His partner salutes back and hugs him tearfully, and down the hallway, Hong-joo watches with tears of her own. He says that that’s enough for him, and then puts on his hat to salute him one last time. Woo-tak’s lip begins to quiver and he barely holds back his tears as he touches his police badge and says, “It never felt like it was mine, so it always felt heavy and difficult.” But he adds that he wanted to carry the burden and was happy when working with his partner. He asks what Woo-tak’s strict parents will say when they find out that he threw away his police university education, but Woo-tak finally tells him the truth-that his parents divorced and each remarried long ago, and couldn’t care less about him. Hong-joo runs through the courthouse looking for Woo-tak and finds him getting yelled at by his partner, who shouts that he should’ve kept his mouth shut and said that he didn’t remember anything. Yoo-bum calls after him and gets left all alone in the courtroom, right in front of the prosecutors. Yoo-bum’s defense attorney advises him to consider a plea bargain to reduce his sentence, and tells him curtly that another lawyer from their firm will be representing him for the rest of the trial. Jae-chan’s hand is still shaking badly as the hearing ends, and Woo-tak sends him a text using his words from the night before: “Let’s not be awkward. Woo-tak smiles sadly to himself and then looks up at Jae-chan, who looks back at him with a devastated expression. It’s accurate enough to make his testimony credible, and the defense starts to sweat. Woo-tak begins to describe the umbrellas in more detail-their handles, the shapes, the exact patterns-and then compares the green umbrella to Yoo-bum’s necktie, which is also green, and the red umbrella as being close to Jae-chan’s prosecutor robes, which is reddish. The defense tries to dismiss Woo-tak’s testimony altogether, but Woo-tak argues that he only sees colors differently, and that his vision is better than most.

He balls up his fist and finally says, “I can’t distinguish between colors very well.” ![]() His partner shakes his head and Hong-joo braces herself, knowing that Woo-tak won’t lie under oath. Jae-chan says that the witness will prove that the two umbrellas found on the first floor with Yoo-bum’s fingerprints are the same ones he saw that night, and asks Woo-tak to describe them.īut when Jae-chan asks what color they are, Woo-tak hesitates. Woo-tak gets sworn in as a witness, and testifies that he came to the roof that night and found Yoo-bum carrying Hong-joo, and two open umbrellas on the ground. He’s worried that Yoo-bum will flee the country after today’s hearing, so they rush to get that process started. Just before the hearing resumes, Chief Choi tells the prosecutors that they need to put Yoo-bum on the no-fly list, because he saw a suitcase in the backseat of Yoo-bum’s car this morning.
