Your Honour episode 1 recap

The first episode started with Kim Kang-heon jogging around the prison field of Woowon prison and the warden of the prison running behind him. After complementing Kim Kang-heon on his health the warden proceeded to thank him for his promotion even after an incident that had taken place. Kim got a phone call from his second son Kim Sang-hyeon, thanking him for the motorbike he got him.

Meanwhile, Song Ho-young had an asthma attack while returning from Woowon Memorial Hall after visiting his mother's ossuary and lost control of his car and collided with Kim Sang-hyeon's motorbike that was coming from the other side. Ho-young called 119 but he couldn't speak. He called his father Song Pan-ho. However, being on the seat of the judge in an ongoing trial at that moment he had his phone off and couldn't answer his son's phone.

After the trial, Pan-ho discovered missed calls from his son and rushed home, where he found him covered in blood. His son confessed to an accident and fleeing the scene. As an honest judge, Pan-ho urged his son to confess and took him to the police the next day. At the precinct, Pan-ho learned that the victim had died and was Kim Sang-hyeon, the son of crime boss Kim Gang-heon. Shocked, Pan-ho hurriedly took his son and drove away, leaving his son surprised.

Back in the prison, the warden let Kim Kang-heon know he had requested a furlough to see his son one last time. However, Kang-heon told him to prepare for his release instead of a furlough.

Returning home Pan-ho asked his son to write down every single detail of what happened after the accident without leaving anything out. He went to his son's car and carefully got rid of any possible evidence including his son's bloodied clothes. He burned all the evidence and then dumped them in a decomposing truck. With the help of a video, he started taking off the headlights of his Son's car and replaced them with move ones.

Pan-ho also scolded Ho-young and asked him to stop pitying himself when he was the one who killed a person. He turned on the news to show him how serious the situation was and who Ho-young had killed.

After being released from jail, Kang-heon visited his son's body and learned that his son could have survived if taken to the hospital. He discovered it could have been treated as a hit-and-run with a sentence of up to five years, which deeply shocked him. Hearing the 199 calls his son made before dying, Kang-heon broke down in tears, holding his son's hand.

At Sang-hyeon's funeral, Ma Ji-yeong expressed doubts about someone intentionally killing her son and accused her older son, Sang-hyuk, but was stopped by her daughter, Kim Eun. Kang-heon asked Sang-hyuk to return to America. Leaving the funeral, Sang-hyuk vowed to find his brother's killer and bring them to justice, as he told reporters.

Pan-ho went to a restaurant with assemblyman Jeong Yi-haw and discussed his wife's death and how his son might been affected by that. After getting home Pan-ho saw Ho-young had written down the details. He sat down beside him and said that after hearing the incident all he could think about was how to save Ho-young.

Meanwhile, a a member of the gang Boodu Gang who was chopping human bodies with his workers got a call from assemblyman Jeong Yi-hwa. After hearing something from the assemblyman he called Lee Song-Taek.

The next day early in the morning a man named Lee Sang-taek got rid of Ho-Young's car upon Pan-ho's say. In the morning Pan-ho visited his wife's ossuary with his son and noticed all the CCTV cameras in the area being replaced and learned that there were merely any records in the cameras.

Later Sang-hyuk went to a shady restaurant to meet a gang of criminals and ordered them to find out who killed his brother or he would take it to be their work.

Back in the funeral home Kang - heon kept Listening to the call recording of the 199 calls made from his son's Phone and he realised the voice to not be his son's.
