A WEEK UNTIL KIM JE-HYEOK'S APPEAL

WE BELIEVE HE WILL WIN IN THE END

If you're so worried, just go see him.

All right?

Just go meet him!

That's cold. What's wrong with you?

Is Je-hyeok okay?

Stay close by his side.

What if someone crazy picks on him?

Is he working out?

I hope his shoulder doesn't get stiff.

Why don't you tell him in person that you love him?

Come visit. I'll introduce you to him. He'll remember you.

No.

Why not?

I feel shy.

KIM JE-HYEOK

Unbelievable.

Hello, this is No Hong-chul, your host of FM Morning Show.

The temperature has dropped overnight.

You'd better dress warm before going to work.

Where are you headed for work?

An office? A shop?

Or a secret place that only you know about?

WING 6

WING 7

Who cares where we work?

The fact that you have somewhere to be today

is a blessing in itself.

I hope none of our listeners will swear or be sworn at today.

Have a happy and heartwarming day.

Bravo to all of you.

Food is here!

WING 7

MULTIPLE-OCCUPANCY CELL 7L6

What are you looking at?

The snow?

I guess you like snow.

There's a lunatic who climbs up the hill and waves--

I like ice cream.

Seeing all that snow is making me crave ice cream.

Sashimi, ramyeon, and ice cream.

Even Professor Myung can't get those three things.

You just need to wait a week.

Enjoy one after you win the appeal.

But there are some superstitions you need to watch out for.

I don't believe in superstitions.

Guys, your food is here.

They're typical superstitions.

Don't ever eat seaweed soup.

Don't eat eggs either.

If you must, don't ever break them.

You're trying so hard to suck up to the superstar.

Hey.

Do you think he'll even care about you once he's out?

To the high and mighty, we're nothing but dogs.

Actually,

it's an honor.

When will we ever get to eat with a superstar like him?

Hey! Errand Boy!

You damn punk.

Listen, you punk.

You call that spicy braised chicken?

Do you?

The market didn't send us any drumsticks.

I just deliver the food.

Who are you trying to fool?

Do you know who we have in this cell?

We have a superstar in here. Kim Je-hyeok, the superstar.

Goodness.

Some of us have to rot in here for getting into a small fight

while he gets to walk out after having beaten someone up.

What an unfair world.

But then, who knows?

Maybe God will have mercy and have him rot in here, too.

What?

It's a chicken neck.

It's huge.

He's very positive. We should learn from him.

MULTIPLE-OCCUPANCY CELL 7H5

What?

Nice. It's a drumstick. I got lucky!

Damn it!

-Give me that! -No, this is mine.

Get away!

-Go away! -Give me that!

Somebody help!

Oh, gosh! No!

Not there.

My drumstick!

Hello, sir.

As his fan, you must be excited. Congratulations.

Don't laugh.

-Hello. -Hi.

You got your wish, Officer Lee. You always talked about Kim Je-hyeok.

-Good luck with your appeal. -You'll definitely get out. Good luck.

I didn't know

that you loved me so much.

Shut it.

Just tell them

that we're friends.

No, it'll make things harder for us.

Keeping it this way makes it easier to look after you.

Stop eating ramyeon.

They say long noodles extend your term.

-I see. -Don't sit at the corner of the table.

Once you're out, you won't ever see these people again.

Don't give them your number or make promises to meet up.

But then, you're not the type to do so.

Your appeal is only days away, so be careful.

Especially people, and especially those on death rows.

There's someone I want to say goodbye to before I leave.

Who?

-Are there inmates on death row here? -Of course. This is a detention center.

We used to segregate them.

But now, they take part in group activities too.

Those on death row hold onto nothing.

They have no hope, so you must watch out for them.

Avoid them at all costs.

Especially the short one with gray hair and a star tattoo on his hand.

Inmate 2390, Kim Je-hyeok, face the wall.

I'm right, aren't I? You're not happy to see me, are you?

I didn't come because I wanted to.

Your mother wanted me to visit, so I had no choice.

I saw an inmate on death row.

I just saw someone on death row, Ji-ho.

What did he look like? Did he look frightening?

No.

He looked so ordinary.

That's what scares me more.

Inmate 2390, Kim Je-hyeok,

face the wall.

This is a very strange place.

It's not a suitable place to live.

That's what it's like in prison, silly.

You have a week left. Hang in there for one more week.

By the way,

why do you keep visiting when we broke up?

I told you a minute ago that your mother asked me to pay a visit.

Right.

You never listen. You just think about yourself.

What you see isn't everything.

What?

There's more to it than meets the eye.

Purchased items are here!

Don't believe everything you see, and trust no one.

Hello.

VISITING ROOM

Excuse me, ma'am.

Here you go.

This is for you.

Gosh.

It's all right.

PUBLIC SERVICE OFFICE

Don't worry so much, ma'am.

This place isn't as bad as you think. You don't need to worry.

During the remaining week,

act like you know nothing.

Just like how you always do.

I WISH YOU HAPPINESS

Thank you, Mr. Kim.

It's a pleasure to serve you, sir.

Hey, Errand Boy!

Come here.

Hey.

I know there's nothing you can't get.

Bring it to me before I scrape your eyes out.

Got it?

I can't get you a knife.

I'll get sent to solitary confinement.

I may get additional time.

That's your problem.

Either make one or steal it.

I want it by tomorrow.

Got it?

You hear me, you punk?

Go.

Can I have one?

No, it's the first item I bought with my money.

I wired you 4,000 won.

What happened, Son of Justice? I thought you were always broke.

My sister sent me 30,000 won. That's how I got this. It's all I have.

Don't you ask for any either.

Hold onto our shared items like Coke, orange juice,

margarine, and woolen gloves.

You'll be here for a long time.

I don't need them anymore.

You're free to share them.

It's because I'll be out next week.

I doubt it.

You don't know a thing about him, do you?

He's the famous White Money crook.

He put a white sheet of paper on a 50,000-won bill.

-This is iodine. -He applied iodine on top.

Take this paper.

Then he put saltwater in a small bottle and called it a magic liquid.

He claimed that adding five drops of it

could turn a white sheet of paper into a 50,000-won bill.

-My goodness. -It really works.

50,000 WON

He's that extraordinary con artist.

I'm not a con artist.

I'm a magician.

He was convicted seven times, all for fraud.

It's best to focus on one thing.

Mr. Kim, can I see you for a moment?

WARD OFFICE

It's not what you think.

You don't have to do all of it.

It's for our prison guards and volunteers.

We just need

one hundred autographs.

I'm sorry.

Can I get

-a cup of coffee? -Gosh.

You can have as many as you want.

One moment, please.

CHOI HYUN-WOO MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

THIS MONTH'S MENU

If I could, I'd ask you to stay here for longer.

But that's a terrible thing to say.

It's the downside of this job.

We can't say, "See you again" or "Hope to see you soon."

Goodness.

By the way, do you know Lee Joon-ho?

He's been talking about you nonstop ever since I can remember.

He's a huge fan of yours.

There we go.

Gosh, he's going overboard.

ESTABLISH ORDER

Thanks.

He's putting all of us to shame.

What's wrong with him?

What?

Look over there.

ESTABLISH ORDER

Thank you, sir.

I'm getting paid for it anyway.

It's a transit card. It's also used to make calls.

It costs 10,000 won per card, and inmates use it as cash.

When you're at a detention center, you can get visits every day,

but you can't make phone calls.

It's to prevent you from scheming things since your sentence isn't finalized.

That means those transit cards are useless here.

However, Seagull buys one every day to exchange it for a cigarette.

One transit card for one cigarette.

That means 1 cigarette costs 10,000 won.

They say everyone in Korea can ride the subway

with all the transit cards that Cho has received.

That's right. He received that many.

It's been broken for a long time.

What about that one?

It broke last year.

Hey, that one should cover it.

Right?

I was right. It shows the entire yard.

Not at all. I only see one man.

The wall and bench are 30 cm apart. That place is the only blind spot.

A death row inmate told me about it three years ago,

but I wonder how Chief Cho found out. He's impressive.

We can't ignore his experience.

Let me check something.

YARD

Gosh, the view stops right there.

This is why you can't beat experience.

Experience, my foot.

It's just a dirty trick.

I'm off, Seagull.

Chief Cho.

Have your connections been cut off?

Should I introduce you to a reporter?

Why aren't you reporting on Kim Je-hyeok?

Why is the press so quiet when he beat someone up?

Damn it. Are you also being careful around that punk?

Is that what it is?

Seagull, we need to talk.

Come here.

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER

Who do you think you are? You think we're on the same level?

How dare you act like we're friends.

There's a time for everything.

You'd better behave while you're here.

See you.

Gosh.

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER

Bye.

There's a church service today.

We already went to a Buddhist temple yesterday.

One isn't enough.

This appeal is important. You should pray to two gods.

Think of it as a doubleheader.

Plus, the Christian church serves a wider variety of snacks.

Sometimes, they serve waffles and cheesecake.

And the best part is that you can sing with the choir.

You can scream.

I see.

Hey, by the way...

Excuse me, Mr. Kim.

Here's a tennis ball. I stole one from the shed.

You can use it until you leave.

Hey, Errand Boy!

I told you to get me a knife, you punk.

This is why you need a beating every now and then.

Stand still. Look at me in the eye.

This is your last warning. I'll give you one more day.

If you have nothing by tomorrow, I'll stab you in the stomach. Got it?

Do you understand?

Hey, what are you doing?

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER

Workout time is over!

Will you be all right in this freezing weather?

Yes, I'll be fine.

How am I getting out?

I'll leave through the same door that I came in.

Mr. Kim, you should start packing too. We're getting discharged on the same day.

I have nothing to pack.

Dong-ho.

You'll be okay.

What are you doing?

Can't see you that he's dying?

Call an ambulance!

I'll count to three. One.

Chief Cho!

What are you doing?

Chief Cho.

Please call an ambulance.

Two.

Three.

I feel all right.

-Really? That was fast. -Yes.

Thank goodness.

Your acting has improved.

You almost had me there for a second.

Crazy fools.

Chief Cho, how did you know?

He took a shower and ironed his clothes.

He's the smelliest and dirtiest one at this detention center.

I see.

Right.

That idiot still thinks that his heart is on the right.

Just like you.

He wanted to go to the clinic.

It's a chance to get fresh air and see girls.

If you're lucky, you can even get a burger.

I see.

-It was just an act? -Yes.

Chief Cho recognized it right away.

Gosh.

Hey may be corrupt, but we can't badmouth him.

LEE JOON-HO

I guess he knows a trick or two.

I don't envy him at all.

My brother must be here. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Gosh, you're an obsessive freak.

Do you think he'll come?

Yes, he will.

-Should I put this on? -Stop it.

Should I take it off?

Do you sleep well?

Dad.

Will I be released on bail?

Of course.

Hang in there.

Are you sure my lawyer is from Kim and Chang?

Don't worry.

Your mom went to see him again today.

Oh, this...

So you noticed.

Those punks beat me up again--

What...

Kim Je-hyeok...

It's Kim Je-hyeok.

You're an embarrassment to the family.

What in the world...

I don't understand this guy.

Don't just sit there. Say hello to your idol.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Lee Joon-ho's...

My... My big brother...

I'm Lee Jun-dol, Joon-ho's younger brother.

You're acting like an idiot.

I remember seeing him back in middle school

at your place.

Yes, he's a year younger than me. We often had ramyeon together.

He's handsome.

He was normal back then,

but he became a fool after he became your fan.

Is he a student?

No.

With this face? No way.

Tell him what you do, Jun-dol.

To make this society better and more beautiful, I work hard...

Whatever.

My brother is actually...

Officer Lee, the security director needs you.

I'll leave you two to talk.

My dear brother, we only have a few minutes left.

Could you give us more time? Who knows when I'll see him again?

He'll be out two days from now. See him then.

Or go to the sauna together.

-Will you be free? -Of course.

By the way, there's a special service at the hall today.

Be there. It's a great place to scream. You know that, right?

But I don't really feel like screaming.

It's just noisy.

What do you do for a living?

VOLUNTEER ROOM 7L1

I'm off.

Where are you going?

The office. It's my turn to clean today.

I'll go. Get some rest.

Today, I'd like to talk about forgiveness, a lesson from Jesus Christ.

When someone hurts you, either physically or verbally,

it's difficult to forgive that person.

But Jesus told us to forgive our enemies as many times as possible.

Je-hyeok, you only have three days until your appeal.

Thanks to the presumption of innocence, a prison uniform isn't necessary.

However, the judge might not like that.

It's best to stay humble by wearing your uniform.

-In the name of the Lord. -Je-hyeok...

There's no way for inmates to know the inspection dates.

He was just unlucky.

They never seem to give us enough pork cutlets.

They wouldn't give us more, would they?

Do you want more pork cutlets?

Thank you.

It's nothing compared to your telling me about the inspection date.

I saw it by chance while signing autographs.

Did you pity him because Seagull bullied him?

That errand boy is a crook too. He's a low-life.

You're such a bad judge of character.

Why do you suddenly care so much about other people?

I didn't do it for him.

If an inmate dies during your shift, you end up with a ton of paperwork.

All the blame will be on you.

I'm telling you this because I think of you like a brother.

I really wanted to.

It's just that

I haven't thanked anyone in a long time.

Also,

no one has ever...

that was decided by the court during his first trial in January.

How will the court rule this time?

The media and his fans...

Hey, Reporter Seo.

Yes, I just finished.

It needs to be out before the trial to affect the court's decision.

Make sure to send it out tomorrow morning.

after he was struck by Kim with a trophy and had been receiving intensive care.

However, he is now brain dead.

The court says Kim's excessive violence,

which led the victim to be brain dead, was the basis for their ruling.

In other words, the court finds Kim Je-hyeok's actions

to be beyond self-defense.

With this ruling, Kim's one-year term is fixed,

and should he appeal,

experts say it's unlikely that the result will be overturned.

Meanwhile, KBO and the Korean Professional Baseball Players Association

expressed deep regret at the court's decision.

There has been much backlash from the public including his fans.

Fans, who have gathered in front of the courthouse

expecting him to get acquitted, are in great shock.

The representatives of the Boston Red Sox

also expressed their regrets on behalf of their team.

Nexen Heroes is also surprised by the unexpected...

Gosh, how are we going to face Kim Je-hyeok?

Professor Myung isn't back, right?

No, he's not.

Unbelievable.

Who's got his back?

The crook who stole 70 billion won gets to walk out.

Meanwhile, Kim gets sent back for beating up a rapist.

I still don't get how the world works.

Well, I heard rumors saying that

Professor Myung's father is a very powerful man.

Gosh.

Pardon?

Assemblyman Myung Seung-guk has been named

the new chairman of Hanguk Jeil Party in a landslide vote.

These results show that Myung will be a strong presidential candidate.

What's taking Officer Lee so long? He needs to take over the shift.

WESTERN DETENTION CENTER

It'll be a different cell.

I made a special arrangement so that you can be alone

until you get transferred.

It's all right, sir.

I don't want others talking about it. The original cell was fine.

Then let us know if you need anything.

Compared to other big-name criminals,

you didn't get any special treatment. Did he now?

No, not at all.

In that case,

I'd like to ask you a favor.

Sure. Ask me anything.

I didn't get to work out today,

so may I?

A workout?

Yes, of course.

-Thank you. -But wait.

The weather is...

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER

That crazy punk.

He's out of his mind.

I'm all right.

I'm not.

CAUTION SLIPPERY FLOOR

SAVE WATER

Break out of here.

-Switch uniforms with me and... -And do what?

Kill someone?

Who should I kill once I'm out?

The judge who gave me the sentence?

Or that scum who is brain dead?

I just got unlucky. There's no one to blame for that.

It's all right.

Nothing comes easy to me anyway.

By the way, was it on the news?

All day.

You were on the news all day.

Not about me.

Why isn't the reporter picking up?

All that damn sympathy from the public.

I can change it all.

Hey.

It's a single cell.

How nice.

This is great.

I love it.

Kim Je-hyeok, who is currently held in custody for assault

faced his second trial today.

The ruling was not overturned, and his one-year sentence has been fixed.

It's been on the news all day. I could repeat it in my sleep.

Hey, don't turn it off!

You should watch the news until the end.

Gosh.

Will Kim and his lawyers accept the result

or appeal to the Supreme Court? All eyes are on their next move.

What took you so long?

I'm sorry.

Meanwhile, Western Detention Center,

which is where Kim Je-hyeok is currently being held in custody,

is also at the center of attention.

Officers at Western Detention Center have previously declared

that they will treat Kim just like any other inmate.

Officer Lee.

You should come watch the news.

I heard they're covering something interesting tonight.

Incidents targeting loopholes in the law

do not seem to stop at detention centers.

GUARD MAKES ILLEGAL DEAL WITH INMATE

KBC News received a report

about illegal trades between inmates and officers

at Western Detention Center.

What you're seeing right now is a footage from the center's surveillance camera.

We obtained an exclusive footage of an officer named Cho

exchanging transit cards with cigarettes.

The transit cards are available for purchase

within the detention center.

Officer Cho is said to have received the transit cards from inmates

in exchange for cigarettes...

Wasn't that a blind spot? What happened?

I guess they fixed it.

Take a break.

You exercise way too much.

Look, I got this.

Where did you get this? You'll get in trouble for possessing this.

Give it back.

No, it's a bad time.

I'll give it to you in two days.

All right.

Can I throw it just once?

To where?

I'll just throw it outside. Wherever.

Really?

In that case,

the former teenage ace pitcher

will throw you a powerful pitch.

I fixed it.

That crazy fool.

Officer Cho faces additional charges

of bribery and assault on top of illegal trades.

He's expected to be dismissed from his post

while the inmate named Gal will face an additional trial.

Meanwhile, it's been revealed that Officer Cho also requested bribes

from the inmates' families.

It's all right.

Don't worry so much, ma'am.

This place isn't as bad as you think.

You don't need to worry.

I'll take good care of him.

I'll try my best.

But as you know, civil servants don't get paid a lot.

I wish my best for your son, but things aren't so easy.

I'd like to sneak in a warm blanket for him,

but that requires money.

I forgot to bring cash for my ride home.

Is there an ATM around here?

Yes, it's over there.

Please take good care of my son.

Don't worry.

Go ahead. I'll be waiting here.

Let go of me.

How did the reporters find out?

I'm not sure. Maybe they have a brother who works here.

No way.

There should be a thorough investigation

and adequate countermeasures to prevent further corruption.

This is Reporter Lee Jun-dol

on KBC News.

What do you do for a living?

I'm a reporter.

I'm a city desk reporter. I do investigative reporting.

Then how about

I give you a gift?

JE-HYEOK, DON'T WORRY

Je-hyeok, don't worry.

You'll win the appeal.

In the end, justice will prevail.

If, by any chance,

fate allows us to meet again one day,

I'll get you a more expensive ice cream.

Right now,

this is all I can afford.

I'm all right.

I'll be transferred soon.

Tell my mom and Je-hee not to visit.

I might not be here when they come.

I knew it was going to be a 50-50 chance.

For a moment, I even thought that

I might not be able to get out.

I'm all right.

I promise.

Really?

Are you really all right?

Are you?

You're going to rot in prison for a year.

You even signed a contract with the MLB!

Are you serious right now?

Damn it!

This is so freaking frustrating!

I'm back.

Was he all right?

My baby.

He must've felt terrible.

He looked completely fine.

He's doing better than you think.

You know how strong your son is.

-Is that true? -Yes.

I think he saw it coming.

He seems to be doing much better. So you don't have to worry.

Don't visit him so often.

You're about to start a new semester.

It's okay. I want to visit him.

Seoul isn't too bad, right?

The food isn't as good as in Gwangju, but it's not so bad here.

Je-hee's lucky to live with you. She gets to eat homemade food every day.

He's perfectly fine, so don't worry.

He's really all right.

You know how he is.

He was more worried about you than himself.

Gosh, I envy you for having a big brother.

I wish I had a brother like him.

I didn't mean to make you cry.

Je-hee, Je-hyeok is doing well. He's completely fine.

You know how slow he is.

He probably forgot about it all.

Je-hee.

Maybe it's better to be slow like him.

I thought he'd be hopeless and in despair.

If I were him, I would've lost all hope.

But Je-hyeok was different. He was his usual self.

He even went to work out.

Listen, Jun-dol.

Wash up, eat something, and get ready for work.

Are you sure?

Yes, he's completely fine.

You know Je-hyeok.

He's a man who never gives up!

In 2005, his left shoulder was shattered due to a car accident.

Everyone thought that he had no chance as a pitcher.

But he focused on rehabilitation.

He went to the gym and physiotherapy clinic

for training and therapy every single day.

Then after four years in 2009,

he participated in the Nexen Heroes' open tryout.

They called it a tryout, but it was more like war.

It was the last hope for many players,

and Je-hyeok also applied to give it a shot.

Gosh.

Among 50 participants, he was the only one who made it.

He's been on a roll since then.

However, the most important fact is that

despite the trials and tribulations,

Je-hyeok never once got disappointed or lost hope.

WORKOUT SKEDULE

WORKOUT SCHEDULE

Even when life tries to devour him with unexpected waves

he might be in a daze,

but he always sails through the storm with a smile on his face.

That's our Je-hyeok!

I would've cussed at this world for all the nonsense.

Je-hyeok is a living Buddha, not a piece of trash like you.

Ouch. Gosh.

Mr. Kim.

Are you joining the church service today?

-You may stay in. -I'm going.

Oh, I see.

Do not curse but bless your enemies.

That's right.

As the children of God,

we need to show love.

A new life.

My dear brothers at Western Detention Center.

In the name of the Lord,

I hope that you will change your lives

and make the Lord proud.

-Amen. -Amen.

Now,

let us sing hymn number 388 and bask in God's glory.

Today, we have a college youth band joining us.

Damn it.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Damn bastard!

What kind of crap is this?

Why?

Damn it!

Damn you all!

Damn you!

-Yes! -Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

GINGER TEA

I feel so bad for Kim Je-hyeok.

So let's be nice to him.

How long do you think he'll be in here? He'll be transferred soon, right?

How would he know? Even the Lord doesn't know our transfer dates.

Kim Je-hyeok might be able to find out.

He managed to figure out the inspection date.

Figuring out his transfer date will be a piece of cake.

What do you mean?

I got Seagull in trouble

because Kim Je-hyeok told me.

He told me the date beforehand,

and I set up a trap at the right time.

Oh, man.

Justice prevails.

Are you serious?

That's unbelievable.

I wonder how he found out.

DISCIPLINARY WARD

WESTERN DETENTION CENTER WING 6, LOWER FLOOR

Mr. Kim.

You'll have company tonight.

He was out for three days. It's about time he comes back.

Good night.

WE WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR FAMILY

Are you feeling better...

Die, you bastard.

How are your cellmates?

I heard it's no joke.

Prison is nothing like a detention center.

Train this newbie.

Gosh, it's pouring.

-Gosh. -What's the matter with you guys?

Father.

Kim Je-hyeok won't tell on us, right?

That won't happen.

I hope nothing happens.

Aren't you going to work?

How are we paid for overtime work?

Watch your mouth.

Our overtime won't get recorded.

You need to unload this before dinner.

This isn't right.

-No, don't. -Do you think I'm a fool?

Gather everyone up.

It will be all right.

Why did you butt in?

Just lie low.

Why did you have to butt in and make me look like a fool?

Was the visitor your girlfriend?

Or a lover?

Can I ask why you two broke up?

I don't want to tell you.

You've known each other for so long.

Who was it?
