Lawless Lawyer Live Recap Episode 12

Only 4 episodes left after this one so I expect a jam packed ride today of MS dodging the responsibility Jae-yi and Sang-pil are trying to pin her with. Soon-ja looks like she is ready to flip to Oh-ju’s side for her daughters well being and Yeon-hee looks like she is ready to do that as well, so I suspect they will be integral in putting MS behind bars in the coming days.

We added ads a couple days ago! Our first live recap with them went okay, so I guess they aren’t slowling our site at all? No one said they were so we’re going with that. If you do see any slowing-of-the-site-ishness then let us know on this post!

OPENING
JY tells SP to stand up and offers her hand. But he gets up on his own. JY thinks something is up, but GS runs in with the news of MS’s interview

On the news, a father tells MS that she gave a death sentence to my son! And hits MS with a bottle, this bottle cuts her and sends her to the hospital.

OJ thinks this willbury MS’s picture news, the gods mst be on her side. He asks GD if he is on her side. GD bows and apologizes. He asks OJ if he will visit her but OJ says no because she probably won’t welcome him, that’s why it is difficult to be mayor.

SJ calls OJ and yells for him to show up at the hospital. He tells her he is not deaf, he is going.

FIGHTING LAW FIRM
Everyone thinks she got what was coming to her. But SP tells them that she became a victim now so this is a bad thing. then he asks them to find a different angle for the father hitting MS scene.

HOSPITAL
A lot of supporters came to the hospital for MS. OJ shows up as well and asks SJ if MS is okay? SJ tells him that the gods helped her keep her site, if it was a little lower then she would have lost it.

MS wakes up and tells OJ to tell the reporters that she is unconcious now. Also, SJ, call the head of the prosecutors and news paper person. Then MS tells OJ to hurry adn go away.

OJ leaves like a servant but walks through the lobby like a boss. GD asks if MS has a grudge on him because of the picture? OJ syas yes, she is about to kill me, we have different faces behind our masks, if I do anything wrong then I’m dead, but I see the end.

He goes to the reporters and tells them that MS is unconcious right now. This tragic event happened in the city of Kiseung where the crime rate is so low. I am so sad as mayor, I will definitely ask for the responsibility.

FIGHTING LAW FIRM
SP and the team are able to get a behind the scenes video of the incident. It looks like MS knew what was about to happen and is using all of this on purpose. She is a scary person. JY says that MS knows several steps ahead. SP mutters that she made her weakness her strength.

In the hospital, MS smiles as she looks at the news.

In the lawfirm, the team all talk about how no one talks about MS’s picture anymore on the internet. Only her supporters have come out. SP tells them that she has had a lot of cases on in humane crimes so she knows how what crimes would cause the most passion in a fraction of a second. She is a victim from and accuser, so she will be happy with this result.

Cut to MS at the hospital, the head of the prosecutors shows up to meet MS. He says he will give a big sentence to the man, but MS tells him not to do anything. SJ and the head prosecutor are all like, huh? MS tells them to bring a lot of news teams to the police station.

MS shows up at the police station with her bandage and basically says that her judgement was right against his son, but she understands the heart of the parents. The man is there. She tells the reporters that she does not want to prosecute him. The man falls to his knees in regret and cries. MS basically comforts him.

SP asks if this happened on purpose? MS says are you asking if I did this on purpose? SP says yes, because of this your picture from 18 years is buried. MS says that picture is all fabricated, I gave my answer at the press conference before. She leaves, all her supporters chant their support.

They mention that she turns her chances to opportunities. SP tells JY to go home, she feels like something is strange.

On the news, JY’s appa is on the TV as one of MS’s greatest supporters. The sister comes in to JY’s room and asks to eat with her on her bed, she shares her food with her and sees if she is doing okay. JY tells her that her appa does not know anything about MS, the sister says that he will know soon. they joke for a moment about being a dating master, the sister says she is a little jealous of them, but fighting! Pop pop!

Meanwhile, SP broods out the window as he thinks about his meeting with JY’s mother on the beach. GS comes in at that moment. SP tells him that JY’s mother is alive. GS is all like, what? Does JY know about it? SP tells him that the mother wanted it to be a secret, so don’t tell JY.

SP meets with HJ again, this time it is on a rocky area. He says he will separate from JY, but he has one question. This journal, did you send it to me? He holds out the journal that explains all about MS. HJ flips through it but she says she didn’t send it to him. SP is confused, what? You didnt’ send it? She says she did not send it. SP covers his mouth as he thinks.

MS’S OFFICE
MS talks to the judge that stopped JY from practicing law, it seems like he might have family things? Ah, he is a representative of teh political party, he brings MS a huge gift that is an artifact that the Chinese emperor used to use. They says that all the media and everyone are back on her side now. MS smiles and says she just followed her own principles.

Another man comes in, the judge stands and shakes his hand. MS introsuces them two, she says this man is her person, they will move together.

MAYORS OFFICE
OJ is in his office with GD and another person, but he says that he has a bad feeling whenever they come there. GD cautiously puts the news on the desk, it says that the Golden City development stopped. OJ yells, what is going on with this? the man says that the golden city is on hold. OJ tells GD to call ID. Why is it stopped? The man says it is stopped from the Government office, they made an issue with it. MS should have taken care of everything. GD says that, maybe, MS changed her mind.

OJ storms out and goes right to MS’s office. ID is there in the office as well. OJ rails at them about the golden city, check the paper, it’s stopped! ID and OJ fight about this for a moment. MS tells them to stop fighting so OJ starts to tell her that he bought all the land for the golden city in her name but she is not even letting me start? MS tells him that she stopped it because it can be problematic in the future.

OJ says this is all that he wanted to do as mayor (or something similar). ID tells him that he did not become mayor by himself. OJ is incredulous, he tells MS that she ate OJ Group. MS tells him that he said he wanted to give OJ Group to Kiseung, which means that he wanted to give it to her.

OJ asks ID if he worked with MS behind the scenes against him? ID slpaos OJ a few times and tells him that they were just communicating, you stupid guy. OJ is stunned quiet, he whispers that the dog that someone raised, bit the owners neck, what do you think the owner can do? I did everything you asked me to do, but now anymore. I am going to do whatever I want to do from now on, expect that. He points his finger at ID and stares at MS.

Afterward, OJ rides int he car, quietly fuming. GD talks on the phone and tells someone that he did not do it and that the mayor will take care of everything. He gets off the phone and tells OJ that his son in law wants to build a building but the city would not let him, can you say something to the office?

OJ tells him to stop the car. GD stops the car. OJ asks him if he also wants to order him around? Is he his secretary? OJ starts beating him up and is about to hit him with a brick. GD apologizes profusely on the ground. OJ tells him to behave well, if he does it one more time then he will die without anyone knowing about it.

FIGHTING LAW FIRM
GS and SP wonder about the note. Who could have sent it? SP says he needs to check this out. The rest of the rowdy team shows up. SP tells them that they will do this mission their old ways from now on. They will work on the guy that made his uncle die. This time it is not fighting Mu, it is removing Mu. The team asks if he is going to kill him this time?

Cut to GD all bloody at a club. He has some anger management issues and starts throwing drinks and money at the club ladies. they call him crazy and run out of the private room. SP walks in right then and tells GD that he hasn’t seen him in awhile. Why are you here alone? GD yells that he didn’t do anything. SP tells him that he can play with GS a little bit.

GD is pretty drunk and starts walking toward SP on the table. Sp tells him to expect it. GD just laughs and stands up, but then he passes out drunk. The rowdy team members grab him, they are all dressed like they work for the club and just take GD away in their truck.

Cut to GD hanging over a pit with a blind fold on. He is hanging from his hands and is prodded awake. He asks SP where he is! Sp askshim if he really wants him to let him go? SP tells them to let him down. GD starts to fall further and further into this pit. SP tells him, hey, what you did to my uncle….what did you do after hanging (strangling?) my uncle? You dont say it? Say it if you don’t want to die right away.

I didn’t stab him! I didn’t stab him! Sorry!

So you didn’t stab him but you strangled him? I am going to do to you what you did to my uncle.

They call OJ? (or the camera just cuts to OJ).

GD starts getting dropped further and further into the pit. he cries, why are you doing this to me? I didn’t want to do it, you know that OJ told me to do it. SP asks him how he can trust him, you are nothing but GD. GD says he has all the video, he didn’t do it.

GS records GD’s voice or something. GD tells SP that he has to get his revenge against OJ, not him. SP tells them to cut the rope. GD falls and screams, but he lands in the bottom of the pit. SP tells him that he wanted to kill him himself, but OJ will take care of him, his way is different from him.

GG throws GD a bottle of water and tells him, fighting.

the team walks away thoroughly satisfied with their job. they wonder who they should tell first, they know the answer, let’s go!

OJ tells her to stop grumbling about money, she wants to know what they should do, he tells her that he thought she knew a lot, but he and her both don’t know anything.

SJ stands up and tells OJ that she can do anything. OJ tells her that they are similar in that regard.

But then there is a commotion in the hall outside, SP has come in. He is able to come all the way to the office. He wonders how the famous butler and OJ are speaking, does MS know this? He didn’t know they were this close, it is good to know this news. then he tells them that he doesn’t see GD there. Don’t you wonder where he is? There will be something interesting on the news.

SP starts to leave, but OJ calls him a crazy guy and then points a gun at him. SJ cowers, but SP walks right up to the barrel and stands there. OJ tells him, if you do those things then I will shoot you right in your head, okay? SP mimics the same motion with his finger and smiles. he walks out with OJ in a quiet rage.

FIGHTING FIRM
Back at the law firm, GG is amazingly happy with something that he found, he tells GS to look at this and he shows him a video. the video is of OJ and GD talking about DW coming there alone to protect his kid, the gods are helping him, hey, bring DW to me.

they think this is good evidence, they can send it all to soemone. But SP says they should put it on the internet first. they have to do that first before they put OJ in the courthouse. the other run off to do that, and SP grips his notebook.
