A series of new cases welcome Namgoong Min, Kim Ji Eun and the rest of their law firm in the new episodes of "One Dollar Lawyer." The two hot-and-cold judge advocates also see themselves getting closer to one another.
Cheon Ji Hoon's Confusing Case
Cheon Ji Hoon (Namgoong Min) and Baek Ma Ri (Kim Ji Eun) along with Sa Ma Jang (Park Jin Woo) continue to solve a cold murder case.
Due to their unfamiliarity, the two lawyers keep creating opposing decisions, setting an uncomfortable atmosphere.
In the new murder case, Cheon Ji Hoon realizes that the suspect once helped his landlady paint a mural on her building's wall, which was originally assigned to the chaotic lawyer.
He couldn't believe that the young man could do such a thing that Baek Ma Ri had to fill in his position. It is then revealed that the suspect was set up by the true culprit: his own father.
Because it is a cold case, no one wanted to represent the suspect until Cheon Ji Hoon who was adamant to clear the suspect's name unlike many power-hungry lawyers.
Looking for evidence, Cheon Ji Hoon and Baek Ma Ri pursue the victim's home. Unfortunately, the latter steps on a foreign object in the dark wherein the true culprit behind the murder was hiding behind the tree.

Although weirded out by this, Baek Ma Ri asks her parents to buy the painting. Cheon Ji Hoon hires an expert to look at the painting, which was apparently altered after the murder took place.

However, the lawyers don't believe him as the murder possesses layers, and they are sure that there's something more than meets the eye.
