" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

This is the worst.

He needs an operation. Let's send him out right now.

Okay, I guess we should.

Why does he do this?

He chews up ballpoint pens as a side dish.

-It's urgent. Take him right away. -Okay.

Isn't it tasty?

Are you in pain?

You'll be all right.

All right, try this.

Like this.

You were so lucky.

You should still be careful until the results are out.

Okay. Thank you.

How are your cellmates? I heard it's no joke.

Prison is nothing like a detention center.

I hope nothing happens during the next ten months.

But then again, people still survive in here.

Out of your cells!

Water for ramyeon!

Hot water!

Are you kidding me? Is this supposed to be a joke?

You punk.

Do you think this is hot enough to cook ramyeon?

Damn it.

You must be out of your mind.

"Damn it"?

Do you have a death wish?

No, I'm sorry.

If you're sorry,

do your job right. Do you understand?

-We're very sensitive about ramyeon. -Okay.

Hey.

Just take what you're served.

Just take what we give you, all right?

Unbelievable.

Do you think you're at a hotel?

You don't even deserve water for ramyeon.

You bastards!

Give me my medicine!

-My goodness. -Give it to me!

-What's with him? -Give me my medicine!

You damn punks.

Put on your shoes and come out.

Give me my medicine, you punks!

Please?

Read a book like Mr. Kim over there.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS

Hey, guys.

According to Article Ten of General Provisions

for the Administration and Treatment of Inmates Act,

hot water in the facility is to be handled at 70 degrees

-to prevent burns-- -You're rambling again.

You get on my nerves.

Hey, KAIST.

Why don't we tear out his Achilles heel?

Gosh, it's hot in here.

PENOLOGY

I heard you can't get hard because it paralyzes the lumbar spine.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS

A PROPER CORRECTIONAL PROGRAM

Mr. Kim.

You didn't hear anything, okay?

Just pretend like you didn't hear anything.

You got it?

Hear what?

You're quick-witted indeed.

Father.

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

If this gets out, it'll be over for us.

That won't happen.

Why not?

Kim Je-hyeok really didn't hear us.

I see.

Now, cut the nonsense.

Tonight is the big night.

Let's hope it pours tonight.

If you want out, say it now.

We're grateful to be a part of this. Don't worry.

The same goes for us.

But can we really do this on our own?

We have a technician this time.

KAIST is our engineer.

Kang Cheol-du.

That's our errand boy who waits on our hands and feet.

Yong-sik holds the last key.

He has to do the final job for us.

Luck is on our side.

Let's live like humans even if it's just for one day.

They close the cell doors at 5 p.m. Reporting is at 6:30 p.m.

Let's do it between 7:10 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

Officer Paeng will head to the ward office at 7 p.m.

Within a minute, we'll hear him snore.

We'll begin as soon as the big errand boy hands us a note.

The final job

will be done by Yong-sik.

We will

leave it up to fate.

Is there anything I can do?

I feel so nervous.

Pray to the heavens

for a downpour.

Enough rain for us to think that there's a hole in the sky.

Pray for a big downpour.

That's the only way

we'll survive this.

What's taking the errand boy so long?

Is he not here yet?

It won't work?

That's ridiculous.

But you're an engineer.

We don't have time.

Leave it all to Yong-sik.

Father, I don't think it'll work.

How can we get to the control box with a wire?

Even if it's Yong-sik, this won't work.

We gave him a job to do, so we must trust him.

Damn it.

It won't budge. What do we do?

Father, hurry.

Otherwise, we're all busted.

Officer Paeng will wake up soon. What do we do?

All the answers can be found in the Bible.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS

That punk.

-Kill him. -Father.

Succeed by all means, even if we have to kill him.

All right?

Damn it.

We got it. Hurry.

Father.

This time, we'll get a whiff of the outside world.

A whiff won't be enough.

Is everything else ready?

What is it?

It looks delicious.

Gosh.

If you had read the product manual properly,

we wouldn't have had to sacrifice Yong-sik.

Japanese.

That darn errand boy

brought me a manual in Japanese.

I couldn't understand a word.

He's an idiot.

KAIST.

Switch with Bak-sa.

He deserves some too.

All right.

Thank you.

Father, what about him?

Right.

Mr. Kim Je-hyeok.

Come and have some ramyeon.

It's hot ramyeon, which is impossible to get in prison...

Here.

By the way, what happened to Yong-sik?

Gosh, poor Yong-sik.

PERSON IN CHARGE: PARK YONG-SIK

TEMPERATURE SETTING

You did a great job.

Eat up.

-It's getting soggy. Eat up. -Yes.

Eat up.

Which ramyeon is this?

It's always Shin Ramyeon.

Jin Ramyeon?

Shin Ramyeon.

Guys, I'm off to the next cell.

All right.

They're eating Chapagetti.

Goodness.

It's raining, and we're having a feast.

It finally feels like a decent life.

It'd be perfect if I had a woman.

Was the visitor

your girlfriend?

Or a lover?

Who was it?

Her name is Kim Ji-ho, right?

She must be your girlfriend.

Was she a stranger?

No.

Then who was she?

I don't want to tell you.

You're the frustrating type.

The type that can be very annoying.

" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

Has the semester begun?

I guess it's going to start soon.

You must be busy.

Your mother told me to visit you again.

She wanted me to check if your shoulder was really all right.

Yes, I know.

I'm sorry.

I'll be too busy to visit once school starts.

It's all right.

I'm busy too.

I'm working at a woodshop.

Last year, I went to Jeju Island with my mom,

and we went on a strawberry picking tour.

Yes?

My mom started picking strawberries like crazy.

Don't work too hard.

Right.

That's not your job.

-I'm not a fool. -You are.

Don't worry. The leader treats me well.

He's a good man.

Good man, my foot.

There's no good man in prison. Don't be fooled. They're all bad guys.

Including me?

Yes, including you.

By the way, you've become so talkative.

I wish you were like this before.

Did I not talk much?

No, you didn't.

I did all the talking.

You were a terrible boyfriend. That's why we broke up.

You're only good at baseball.

I'm good at making chairs too.

My gosh.

Why don't you

just take a break?

Okay.

KEEP ORDER

KEEP ORDER

SAFETY FIRST

There we go.

Hey. Wait.

I should head back.

To finish all of that,

they'll have to work overtime.

I'll leave it to you.

Okay.

Goodness.

-I'll leave it up to you. -What?

-Do you want some coffee? -Sounds good.

Hey, Jung-su.

Yes?

-One cappuccino. -Okay.

No, don't.

Stay seated. Your shoulder hasn't healed yet.

It's all right. I'm fine.

No way.

No, I'm...

I'm really all right.

Hurry up already.

He says he's fine.

Mr. Kim's shoulder is injured.

Can't he do something else?

Please.

What's this nonsense? Who are you to speak for him--

Hey.

Why are you so stiff?

Je-hyeok, let the others handle this.

Can you take the sawdust to the back?

It's all right. I can do this.

The sawdust is important too.

Just go before I change my mind.

Thank you.

You need to unload this before dinner.

Please speed up the work.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Damn it.

Father, didn't you go to gardening class?

They were going to clean the greenhouse, so I just skipped it.

Guys with long sentences have it so easy.

We had to clean all day long.

My gosh.

Maybe it's because we have someone with a long sentence,

but we haven't gotten a new cellmate.

Gosh, it's nice and spacious here.

Do you think this is your living room?

Come on, move it.

Jean Valjean. Train this newbie.

His name is

Yu Han-yang. Say hello.

All right, let's go.

WING 5

The people at the woodshop are working overtime again.

They always work overtime.

The leader will be rich enough to buy a building soon.

Isn't he a nice guy though?

The problem is that bossy man who works under him.

CHICKEN DRUMSTICK

SHIN RAMYEON

Nice. It's tuna.

Are you happy?

Of course.

Where's Mr. Kim Je-hyeok?

The leader wanted to see him. I guess they're talking for a bit.

I want to get his autograph too.

I'm sorry.

It's for the CEO of one of our clients. He's been hassling me for your autograph.

I couldn't bare it anymore.

No, it's all right.

Thank you.

Wait, don't sign this.

This is

for you.

I told the CEO that I couldn't ask for an autograph for free.

I asked for one more ball.

Keep it.

If you hold it during the inspection, they won't say anything.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

You should go eat. Thank you.

KEEP ORDER

Nice.

By the way, how are we paid for overtime work?

Does the pay come into our account?

-Watch your mouth. -Pardon?

Leader Yeom takes it all.

What?

Leader Yeom takes it. Officer Lee has his back.

Our overtime won't get recorded.

It's like running a factory all night for free.

What about us?

At least we get to eat tuna.

This isn't right.

What else can you do?

I'll solve it by law.

Gosh.

Is he in your cell?

Yes.

We're cellmates.

Why?

Who is he?

He's new here.

He keeps dropping the honorifics.

That damn druggie.

He's crazy.

Hey, get up.

Hey, we meet again.

Je-hyeok, are you stalking me or what?

We were at the same detention center.

You know him, right? Kim Je-hyeok.

He needs a beating, doesn't he?

Where are your honorifics?

You scum!

Talk to me with respect.

Use honorifics! Move!

What's the matter with you guys?

According to Article 96 of General Provisions

for the Administration and Treatment of Inmates Act--

He's crazy too!

Come here. I'll kill you.

You damn punk.

-You're dead meat. -I never asked, you punk!

You bastard!

-You crazy punk! Get him! -Hit him.

I found some nice photos of you two.

I thought it'd be nice to send a few photos along with my letter.

Am I going overboard?

When?

Last fall.

I haven't told your mother yet. I'll tell her when it's the right time.

So I don't think you should send those photos.

Why did you break up?

Can I ask why you two broke up?

Because it was one-sided.

I was the only one in love.

If it were one-sided,

would he have traveled to Seoul just to give you medicine for your cold

after his game in Busan?

HERBAL MEDICINE DIAGNOSTICS

If you win today, will it be a sweep?

FALL OF 2015

I'm not okay.

All the pharmacies are closed at this hour.

Why did you go cycling in the cold?

What else could I do?

My boyfriend is too busy,

and I have too much time.

I'm fine.

I can go hiking and cycling by myself. I will travel the world too.

It will be all right.

Hello?

Yes.

I'm kidding.

I'm just talking nonsense...

due to the cold.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep.

Good luck with your game today. You can do it, Je-hyeok.

We love you!

Je-hyeok!

WE LOVE YOU

-Kim Je-hyeok! -Kim Je-hyeok!

The person you have called is unavailable. Please leave a message after the beep.

MEDICINE

Are you all right? Goodness.

None of the pharmacies are open yet.

Where did you get this?

I thought it was from you.

How would I get medicine late at night?

For a moment,

I thought about getting medicine from Je-hyeok's team doctor, but...

Oh, gosh.

Did he stop by?

He's insane.

He's out of his mind.

Are you a batter now?

What if we put you on the mound today?

I'm the starting pitcher today.

I apologize.

Wait a minute.

Ji-ho.

Ji-ho.

Hey, Ji-ho. Wait.

Ji-ho.

I'm sorry.

I'm almost done. Go back to sleep. Sorry.

PETITION

WE URGE THE WOODSHOP TO PAY US FOR OUR OVERWORK

Let's see. Page 78.

Can we get some sleep?

Let me sleep.

I'm sorry. I'm almost done. Sorry.

PENOLOGY

I thought you were done writing the petition.

This is a report.

Pardon?

It's a report. It might be good for you to know.

If you have any issues

related to medical or visit requests, or balance inquiries,

you write them down on a piece of paper--

It's for self-defense. Damn it.

I will be killing him for self-defense.

Who wants to join me?

I can't handle it anymore. He needs a beating.

After killing him,

we'll confess and get some sleep.

-That hurts! -Hey!

You punk.

You've been writing all night! Let me sleep!

-Die, you scum. -You little pest.

Auntie, that table is having a brawl.

If you change our grill,

I'll call you Pretty Auntie.

Let us sleep, okay?

REPORT

My goodness.

Why did that lunatic have to join our cell?

Damn it.

Listen, KAIST.

Can you please wash?

You stink so much.

We're having a hot shower in three days.

I don't want my penis to freeze.

It's very precious to me.

Goodness.

Stop picking your nails with a highlighter.

Why do you even waste your time on your ugly nails?

Speak for yourself.

Stop licking that cough powder like a druggie.

Then put something on the floor before you sit down.

You're so nasty.

What did you say?

Did you just drop the honorifics, you damn thief?

What?

-"A thief"? -Yes, thief.

There are classes in prison.

You're a wimp who got locked up for stealing bread.

You little Jean Valjean.

What about yourself?

You didn't do anything great either.

What did you...

-Did you just talk down to me? -That's right.

-So what? -Why you little...

You two must be dying to get sent to solitary confinement.

You're determined to get me in trouble, aren't you?

Shall I send all of you to solitary confinement?

No, sir. I'll talk some sense into them.

Goodness. You scums.

Can't you behave for just one day?

I'm sorry, sir. We'll be quiet.

I'm sorry.

Gosh, behave yourselves.

Please!

Wait, sir.

-Me? -Yes, Officer Paeng.

Here's a report.

And please speak to us in honorifics.

What?

According to Article Four of General Provisions

for the Administration and Treatment of Inmates Act,

you must respect the human rights of inmates.

Thus, honorifics must be practiced.

I see.

All right.

I got it.

You want a hot shower every day?

Yes. Currently, we're allowed one hot shower a week on Saturdays.

But I believe it's inhumane treatment.

As far as I know, the warden has the flexibility to change

the regulations on the use of hot water.

If my proposal doesn't get accepted,

I'll write a petition directly to the Ministry of Justice.

I never thought you'd prove your worth here, Bak-sa.

Father, this is why it's important to express yourself.

See?

We spoke our thoughts, and they gave in.

Hey, Mullae-dong. Why aren't you washing your hair?

What for? We'll take another hot shower tomorrow.

Today, I'll wash my body. Tomorrow, I'll wash my hair.

Anyway, I feel bad for Je-hyeok.

It's all because of that damn druggie. My goodness.

We can't leave him alone.

That's the rule, so I hope you understand.

I don't mind. I like the peace and quiet.

Mr. Kim Je-hyeok has injured his left shoulder severely.

It's difficult for him to perform hard labor,

which is required at the woodshop.

I request your kind consideration on this matter.

I also hereby request a systematic

and professional medical care and rehabilitation for him.

I apologize.

Goodness.

The overtime pay isn't much. How could you think of taking that?

I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm sorry.

Misunderstanding, my foot.

Officer Lee.

Do you think I'm blind?

Anyway, the warden will take care of men on that side.

You'd better deal with everyone here.

Yes, I'll take full responsibility.

Officer Lee, behave yourself.

Don't do anything fishy. Got it?

I can't stand this.

Who was it?

Don't worry about it, Officer Lee.

I'll take care of it.

PRECISION AND ACCURACY

Everyone, stop.

Stop what you're doing. I have an announcement.

There was a slight misunderstanding. I hope you understand.

Whatever the reason may be, it's all my fault.

I should've been more careful.

I apologize.

The overtime pay that you didn't get due to our server error

will be sent to you by next weekend.

This won't happen again,

so do not worry.

Please continue to do your best.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Shall we get back to work?

Let's get back to work.

Ouch.

Oh, my.

-Errand Boy. -Yes?

Get new glasses for Bak-sa right away.

Okay, I will.

TRANSIT CARD

This should cover it.

No, it's okay.

-Gosh. -Are you all right?

Je-hyeok.

Why did you put the table there? Bak-sa got injured.

I mean, come on.

You should've moved the table when you saw him passing by.

Why are you so slow?

Are you all right, Bak-sa?

Is it bad? Do you want medicine?

I have some ointment. Do you want it?

It's all right.

But you hurt your foot.

They're so stingy.

We were expecting chicken, but it's full of chicken necks.

They should've just told us that we were going to get chicken necks.

I'll take care of it.

-Yes! -Yes!

Don't worry. Let's just eat.

-We love you. -We love you.

Oh, right.

Rumors say that A Better Tomorrow is on TV tomorrow.

Can you do something about it?

It's my favorite movie.

Do we get cable channels?

Detention centers only have one channel.

We only get one channel here too.

I bet no one watches Screening Humanity as much as we do.

Right, Father?

I really want to watch A Better Tomorrow.

Isn't there anything you can do?

No way. It's impossible.

I guess I was too brazen.

If I ask it for free, I'd be a thief.

What?

Aren't you all thieves?

Whoever gets the job done can eat this.

-I'm in. -I'm in.

I'll try, Father.

Father, you just wait.

Tomorrow, you'll see Chow Yun-fat on A Better Tomorrow.

Father, don't worry.

A thief? You punk.

WESTERN PRISON

Aren't you going to wash up?

What are you doing?

Please use honorifics.

I don't want to.

Officer Paeng, aren't we getting a hot shower today?

We didn't even wash our faces this morning.

Do you think this is a hot spring or what? You're being ridiculous.

Stop talking nonsense and get ready for work.

Would anyone like to apply to meet with the warden?

-No, right? -Me.

What's with you, Jean Valjean?

You'd better not say anything unnecessary to him.

You got that?

Here's a sports newspaper, Mr. Kim.

What's going on here?

Is something wrong?

Yes, the Ministry of Justice carried out an inspection.

They ran an inspection all day yesterday.

That's why many people got busted.

Aren't you going to work?

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

Work is over. Start cleaning up.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Gather everyone up.

Whose is it?

It's mine.

This is serious. You could get sent to solitary confinement.

Call it a day today.

Skip the chant and go back to your cells. Except you, Mr. Kim Je-hyeok.

Go ahead.

It will be all right.

I'm letting you go just once.

You wouldn't have done it on purpose,

but this is serious enough to send you to solitary confinement.

Thank you.

Anyway,

train them well.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Since this is partly my fault,

I'll take those guys and finish up.

See you tomorrow, sir.

Oh, right. Officer Lee, wait.

Je-hyeok.

What was that for?

Why did you butt in?

Why?

You need to learn when and when not to get involved.

Learn to read the room!

Just lie low.

Why can't you just stay clueless and quietly serve your ten months?

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

Je-hyeok.

I pleaded to Officer Lee, but you'll still get penalty points.

You'll lose them if you don't cause trouble.

Don't worry too much.

But for your information...

People need to know

when not to step over the line.

Right?

Things like this really tick me off.

You damn bastard!

I told you to watch it, didn't I?

Didn't I?

Tell me.

How many times did I warn you?

How many times did I warn you?

I warned you!

Why would you embarrass me like that?

Please forgive me.

I told you

not to mess with him.

Did I not?

Je-hyeok, are you all right?

Did that scare you?

He won't cause any trouble anymore.

So don't worry.

Je-hyeok.

Come here.

Come on.

Je-hyeok.

I'm a good man. Why are you so tense?

What's with the look?

I'm telling you. I'm a good man.

I love the smell of sweat on athletes.

Relax.

I'm your fan.

I watched all four of your games in the last Korean Series.

You can't treat your fans like this.

Hey.

I've got my eyes on you.

You shouldn't treat me like this.

How many times did I cover for you?

Let me go!

You need to be quiet.

Damn it.

Access granted.

Officer Lee, you're still here.

I'm heading out. Thanks for your work.

It's okay. Let him go.

Stay still.

Officer Lee, your daughter must be waiting.

Shouldn't you go...

What are you doing here?

Well...

I guess you aren't familiar since you're new,

but you can leave it to me to wrap things up here.

In other words, you may continue your way, sir.

I got permission from Section Chief Shim.

I wasn't informed of anything.

Go back to your cells.

You don't understand.

We still have work to do.

I told you to go back

to your cells.

Gosh.

Inmate 8310.

Did you not hear me?

Everyone, go back to your cells.

Understood?

Yes.

Jean Valjean, it's time to meet the warden.

-Yes, sir. -Make it short.

I have many movies to watch.

Don't talk nonsense. Just eat some snacks.

Yes, sir.

I'll be back soon. Wait for me.

Ten minutes before the movie starts.

Are you all right?

Has it been resolved?

-Yes. -I'm glad to hear that.

Here's a cup.

Hold on.

Ta-da.

For an antenna to receive a signal,

we need current.

This copper wire will act as the antenna, which is similar

to what we used to have on rooftops back in the old days.

It's cable TV.

It's on cable.

I'll stay calm and move on to Plan B.

This is going to be the real deal.

We're going to remove

this frame underneath.

What?

We can't change the channel

because this has been blocked.

We will scorch this plastic frame,

rip it off,

and switch the channel manually.

HARU MILK

The buttons have been soldered.

Damn it.

I knew it wouldn't be easy.

Just give up.

Is it not working yet?

I can't believe that guy.

What did you do to that poor TV?

I really didn't want to do this.

The absolute principle in electric engineering.

Hit it if it doesn't listen.

Machines are like people.

It's the same with kids, adults, TVs, and washing machines.

Just beat them if they don't listen.

It should make them obedient.

Hey, come on.

Wait.

It might just work.

What kind of burger was it again?

Come on. Take it out.

What?

What?

Which channel was it again?

Let's see.

Here it is.

Channel 33.

There we go.

Give me my burger, please.

KIM YONG-CHEOL

You look so much like

my late father.

Sure.

How did a KAIST graduate end up in here?

He's not a KAIST graduate.

Can't you tell?

He gambles.

You have no idea.

-Geol. -Geol.

-Geol. -It's a geol.

-What? -What's this?

What's going on?

Was he cheating?

This is the best ramyeon ever.

Gosh.

I heard the tell-tale Bak-sa used to be a prosecutor.

Is that true?

Me?

I was just an office worker.

Then how did you end up in prison?

SENTENCED TO 5 YEARS FOR EMBEZZLEMENT

Mr. Kim, he isn't your brother, is he?

No.

We met for the first time at the detention center.

Well...

He was going to be released on bail.

My mom abandoned me.

My lover told on me.

My mom abandoned me.

Gosh.

I have no desire to live.

KIM AND CHANG LAW FIRM

Will it be possible?

Yes, we should be able to get him out on bail.

On bail?

Do you think I have money to waste?

I don't want to spend my money on that trash.

Pardon?

He needs to come to his senses.

Make him pay for all his crimes.

That's why I hired expensive lawyers.

I see.

It's time to open the restaurant.

Why don't you stop by my restaurant?

But of course, you'll have to pay for the food.

-Take care. -Goodbye.

Gosh.

What? This is her restaurant?

MASTER YU'S SPICY BRAISED RIBS

She would save us a table, right?

He looks so normal.

How did he get into drugs?

A druggie is better than a petty criminal like you.

Did you call me a petty criminal?

Yes, that's right.

Of all the things you could steal, you stole bread.

Right. Thank you.

I heard that you almost got into big trouble at the woodshop.

Bak-sa told me.

It's been taken care of.

Try to hang in there.

I'll try to help you as much as I can.

Also, you can't carry wrenches around.

You can't take them with you, okay?

Je-hyeok is a bit strange.

But when he is with you,

he's very normal.

He even talks, you know.

Without you, his life will be over.

You've known each other for so long.

Plus, you're each other's first love.

He's not my first love.

My first love was a senior in college.

The baseball season is starting soon, so I won't get to see you often.

I know. It's okay.

I have a boyfriend. He's a senior in my major.

Isn't he too old for you?

He's not old. Compared to you, he's really young.

I'm going to the bathroom. Get me the same.

I ordered you coffee.

I want beer.

Your phone is ringing.

You don't even notice the phone ringing. You're helpless.

Hello?

Wow.

Gosh, will you look at this?

Good work.

It's nothing.

Let's eat.

If you don't hurry, they'll eat it all.

Dig in.

I'm all right.

Are you on the news? Let me see.

No, I'm not.

Thank you for the food.

Inmate 7102, Kim Je-hyeok. Come out.

Don't you go out on dates?

It's the weekend.

Are you worrying about me?

Did you transfer here for my sake?

No, it was an official order.

Gosh.

Doesn't your girlfriend ever visit?

How can a superstar not have a girlfriend?

I used to.

What?

I had a girlfriend,

but we broke up.

Is it someone I know?

A celebrity?

An actress? A newscaster?

An idol singer?

That must be it.

You little...

No.

Don't lie to me!

Who was it? Tell me. Who was it?

Who? Come on and tell me.

-Who... -Next time.

Oh, come on! I had to pull strings to come here.

I envy you.

What's that?

Can't you tell? It's a baseball.

Gosh, where did you get this?

That damn woodshop leader gave it to me.

The warden gave me permission to carry it around.

Don't worry.

Goodness.

How could you not catch that?

Did I throw it too hard?

This isn't funny.

I feel so bad for Je-hyeok.

His life is full of nasty twists just like mine.

Are you ill?

Is there something wrong with your hand?

It looks like a damaged nerve.

You can find out with an MRI scan.

It's impossible to detect it with our equipment.

I'll do everything I can to help your body recover.

I'm sorry.

We can't let you go to a hospital outside.

Send him to the woodshop starting tomorrow.

When you're in prison, there's nowhere to run.

Did you expect to stay in the medical ward forever?

You should cover us this time.

We're having a singing contest.

A singing contest?

In a cold glass

I felt it

That's enough, you punk.

You're done for, you bastard.

Goodness.

Is it your chick?

It's your chick, isn't it?

Your language is so vulgar.

Vulgar, my foot.

You're the worst criminal in this cell.

I heard Je-hyeok broke up with his girlfriend.

Is it really over?

I'll focus on my studies. I'm tired of dating jerks.

He's such a jerk.

That lunatic.

What are you thinking about?

Are you thinking about Ji-ho?

Hello, Joon-ho.

We broke up. He's my ex.

Did you ask her out?

Good night.

You jerk.
