His fees are very expensive.
00:18:24We have free legal aid.
00:18:27You can try that.
00:18:31I understand.
00:18:32Thank you, officer.
00:18:33Mother.
00:18:41Mother.
00:18:43Arthur.
00:18:44To get you.
00:18:45Medical expenses.
00:18:47Mother.
00:18:47He stabbed the village bully, Victor Thorne, to death.
00:18:51He was a good-for-nothing for most of his life.
00:18:54He finally acted like a man, just this once.
00:18:59I've asked around.
00:19:00In Arthur's situation, it's very likely that he could be acquitted.
00:19:06No matter how much it costs.
00:19:08I will definitely find the best lawyer.
00:19:12I'll find a way to get Arthur out of this.
00:19:14It's her.
00:19:31It's this vile woman.
00:19:32She caused Victor.
00:19:36You.
00:19:37What do you want?
00:19:40It's her.
00:19:41It's this vile woman.
00:19:42She caused Victor.
00:19:43What do you want?
00:19:51It's you, you vile woman.
00:19:53You caused my brother's death.
00:19:55I didn't.
00:19:56He deserved it.
00:19:57He had it coming.
00:19:58Victor wasn't killed by anyone but you, you vile woman.
00:20:01Isn't it because you're beautiful and you seduced Victor?
00:20:04Otherwise, why would Victor assault you?
00:20:06How else would Arthur take a knife and stab Victor to death?
00:20:09Then don't you know how he bullied me and Arthur?
00:20:12I don't care.
00:20:13I don't care how things are.
00:20:14A life for a life.
00:20:15That's the natural order of things.
00:20:17Arthur Reed killed my brother.
00:20:19Not only will I make sure he dies.
00:20:21I'll also make sure you, you vile woman, go to prison.
00:20:24In broad daylight, there should be justice.
00:20:27I don't believe you can still twist black and white.
00:20:30Twist black and white?
00:20:32Listen carefully.
00:20:33I am a lawyer.
00:20:35My mentor's name will scare you to death.
00:20:38He's the man at the very top of the legal profession.
00:20:41His name is Marcus Thorne.
00:20:45He's the man at the very top of the legal profession.
00:20:48His name is Marcus Thorne.
00:20:50What?
00:20:50Your mentor is Marcus Thorne?
00:20:52It seems, you have some insight.
00:20:56You even know, my mentor's name.
00:20:59This makes things even simpler.
00:21:01Just obediently wait to die, that's all.
00:21:04You've gone too far.
00:21:05Yes, we're bullying you, and you'll have to take it.
00:21:09Who told you to provoke, the wrong person?
00:21:11You.
00:21:11This is?
00:21:15Arthur reads, that dead old hag's grave, isn't it?
00:21:19What do you want to do?
00:21:20Of course, I'm going to collect some interest from you first.
00:21:23I won't let my brother, die in vain.
00:21:26What are you doing?
00:21:27I'm warning you, don't mess around.
00:21:30Stop talking nonsense to her.
00:21:32Do it.
00:21:34Dig up this damn grave for me, and scatter his mother's ashes to the winds.
00:21:38Yes.
00:21:39You.
00:21:41I'd like to see who dares.
00:21:49No.
00:21:50Stop.
00:21:52No.
00:21:53No.
00:21:54Don't dig it up.
00:21:56Stop.
00:21:57You killed my brother.
00:21:58This is the interest I'm collecting from you.
00:22:00I'm calling the police.
00:22:02I'll have you all arrested.
00:22:03Go ahead.
00:22:05Anyway, my mentor is the best lawyer.
00:22:08Ha ha ha.
00:22:09No.
00:22:10Mother.
00:22:11No.
00:22:18Ha ha ha ha.
00:22:21It's quite heavy, isn't it?
00:22:25Ha ha ha.
00:22:27What are you going to do?
00:22:28No.
00:22:28My brother bullying you.
00:22:42Was him doing you a favor?
00:22:44From now on, you two had better behave yourselves.
00:22:47You'd better toe the line.
00:22:48Do you understand?
00:22:49I will find the best lawyer to defend my husband.
00:22:52Let me tell you the truth.
00:22:54As long as I'm involved, except for my mentor.
00:22:57No one can save your husband.
00:23:00Then I'll ask Marcus Thorn for help.
00:23:02You're really just daydreaming.
00:23:03Do you know my mentor's appearance fee?
00:23:05Even if you sell everything you own, you still couldn't afford him.
00:23:10You really don't know your place.
00:23:13Besides.
00:23:14He's my mentor.
00:23:16Do you think he'd help you?
00:23:17Except reality.
00:23:24When my brother was alive, he could bully you.
00:23:26Even dead, it's the same.
00:23:29That's the difference.
00:23:31Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:23:34Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:23:35Let's go.
00:23:57Hello.
00:23:58I'm looking for Marcus Thorn.
00:23:59Mr. Thorn.
00:24:01Do you have an appointment?
00:24:02Then just leave the case file here.
00:24:06If Mr. Thorn has time, he'll look at it.
00:24:08If he's interested, I'll contact you.
00:24:10He.
00:24:12How long will it take him to look at it?
00:24:14I can't say.
00:24:16Maybe he'll get to it today.
00:24:17Or maybe in a week.
00:24:19Or maybe in a month.
00:24:21In short, Mr. Thorn is very busy.
00:24:23The timing is uncertain.
00:24:25Then can I wait for him here?
00:24:28The waiting area is over there.
00:24:30You can just wait there.
00:24:31But I advise you, you should still go back.
00:24:33Because Mr. Thorn might not have time to look at your case file.
00:24:37It's fine.
00:24:38I can wait.
00:24:40Also, please help me deliver a message to Mr. Thorn.
00:24:44I have money.
00:24:45No matter how much he asks.
00:24:47Even if I have to sell everything I own, I will pay him.
00:24:50All right.
00:24:51Got it.
00:24:51Go sit and wait then.
00:24:55Oh, right.
00:24:57Please ask Mr. Thorn to look at it as soon as possible.
00:25:00Our lives depend on this.
00:25:03Understood.
00:25:03Understood.
00:25:09Looking so shabby.
00:25:11And she still wants to see Mr. Thorn?
00:25:13Hmph.
00:25:14What is this?
00:25:22Mr.
00:25:23Mr. Thorn?
00:25:27This is clearly a case file.
00:25:29How could you just throw it in the trash can?
00:25:32Mr. Thorn, I saw that person didn't have much money.
00:25:34And knowing how busy you are, I just...
00:25:36Nonsense.
00:25:37How many times have I told you, I, Marcus Thorn, don't just represent rich clients.
00:25:42As long as I can help someone, I'm willing to do it even without money.
00:25:46What's more, behind this case file are the lives of several people and several families.
00:25:51I'm sorry, Mr. Thorn.
00:25:53I was wrong.
00:25:53I won't dare to do it again.
00:26:11Is the person who brought the case file still here?
00:26:14Yes, they are, Mr. Thorn.
00:26:17Please ask her to come here.
00:26:19Never mind.
00:26:20No need.
00:26:21I'll just find someone else.
00:26:23Also, go to accounting and get your final pay.
00:26:26My law firm does not employ people like you.
00:26:29Mr. Thorn, Mr. Thorn.
00:26:36Come here for a moment.
00:26:43Mentor.
00:26:47Mentor, you're looking for me?
00:26:51Mentor, you're looking for me?
00:26:55This case, I'm very interested in.
00:26:57Ask her to come over.
00:26:59I want to talk to her.
00:27:01What?
00:27:02This vile woman.
00:27:03She actually found Mentor.
00:27:06This case, I've already reviewed carefully.
00:27:08It's a classic case of self-defense.
00:27:10If we win this lawsuit, the long-term benefits are far greater than other cases.
00:27:15What?
00:27:15Do you have a different opinion?
00:27:18Uh, no.
00:27:19No.
00:27:20Good.
00:27:21Then go and ask her to come over.
00:27:22Okay, Mentor.
00:27:23Please wait a moment.
00:27:32This vile woman.
00:27:33No matter what, today.
00:27:35I won't let you see Mentor.
00:27:40You.
00:27:40How are you here?
00:27:42What a small world.
00:27:43I didn't expect you'd actually dare to come.
00:27:50This, is your case file, isn't it?
00:27:54How did it get to you?
00:27:55Obviously.
00:27:56Of course, my mentor gave it to me.
00:27:59My mentor said, that he has, no interest in your case at all.
00:28:03Now, you immediately, take your case file, and get out.
00:28:06I've already inquired around.
00:28:18Mr. Thorne, is a, good person with a sense of justice.
00:28:22Unless I hear it, from him directly.
00:28:24Otherwise, I won't leave.
00:28:27Are you deaf?
00:28:28I said my mentor, has no interest in, your case at all.
00:28:32Get out.
00:28:42What's going on?
00:28:43Haven't you brought her in yet?
00:28:44No, no.
00:28:57I can't leave.
00:28:59Security.
00:28:59Where is security?
00:29:02Mr. Blackwood, take this, unreasonable woman, and throw her out.
00:29:07Yes.
00:29:07I'm not leaving.
00:29:08Let me see Mr. Thorne.
00:29:10I want to see Mr. Thorne.
00:29:11Please, let me see him.
00:29:12Mr. Thorne, I want to see Mr. Thorne.
00:29:14Hey, what was all that about?
00:29:16Oh.
00:29:18Someone was causing trouble just now.
00:29:20I had security.
00:29:21Drag her out.
00:29:21Oh.
00:29:22Where's the person I asked you to find?
00:29:24The person?
00:29:25Oh.
00:29:25Just now.
00:29:26When I came in, she was already gone.
00:29:28She probably left.
00:29:29Her phone number is on the case file.
00:29:30Please call her, to contact her.
00:29:32Ha.
00:29:33Okay, mentor.
00:29:34I'll contact her later tonight.
00:29:35Contact her.
00:29:44Okay, mentor.
00:29:45I'll go right away.
00:29:55Huh?
00:29:55By the way.
00:29:57Regarding the company's cleaners, are we short-staffed?
00:29:59Inform administration to hire two more cleaners.
00:30:02Okay, mentor.
00:30:02I'll arrange it now.
00:30:18Alara.
00:30:19Agnes Reed, you came too?
00:30:21Alara has trouble with her legs, so I came along with her.
00:30:24Thank you, Agnes Reed.
00:30:25Such a long way, and you still came along.
00:30:28We're all neighbors here.
00:30:30There's no need for such formalities.
00:30:34Arthur.
00:30:35Our mother.
00:30:35I have already buried her.
00:30:37You just stay put in there.
00:30:39Mother.
00:30:40I have been a terrible son.
00:30:45You wait.
00:30:45I will join you soon.
00:30:48Arthur.
00:30:48Don't lose heart.
00:30:49I asked around.
00:30:50Your situation falls under self-defense.
00:30:52As long as you find a good lawyer, you have a very good chance of being acquitted.
00:30:55Yes.
00:30:57Oh, right.
00:31:01I just remembered.
00:31:02Victor Thorne's brother seems to be a lawyer.
00:31:05He hasn't bullied you these past few days, has he?
00:31:10It's more than just bullying.
00:31:11It's absolutely outrageous.
00:31:14What did they do to you?
00:31:17I...
00:31:18I'm fine.
00:31:24Arthur.
00:31:26Please don't ask any more.
00:31:29Agnes Reed, tell me what they've been doing these past few days.
00:31:31What have they done?
00:31:34This brother of Victor Thorne is even worse than his older brother.
00:31:37Not only did he beat Alara, he even desecrated your mother's grave.
00:31:41What?
00:31:42These two brothers are simply overbearing.
00:31:48It's all my fault.
00:31:50Not only did I cause you to be bullied.
00:31:54Even mother couldn't rest in peace after she died.
00:31:56It's okay, Arthur.
00:32:00Don't worry.
00:32:02I will definitely find the best lawyer to save you.
00:32:05And get you justice.
00:32:06Don't worry, Arthur.
00:32:08Victor Thorne has been riding Rushod for so many years.
00:32:10You're ridding the people of a menace.
00:32:12We will all help you.
00:32:13You all.
00:32:20What are you all going to do?
00:32:24You all.
00:32:24What are you all going to do?
00:32:26Alara, don't be afraid.
00:32:28We're here to help you.
00:32:30I never thought Arthur, after being a good-for-nothing for half his life,
00:32:34would be a man for once.
00:32:36Yes, Victor Thorne usually rides Rushod over everyone.
00:32:39Many people in the village have been bullied by him.
00:32:41Now he's finally dead.
00:32:42Good riddance.
00:32:45Good riddance.
00:32:46Exactly, he deserved it.
00:32:49What are you doing?
00:32:50We all heard that you're finding a lawyer for Arthur.
00:32:53It needs money.
00:32:54This is a little money the villagers pooled together.
00:32:56We all support you.
00:32:58When the trial starts, we'll go to court and testify for you.
00:33:01Right.
00:33:02We must rescue Arthur, safely.
00:33:04I believe the law will certainly give Arthur justice.
00:33:06On behalf of Arthur, I thank everyone here.
00:33:13Thank you all.
00:33:16Get up quickly.
00:33:17Alara, what are you doing?
00:33:20We're not helping you because we pity you.
00:33:22It's because what Arthur did was manly.
00:33:24Victor Thorne deserved to die.
00:33:26He deserved to die.
00:33:27Deserved to die.
00:33:28The firm currently only needs one cleaner.
00:33:33The three of you, tell me your strengths.
00:33:36I've been a cleaner for 30 years.
00:33:38I'm skilled in using all sorts of cleaning tools.
00:33:41I'm a college graduate and I have relevant professional certificates.
00:33:44I can also use various cleaning tools more scientifically.
00:33:47And you?
00:33:48I'm not afraid of hard work.
00:33:50Plus, I ask for the lowest salary.
00:33:53Our law firm doesn't need to save a few thousand dollars.
00:33:56You're out.
00:33:57Please, young woman.
00:33:58I really need this job.
00:34:01You're not as qualified as the other two in any aspect.
00:34:04And you walk with a limp.
00:34:06Why should I hire you?
00:34:07Please, young woman.
00:34:08Just take pity on me.
00:34:10Why?
00:34:12Why?
00:34:14I'm talking to you.
00:34:17Speak up.
00:34:17Because.
00:34:19Because my son is in the hospital nearby.
00:34:22He's very ill.
00:34:22I just want to find a job close by.
00:34:25That way, I can earn money and take care of my son at the same time.
00:34:29Young woman, I beg you.
00:34:30Just take pity on me.
00:34:32Seeing how pitiful you are, I won't compete with you.
00:34:35Never mind.
00:34:36My children will support me in old age.
00:34:38You can have this cleaning job.
00:34:39Miss, when can you start working?
00:34:48Now.
00:34:55One million dollars.
00:34:57Sir, you dropped something.
00:34:58You're the new cleaner.
00:35:07Yes, sir.
00:35:09Then do you know what this is?
00:35:13It's a check.
00:35:14Worth one million dollars.
00:35:16If you had just taken this one million dollars, wouldn't it have directly changed your life?
00:35:24This one million dollars is indeed very tempting to me.
00:35:28But it doesn't belong to me.
00:35:31Of course, with this one million dollars, one could also find a very good lawyer.
00:35:35What's, your name?
00:35:38My name is Alara Vance.
00:35:39Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:35:42In the future, if you need my help with anything, feel free to ask.
00:35:47I, I actually do have something I'd like to ask for your help with.
00:35:51May I ask, do you know, Marcus Thorne, the lawyer?
00:35:55This entire law firm belongs to him.
00:35:57Who here doesn't know Mr. Thorne?
00:36:00That's true.
00:36:02Then, can you take me to see him?
00:36:04What do you need him for?
00:36:06I.
00:36:09If it gets out again, and upsets Mr. Thorne, then there really won't be any chance.
00:36:15What's wrong?
00:36:16Is it not convenient to say?
00:36:19I want to tell him in person.
00:36:22Actually, I.
00:36:27Okay, I'll be right there.
00:36:29Alright.
00:36:30Miss, we can discuss our matter later.
00:36:34Julian, the person I asked you to find.
00:36:46Have you contacted her?
00:36:47Mentor, I called several times, but couldn't get through.
00:36:50She probably found another lawyer.
00:36:52Try contacting her again.
00:36:53If she's really in trouble, we can help her pro bono.
00:36:56This case is very significant for us.
00:36:58I understand, Mentor.
00:37:00I'll try contacting her again.
00:37:09You vile woman.
00:37:11You just don't give up, do you?
00:37:13You vile woman.
00:37:19You just won't go away.
00:37:22I already told you.
00:37:24Mr. Thorne has no interest in your case.
00:37:27Do you have to be so persistent?
00:37:29I didn't.
00:37:31I'm here to work.
00:37:32I'm not looking for Mr. Thorne.
00:37:33Work?
00:37:34Who would believe that?
00:37:35Do you take me for a goddamn fool?
00:37:37Now, get out of here.
00:37:39Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to destroy you.
00:37:43No.
00:37:44I can't leave.
00:37:45Otherwise, Arthur will truly be beyond help.
00:37:48Arthur Reed killed my brother.
00:37:50He deserved it.
00:37:51He got what was coming to him.
00:37:53No.
00:37:53Victor Thorne was clearly overbearing.
00:37:55Arthur couldn't take it anymore.
00:37:57That's why he acted.
00:38:01What's the point of saying all this now?
00:38:03I just want Arthur Reed, that bastard, to die.
00:38:06And you, you'll have to join him in the grave.
00:38:09I beg you.
00:38:10The dead cannot be brought back to life.
00:38:13Please, let us live, okay?
00:38:16If you're willing to spare Arthur Reed.
00:38:18From now on, we'll be at your beck and call.
00:38:23Do you really want me to let you go?
00:38:28Do you really want me to let you go?
00:38:31I beg you.
00:38:32If you'll just spare Arthur, I'll do anything.
00:38:36Really?
00:38:37Anything at all?
00:38:38I can be at your beck and call, as long as you're willing to spare Arthur.
00:38:42Fine.
00:38:43Then kneel before me and bark like a dog.
00:38:46You.
00:38:46You yourself said you'd do anything if you can't even bark like a dog.
00:38:50Why should I trust you?
00:38:56Then will you spare Arthur?
00:38:57Do you really have the right to negotiate with me now?
00:39:21Crawl.
00:39:21Crawl on the ground.
00:39:22Bark.
00:39:37Bark.
00:39:40Woof.
00:39:42Woof.
00:39:43Ah!
00:39:45Giddy up.
00:40:01Giddy up.
00:40:04Crawl faster.
00:40:07Crawl faster.
00:40:15You barked.
00:40:23You've crawled.
00:40:25Can you spare Arthur now?
00:40:27Spare him?
00:40:29When did I say I'd spare him?
00:40:32What I said earlier was that I might consider it.
00:40:34I've considered it now.
00:40:36I've decided to let Arthur Reed die.
00:40:41So he can join my brother in the grave.
00:40:43You, you've gone too far.
00:40:45Julian, how exactly did this lady offend you so much that you have to treat her like this?
00:40:52I'm treating her like this?
00:40:54Her husband stabbed my own brother to death.
00:40:57And now she's begging me to spare her husband.
00:40:59So that's how it is.
00:41:00You really have some nerve.
00:41:07No, it's not.
00:41:08It's not like that.
00:41:09It was all his brother.
00:41:11He's the one who went too far.
00:41:12My husband couldn't take it anymore.
00:41:14That's why he acted.
00:41:15Enough nonsense.
00:41:20You can forget about seeing my mentor.
00:41:23Now, get out of here quickly.
00:41:26Sandra.
00:41:30What's wrong?
00:41:33How are you doing your job?
00:41:34You even dared to hire a murderer's wife into our law firm?
00:41:37Isn't this tarnishing?
00:41:38Isn't this tarnishing our firm's reputation?
00:41:40What?
00:41:46This woman's husband killed my own brother.
00:41:50And she even wants my mentor to be her husband's defense attorney.
00:41:54This is simply delusional.
00:41:55But that's not what she said at the time.
00:41:58Enough.
00:42:00Now, quickly, get this woman out of here.
00:42:03Everyone, from now on, watch out for this little hussy.
00:42:07You can leave.
00:42:08Our law firm is not hiring you.
00:42:10No.
00:42:11Young woman.
00:42:12Young woman, my husband is innocent.
00:42:14Please take pity on me.
00:42:16Let me stay.
00:42:17Let me stay.
00:42:18Saying this to me is useless.
00:42:20He's Director Thorne's student.
00:42:21If he tells you to leave, unless Director Thorne personally intervenes.
00:42:25No one dares to keep you.
00:42:27Security.
00:42:28Security.
00:42:32Throw this madwoman out.
00:42:34And also, in the future, make sure you guard the main entrance.
00:42:37And don't let this woman in again.
00:42:38Yes, sir.
00:42:39No.
00:42:40Don't kick me out.
00:42:41I won't leave.
00:42:45This vile woman.
00:42:47She still hasn't given up.
00:42:49Since that's the case, I'll teach you another lesson.
00:42:54Brenda, get a few more people to go burn down Arthur Reed's house for me.
00:43:05Julian, what did you say?
00:43:07This vile woman actually wants my mentor to take her case.
00:43:10She has a death wish.
00:43:11We need to teach her a lesson to make her behave.
00:43:14What?
00:43:15This vile woman still hasn't given up.
00:43:17Fine.
00:43:18I'll go arrange it right away.
00:43:21Julian, can you help me find someone named?
00:43:24Oh, right.
00:43:26Ilara Vance, the cleaner, and bring her here?
00:43:28I just fired her.
00:43:30Fired her?
00:43:31Why?
00:43:32Because she was stealing earlier, and I caught her, so I fired her.
00:43:35She returned the $1 million check.
00:43:37Completely intact.
00:43:39I don't believe such a person would steal.
00:43:42Julian Blackwood.
00:43:43Must be lying.
00:43:46Mentor.
00:43:47Do you need anything else?
00:43:48Nope, that's all for now.
00:43:56Mr. Thorne, that's the situation.
00:43:59It seems Ilara Vance offended Julian Blackwood somehow.
00:44:02That's why she was driven away.
00:44:04Between the two of them, what is their grudge?
00:44:06Why is Julian Blackwood targeting her like this?
00:44:08Ilara.
00:44:18Ilara, you're finally back.
00:44:20Just now, your house.
00:44:21I don't know why, it suddenly caught fire.
00:44:24Everyone tried to put it out, but the fire was too big.
00:44:27We couldn't save it.
00:44:30What happened?
00:44:31Why would it just catch fire like that?
00:44:34This is too much.
00:44:35This must be the work of Victor Thorne and his family.
00:44:38Yes, I just saw one of their relatives sneak away suspiciously.
00:44:43Besides them, who else could it be?
00:44:44The Thorne family.
00:44:45This is outrageous.
00:44:47They're trying to wipe us out.
00:44:50Arthur.
00:44:52I'm so sorry, Arthur.
00:44:54Arthur.
00:44:54Arthur.
00:45:03Ilara Vance, did you see the gift I sent you?
00:45:10Did you really do this?
00:45:11This is just to give you a small lesson.
00:45:14If you don't behave, next time it won't just be your house.
00:45:18I'm going to call the police.
00:45:20I'm going to sue you.
00:45:21Go ahead and sue.
00:45:23Do you have any proof?
00:45:24Who can prove I did it?
00:45:26Julian Blackwood.
00:45:28You'll die a terrible death.
00:45:30Your whole family will face divine retribution.
00:45:32Ha ha ha ha.
00:45:33The trial is tomorrow.
00:45:37I advise you to just stay put at home.
00:45:39Wait for tomorrow when your husband is sentenced to death.
00:45:42Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you another taste of what I can do.
00:45:48Julian Blackwood.
00:45:49You burned down their house.
00:45:50You've gone too far.
00:45:53So what if I bullied her?
00:45:56He killed my brother.
00:45:57His whole family deserves to die.
00:46:00But Victor Thorne was the one who bullied first.
00:46:03Enough nonsense.
00:46:05A life for a life.
00:46:06I will make sure his entire family pays the price.
00:46:09Ilarra.
00:46:09Have you found a lawyer yet?
00:46:23How's the contact going?
00:46:24The trial is tomorrow.
00:46:32My preparations here are almost complete.
00:46:35Just in case, we still can't let this woman find a lawyer.
00:46:39No way.
00:46:40I will use my mentor's name to issue an industry-wide blacklisting email.
00:46:44No lawyer will be allowed to defend Arthur Reed.
00:46:47Ilarra.
00:46:48Have you found a lawyer yet?
00:47:03How's the contact going?
00:47:04No.
00:47:05I originally intended to ask attorney Marcus Thorne for help.
00:47:09But that Julian Blackwood.
00:47:11He interfered.
00:47:12I couldn't even get a meeting with Mr. Thorne.
00:47:15Don't worry, Ilarra.
00:47:16I have a lawyer friend.
00:47:18I'll ask him for you.
00:47:20Okay.
00:47:20Right.
00:47:21I'll help you online to contact other lawyers.
00:47:24It doesn't have to be Marcus Thorne.
00:47:25All right.
00:47:26All right.
00:47:27All right.
00:47:27How could this happen?
00:47:34Okay.
00:47:35I understand.
00:47:39How's it going?
00:47:43Hey, how's it going?
00:47:45My relatives said Marcus Thorne specifically informed all lawyers not to take Arthur's case.
00:47:53Exactly.
00:47:53The lawyer I just contacted.
00:47:55This lawyer.
00:47:56As soon as he heard it was.
00:47:57Arthur's case.
00:47:58He didn't dare to take it.
00:48:00Was it that scoundrel Julian Blackwood who interfered?
00:48:04It must be him.
00:48:06With no lawyer to help Arthur.
00:48:08What are we going to do?
00:48:11The Thorne family has gone too far.
00:48:13We absolutely cannot let Arthur be wrongly accused.
00:48:16We all need to think of a solution.
00:48:18Right now, no lawyer dares to take the case.
00:48:21What are we going to do?
00:48:22The Thorne family has been bullying and oppressing for years.
00:48:25Over 300 people in the village have been bullied by him.
00:48:29I think we should all testify in court to save Arthur.
00:48:35I have an idea.
00:48:36Our whole village will sign a petition in blood to support Arthur.
00:48:43That's a great idea.
00:48:44A good plan.
00:48:45Write it.
00:48:46I'll write too.
00:48:47Me too.
00:48:49Come on.
00:48:50I'll write as well.
00:48:51Come on.
00:48:53Let's do it together.
00:48:53Thank you, everyone.
00:49:02Ilara.
00:49:03Come on.
00:49:03Come on.
00:49:04Get up.
00:49:04What are you doing?
00:49:05Get up.
00:49:05Ilara, dear.
00:49:12I went door to door all over the village.
00:49:15Except for the Thorne family.
00:49:16All the other villagers have signed this petition in their own blood.
00:49:19We all support Arthur.
00:49:21Tomorrow in court, you can present this.
00:49:23Thank you, everyone.
00:49:31You're all so thoughtful.
00:49:33Right.
00:49:34Tomorrow, we'll accompany you to court.
00:49:36Yes, everyone goes together tomorrow.
00:49:38Yes, together.
00:49:39Together.
00:49:39Together.
00:49:40Together.
00:49:41Let's go to court together.
00:49:42Let's go, all of us.
00:49:44Let's go.
00:49:45We're coming too.
00:49:47My husband, Victor, only owed him a little money.
00:49:51That cursed man actually stabbed my husband to death.
00:49:55I want him to pay for this blood debt.
00:49:57I want the judge to have him executed.
00:50:02I am the younger brother of the deceased, Victor Thorne.
00:50:05Today, I will appear as the plaintiff's attorney.
00:50:09Let the law.
00:50:10Bring justice for my brother.
00:50:12I will make sure the murderer is brought to justice.
00:50:18That's her.
00:50:19That's the murderer's wife.
00:50:21Beat her to death.
00:50:25Mr. Thorne, all the surveillance footage of Alara Vance from yesterday is all here.
00:50:29Please take your time and watch.
00:50:35This is truly overbearing.
00:50:37Where's Julian Blackwood?
00:50:38Get him over here.
00:50:39He took the day off.
00:50:40Took the day off?
00:50:41What for?
00:50:42I don't know about that.
00:50:45I remember now.
00:50:47This Alara Vance is the one who gave me the case file.
00:50:49What?
00:50:50The trial starts in two hours.
00:50:58Help me find out.
00:50:59Arthur Reed's case.
00:51:00Which law firm's lawyer is handling it?
00:51:02Mr. Thorne.
00:51:03No one took Arthur's case.
00:51:04All right.
00:51:05Now, everyone in the law firm.
00:51:07Stop what you're working on.
00:51:08At the fastest possible speed.
00:51:10Help me gather.
00:51:10For Arthur Reed's murder case.
00:51:12All the evidence and clues.
00:51:13Have it ready for me in one hour?
00:51:15Mr. Thorne.
00:51:16Are you going to?
00:51:17I'm going to provide free defense for Arthur Reed.
00:51:23That's her.
00:51:24That's the murderer's wife.
00:51:26He deserved it.
00:51:27He deserved to die.
00:51:28Give me my husband's life back.
00:51:29Don't hit her.
00:51:33Don't hit.
00:51:34Let me go.
00:51:34Stop hitting her.
00:51:36I'll kill you.
00:51:39What are you doing?
00:51:41Kill her.
00:51:42Kill her.
00:51:43Stop hitting.
00:51:45I'll strangle you.
00:51:47Stop.
00:51:48This is the courthouse entrance.
00:51:49Please remain calm.
00:51:50If there's any similar incident again,
00:51:52we will charge you with disturbing the order of the court
00:51:54and place you under arrest.
00:51:57I'll let you off this time.
00:51:58You vile woman.
00:51:59Next time I see you,
00:52:00I swear I'll beat you to death.
00:52:13No wonder he kept blocking
00:52:15Ilara Vance preventing her from seeing me.
00:52:17So he is Victor Thorne's brother.
00:52:22Mr. Thorne,
00:52:23the information you requested is already
00:52:25including Arthur Reed's complete background file
00:52:27and the deceased.
00:52:28Victor Thorne's past
00:52:29as well as all their connections.
00:52:31Let's go
00:52:32to the courthouse.
00:52:33I'll read it in the car.
00:52:41All right.
00:52:44Families from both sides.
00:52:45No more conflicts.
00:52:46The trial is about to begin.
00:52:47Everyone,
00:52:48please go inside.
00:52:49Let's go.
00:52:53Wait for your man
00:52:55to be buried with Victor.
00:52:57Slow down.
00:53:03Everything
00:53:03is proceeding
00:53:05according to plan.
00:53:06Mr. Thorne,
00:53:16what's wrong?
00:53:18There's too much information.
00:53:19I'm afraid I can't review it all
00:53:21in such a short time.
00:53:23And Julian Blackwood
00:53:24was well prepared.
00:53:25Legally,
00:53:25it's definitely disadvantageous for us.
00:53:27We must think of a way
00:53:28to win quickly.
00:53:30But the trial starts
00:53:31in less than an hour.
00:53:33What kind of method
00:53:34can give us
00:53:35an unexpected victory?
00:53:37Right.
00:53:38The things I asked you to prepare.
00:53:40Do you have them
00:53:40in digital format?
00:53:41Yes.
00:53:42Then turn the entire process
00:53:44of Arthur Reed's case
00:53:45into a video
00:53:46posted on social media platforms.
00:53:47Then contact the company's PR department
00:53:49to promote it.
00:53:50Mr. Thorne,
00:53:51you mean,
00:53:51let the public online
00:53:52speak up for us?
00:53:55I believe
00:53:56that the public
00:53:56can see the truth.
00:53:58I also believe that
00:53:59with the help of the public,
00:54:00the law
00:54:01will clear Arthur Reed's name.
00:54:03But in such a short time,
00:54:05will it really work?
00:54:08At this point,
00:54:09we can only leave it to fate.
00:54:17This is too much.
00:54:27Not paying back the money
00:54:28is one thing.
00:54:29But bullying people like this?
00:54:30This Victor Thorne
00:54:31deserved to die.
00:54:34What?
00:54:34This tyrant defiled
00:54:36someone's wife
00:54:36and even threatened
00:54:37the victim with a knife.
00:54:39This is absolutely lawless.
00:54:42What's going on?
00:54:43Miko,
00:54:43where are you?
00:54:44I'm watching this video
00:54:46about Arthur Reed's murder case.
00:54:48Guys,
00:54:48come and watch.
00:54:49This Victor Thorne
00:54:50is too arrogant.
00:54:51He totally deserved
00:54:52to be stabbed to death.
00:54:53That was Arthur Reed's mother's
00:54:54life-saving money.
00:54:55He just refused to give it.
00:54:57His own wife
00:54:57was assaulted right in front of him.
00:54:59If it were me,
00:55:00that scoundrel
00:55:00would have been minced long ago.
00:55:02The law is indeed impartial,
00:55:03but it should also
00:55:04consider human emotion.
00:55:06I hope the law
00:55:07can bring justice to the wronged.
00:55:08Exactly.
00:55:09I'm talking about
00:55:10Arthur Reed's mother.
00:55:11Arthur.
00:55:31Alara.
00:55:32Are you alright?
00:55:34Did anyone hurt you inside?
00:55:37You're hurt.
00:55:38You're hurt.
00:55:41Did they do this?
00:55:45It was Victor Thorne's
00:55:46wife who hit you.
00:55:51Brenda Thorne.
00:55:52You'll pay for this.
00:55:53This isn't over between us.
00:55:56Someone who's about
00:55:57to die soon
00:55:57still dares
00:55:58to threaten others.
00:56:00You,
00:56:00take care of yourself
00:56:01first.
00:56:04Silence.
00:56:06Defendant.
00:56:07Do you not have
00:56:08a defense attorney?
00:56:11I'm sorry,
00:56:12Arthur.
00:56:13I couldn't find
00:56:13a lawyer for you.
00:56:20It seems,
00:56:22all lawyers understand,
00:56:23it's pointless
00:56:23to mount a defense,
00:56:25for a man,
00:56:25who's doomed
00:56:26to die anyway.
00:56:28Since there's no lawyer,
00:56:30let the trial begin.
00:56:31regarding the murder
00:56:41of Victor Thorne
00:56:41by the defendant,
00:56:42Arthur Reed.
00:56:43The court is now in session.
00:56:45I will be Arthur Reed's
00:56:46defense attorney.
00:56:48Mentor.
00:56:55You,
00:56:55you are Counselor Thorne?
00:56:56No need to say more.
00:56:57I understand the entire situation.
00:57:02Mentor.
00:57:03You,
00:57:03aiding evil
00:57:04and oppressing your neighbors.
00:57:06I,
00:57:06Marcus Thorne,
00:57:07have no such apprentice as you.
00:57:08From this moment on,
00:57:10you are no longer
00:57:10my apprentice.
00:57:12Mentor.
00:57:13Today,
00:57:14I came
00:57:14fully prepared.
00:57:15As for this lawsuit,
00:57:16you are likely to lose.
00:57:18Until the very end,
00:57:20who wins or loses
00:57:20is not yet decided.
00:57:22All right.
00:57:26Then let's wait and see.
00:57:29Arthur.
00:57:30This is the lawyer
00:57:31I told you about.
00:57:32We are safe.
00:57:33The foregoing
00:57:34summarizes the entire
00:57:35history of conflict
00:57:36between the defendant,
00:57:37Arthur Reed,
00:57:38and the deceased,
00:57:38Victor Thorne.
00:57:39I believe any
00:57:40other man,
00:57:40upon learning
00:57:41that his mother
00:57:42was driven to death,
00:57:43seeing his wife assaulted
00:57:44right before his eyes
00:57:45and then being provoked
00:57:46with a knife to his face.
00:57:47Facing one blow
00:57:48after another,
00:57:49there is no reason
00:57:50not to act.
00:57:53Then,
00:57:53I ask the defendant.
00:57:56Before you stabbed
00:57:57Victor Thorne,
00:57:58what words did he say?
00:58:01I'll count to three.
00:58:03Either,
00:58:04you stab me,
00:58:05or,
00:58:06I stab you.
00:58:08That's right.
00:58:09Those were his exact words.
00:58:11Can I not
00:58:12interpret this as
00:58:13just a joke made
00:58:14by the deceased?
00:58:15Victor Thorne
00:58:16didn't actually
00:58:17intend to kill
00:58:17Arthur Reed.
00:58:20Rather,
00:58:20Arthur Reed's
00:58:21mistaken judgment
00:58:22led him to believe
00:58:23Victor Thorne
00:58:24was going to kill him.
00:58:25No,
00:58:26it's not like that.
00:58:27Counselor Blackwood,
00:58:28have you forgotten
00:58:29what I taught you before?
00:58:31You must speak
00:58:32with evidence.
00:58:33This court relies
00:58:34on evidence.
00:58:35Everything said
00:58:36must be backed
00:58:36by proof.
00:58:37Counselor Thorne,
00:58:38I still remember
00:58:40something you taught
00:58:41me.
00:58:42Since ancient times,
00:58:43you prove what exists,
00:58:44not what doesn't.
00:58:45Victor Thorne had
00:58:46no intention
00:58:46of killing Arthur Reed.
00:58:48How can I prove
00:58:48something so groundless
00:58:49and non-existent?
00:58:51Prove what exists,
00:58:52not what doesn't,
00:58:53right?
00:58:53That's exactly what
00:58:54I was waiting for.
00:58:57You.
00:58:58What do you mean?
00:59:00Then,
00:59:01I would like to ask
00:59:01the plaintiff's attorney,
00:59:02how can we prove that?
00:59:04Victor Thorne truly
00:59:05intended to kill him?
00:59:08You ask me that?
00:59:10Go ask my brother
00:59:11yourself in the afterlife.
00:59:13I don't think
00:59:13the deceased needs to speak.
00:59:15I have evidence here
00:59:16to prove
00:59:16that Victor Thorne
00:59:18initially had
00:59:18a murderous intent.
00:59:33Ten years ago,
00:59:37Victor Thorne,
00:59:37after an argument,
00:59:39murdered the villager
00:59:39Adam Carter
00:59:40and hid his body
00:59:41on the riverbank.
00:59:42Eight years ago,
00:59:43Victor Thorne,
00:59:44out of jealousy
00:59:45towards Agnes Reed's
00:59:46granddaughter,
00:59:46drowned her in the river.
00:59:47He then fabricated
00:59:48the illusion
00:59:49of an accidental fall.
00:59:56My poor granddaughter.
01:00:00Back then,
01:00:01I suspected
01:00:02that monster
01:00:02was behind it.
01:00:04I never expected
01:00:05it really was him.
01:00:07I'll,
01:00:07I'll fight you all.
01:00:11You,
01:00:12what are you doing?
01:00:14When you die,
01:00:15you deserve
01:00:15to go to the deepest
01:00:16hell,
01:00:16you inhuman creature.
01:00:18Your whole family
01:00:19deserves to die.
01:00:20I'll kill you.
01:00:21I'll kill you.
01:00:24Silence,
01:00:25witness,
01:00:25please control
01:00:26your emotions.
01:00:28So,
01:00:28I would like to ask
01:00:29the plaintiff's attorney,
01:00:31would a monster
01:00:32who kills
01:00:33without blinking
01:00:33after assaulting
01:00:34the defendant's wife
01:00:35and then saying
01:00:36such things
01:00:37still be joking?
01:00:38I?
01:00:48Plaintiff's attorney,
01:00:49do you have anything
01:00:50else to add?
01:00:54Plaintiff's attorney,
01:00:55do you have anything
01:00:56else to add?
01:00:57Perjury.
01:00:57This is all fake.
01:00:58As a lawyer,
01:01:00you should be very clear
01:01:01about the consequences
01:01:02of perjury.
01:01:03Furthermore,
01:01:04the body on the riverbank,
01:01:06we have already reported
01:01:07it to the police.
01:01:08I believe we will soon have
01:01:09news and photos sent over.
01:01:15These are photos of the body
01:01:17that our colleagues
01:01:17helped officers
01:01:18excavate from the riverbank.
01:01:20Your Honor,
01:01:20please see.
01:01:28In summary,
01:01:29the defendant,
01:01:30Arthur Reed,
01:01:31after successively
01:01:32experiencing
01:01:32various blows
01:01:33and being threatened
01:01:34with a knife
01:01:35to his face,
01:01:35I believe,
01:01:36this was the most
01:01:37correct decision
01:01:38he could make.
01:01:38I request Your Honor
01:01:39to classify this case
01:01:40as self-defense,
01:01:42rule that Arthur Reed
01:01:42be acquitted
01:01:43and released
01:01:44without charge.
01:01:44The entire Clearbrook Village,
01:02:01381 residents strong,
01:02:02has submitted
01:02:03a signed petition
01:02:03requesting severe punishment
01:02:05for those
01:02:05who assaulted me
01:02:06and the release
01:02:07of my husband,
01:02:07Arthur Reed.
01:02:11Victor Thorne
01:02:12habitually oppressed
01:02:13the villagers,
01:02:13riding rush out over them.
01:02:14Arthur Reed rid us
01:02:15of a menace.
01:02:16Exactly.
01:02:17Victor Thorne
01:02:17deserved to die.
01:02:18Arthur Reed
01:02:19did a great job.
01:02:23Furthermore,
01:02:24on the way here,
01:02:25we took this case
01:02:26and created a video
01:02:27which we then
01:02:28published online.
01:02:29Within just one hour,
01:02:31the video's views
01:02:32exceeded 10 million.
01:02:33The vast majority
01:02:34of netizens
01:02:35unanimously support
01:02:36the defendant,
01:02:37Arthur Reed.
01:02:38They pushed him
01:02:39this far.
01:02:40I can only say
01:02:40that guy deserved to die.
01:02:42What a satisfying ending.
01:02:43I hope Arthur Reed
01:02:44is acquitted.
01:02:45If it weren't for
01:02:46the public outcry
01:02:47from this incident,
01:02:48I believe Arthur Reed's
01:02:50family would still
01:02:50be under pressure.
01:02:52We request your honor
01:02:53to handle this justly
01:02:54and give everyone fairness.
01:02:56The law is impartial,
01:02:57but people have feelings.
01:02:58The law should sympathize
01:02:59with the vulnerable.
01:03:00The vulnerable,
01:03:01like Arthur Reed,
01:03:01are the ones who need protection,
01:03:03not a shield for evildoers.
01:03:06Plaintiff,

01:03:09All rise.

01:03:18against Arthur Reed,

01:03:51in the entire incident,
01:03:52advised the perpetrators,
01:03:53and proactively reported
01:03:55the incident before it occurred,
01:03:56it has then decided
01:03:57not to prosecute him.
01:03:59Regarding the defendant,
01:04:00Arthur Reed's murder case,
01:04:01considering the mental
01:04:02and physical torment
01:04:03the deceased inflicted on him
01:04:05during his lifetime,
01:04:06and that Arthur Reed's
01:04:07act of killing with a knife,
01:04:08occurred under the deceased's threat,
01:04:10it constitutes self-defense.
01:04:12The verdict is as follows.
01:04:14Arthur Reed is not to be held
01:04:15criminally liable
01:04:16and is released immediately.
01:04:33Don't thank me.
01:04:35The one we should thank
01:04:36is Counselor Thorne.
01:04:40I nearly did what
01:04:41a lawyer should do.
01:04:46It's over.
01:04:48It's all over for me.
01:04:52Counselor Blackwood.
01:04:53Did I tell you to leave?
01:04:55What more do you want?
01:04:56Now,
01:04:56I intend to sue
01:04:57Julian Blackwood for perjury,
01:04:59oppressing and coercing
01:05:00the defendant's family,
01:05:01as well as intentionally
01:05:02destroying the defendant's property.
01:05:09After deliberation by this court,
01:05:10Julian Blackwood,
01:05:11a lawyer who knowingly
01:05:12violated the law,
01:05:13is found guilty
01:05:14of multiple crimes.
01:05:15The following judgment
01:05:16is rendered.
01:05:17Julian Blackwood is sentenced
01:05:18to eight years of imprisonment.
01:05:21Mr. Thorne,
01:05:22I'd like to ask,
01:05:23what made you decide
01:05:24to help Arthur read
01:05:24pro bono?
01:05:26I think,
01:05:27it's because of fairness.
01:05:29As a lawyer,
01:05:30what we must do,
01:05:31is uphold fairness and justice.
01:05:34Of course,
01:05:36no one can achieve
01:05:37absolute justice.
01:05:38The law must also
01:05:39have a human side.
01:05:43And as lawyers,
01:05:44when we face
01:05:44the vulnerable,
01:05:45we should especially
01:05:46lend them a helping hand.
01:05:48today in court,
01:05:50you also prosecuted
01:05:50your own protege.
01:05:51May I ask what the purpose
01:05:52of your actions was?
01:05:54Haven't I just answered that?
01:05:55What?
01:05:56Because of fairness,
01:05:58everyone is equal
01:05:58before the law.
01:06:00Well said.
