" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

WITNESS

Commander Yu

hit Jun-young's chest and stomach

several times.

I think he was so enraged

and lost his reason.

Private Park was having a hard time breathing,

but he kept kicking his chest.

In the past,

he has bullied Private Park many times.

Private Park Jun-young, sir.

What? Are you resisting?

Are you?

Are you? You punks.

You scums.

A scum like you

belongs in a mental hospital, not in the military.

Go to a mental hospital, you piece of trash.

Do you hear me, you jerk?

Gather everyone up.

Let's play soccer.

Hey, get up.

Get up, you idiot.

He's not going to die.

People don't die so easily.

Why are you still here? Gather everyone up.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir

The weather is so nice today.

" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

It's time for my annual work.

Jun-dol, shouldn't you go to work?

It's 8 a.m.

Gosh, come on.

I know it's Sunday.

What an old joke.

I made some doenjang soup, so have breakfast, okay?

Don't order jjajangmyeon again.

Eat a proper meal, all right?

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

Are you seeing someone new?

You're so impressive.

Listen. Your best friend is suffering every day.

Meanwhile, you're busy dating?

You're unbelievable.

How can you call yourself Je-hyeok's best friend?

I feel so bad for him.

Even if you're off duty, today is Sunday.

On Sundays, the inmates don't have to work.

If I were you,

I'd spend my day off with my friend.

You're the worst.

I'm sorry, Joon-ho. I lost it again, didn't I?

Have a good day.

Eat breakfast.

You'd better stop.

You must want additional time.

I guess you're not satisfied with your current term.

I can't sleep because of these lights.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

Do you think you're here on vacation?

Spin-dry your laundry!

Who needs to spin-dry their laundry?

-Hey! -Gosh, I'm sorry.

Do you not take me seriously? Tell me, you jerks!

Officer Paeng, can you please watch your language?

Why do you keep calling us jerks?

What?

I've been too easy on you, haven't I?

Hey, Errand Boy.

Yes?

Spin-dry these clothes for me.

Okay, sure.

Is there anyone else?

No. Officer Paeng.

I'm going to the Buddhist assembly today.

Do whatever you want.

Min-cheol, you have a choir event.

Bak-sa, you jerk. You have a calligraphy class.

Newcomers training for Captain Yu. A sleep clinic for Je-hyeok.

And Dopey, you have yoga class, right?

Your weekend schedules are better than mine.

Aren't you leaving?

Should we keep the door open like this?

I'll get going.

Mr. Kim Je-hyeok.

I signed it too.

I didn't sign it myself,

but I asked my friends outside to sign it.

Mr. Kim, don't give up on baseball...

Spin-dry it for me.

Still?

Why are you so sensitive about quitting baseball?

I can't bear this anxiety anymore.

I'm walking on eggshells at the age of 50.

I should just kill myself.

Je-hyeok, you haven't forgotten

about the Buddhist assembly today, right?

No, I haven't. You said they're going to give us ramyeon.

No, they won't give you ramyeon just for showing up.

You have to win first place.

What are you scheming?

Why are you taking Je-hyeok?

Where are your honorifics?

I'm five years older than you.

Why do you need him to go with you?

He's not his normal self right now.

What's up with you? Are you his manager or something?

Don't you know?

The CCB Sports Competition starts today.

I want to team up with Je-hyeok and win a prize.

He's an athlete, so he must be good at sports.

The winner gets five boxes of ramyeon.

With his injured hand?

It's gotten much better.

It doesn't matter.

You don't need your arm for this.

Forty-six, forty-seven,

forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty,

fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three,

fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-six,

fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine,

sixty, sixty-one, sixty-two,

sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-five,

sixty-six, sixty-seven, sixty-eight,

sixty-nine, seventy, seventy-one,

seventy-two, seventy-three, seventy-four,

seventy-five, seventy-six,

seventy-seven...

Zero.

Back to zero.

1ST PLACE 5 BOXES OF RAMYEON

SHIN RAMYEON

Where did he find such an idiot?

SHIN RAMYEON

Yes, I love you too.

Yes.

No, this week,

there's a sports competition at the temple.

Visit me next week.

Yes.

It's called

Kwangjong Temple. We have a sisterhood relationship.

What? No.

It's not ssanghwatang. Kwangjong...

Listen carefully.

Kwangjong Temple.

SHIN RAMYEON

SHIN RAMYEON

Hello, Father.

I'd like to donate five boxes of ramyeon

at your event at Western Prison.

SHIN RAMYEON

Yes.

Yes.

Is Madame Han your fourth or fifth?

Sixth.

Je-hyeok was so close.

You must practice free love.

It's his wife.

What?

It's his wife, not his girlfriend.

He got married six times.

Mullae-dong.

Why don't you give up?

I can see that you're trying to smuggle in cigarettes.

Why not just buy them at the store?

They sell cigarettes at the store here?

There's a store?

You didn't know?

I bought everything in that box

from the store.

They have

cigarettes, liquor,

electric toothbrushes, and even soccer balls.

They have everything.

But they're expensive.

A pack of cigarettes is 10,000 won.

-What? -Goodness.

The world is full of crooks.

Listen, Min-cheol.

I guess you don't know,

but I'm the one who supplies

those cigarettes at the store.

I'm the cigarette supplier here.

Without me, no one can smoke here. You should thank me.

Je-hyeok may have a normal body,

but his head is completely empty.

What kind of contest are the Catholics holding?

What was it last year?

I wish it were baseball.

That's enough.

Je-hyeok quit baseball. He has nothing to do anyway.

Do you think he really quit?

It just shows that he had a rough time.

We should take our time

and encourage him so that he can start baseball again.

I don't think he meant it

when he told us that he quit.

I don't care if he meant it or not.

How is he going to play baseball with that hand?

It's foot volleyball!

Foot volleyball.

It was foot volleyball for the Catholics.

Je-hyeok's legs are completely normal.

I got lucky.

It's foot volleyball.

That's right.

It's gotten a lot better.

Shape your hand like this.

Like this.

Just like this.

You're doing better than I expected.

In your daily activities,

always use your left hand.

Okay.

Your hand isn't causing trouble in your daily life, right?

No.

If so,

can't you practice pitching again?

Not right away, but if you practice consistently,

you'll be able to throw like before.

It's okay.

I can't take this to my cell, can I?

No, you can't.

With the weight and the elastic band, you'd recover much faster.

However, they're prohibited items.

Why not the elastic band?

Oh, that?

I see.

FINDING THE CAUSE OF SHOULDER PAIN AND KNEE PAIN

Did you play baseball too? I was wondering how you were friends.

Don't you take weekends off?

I have to do an urgent operation.

I'm sorry for bothering you when you're busy.

No, it's all right.

I have time for a cup of coffee.

What brings you here?

He told me he gave up,

but I just couldn't give up on him.

About the condition

-of Je-hyeok's shoulder-- -Tell me the truth.

You should've come together.

She left a moment ago.

Pardon?

I understand why he quit baseball.

His condition is very bad.

Anyone would have made the same decision.

Doctor.

Please give me more details.

Well...

In regards to daily activities,

he'll be able to recover

with just a few months of training and treatment in prison.

If he wasn't an athlete,

I'd tell him to wait until it gradually recovers.

But he's a pitcher.

A left-handed one at that.

To get his minimum speed back...

I'm not sure.

The possibility

is very low.

Nearly impossible.

While he is in prison,

he can focus on strength training and recovering his left arm and shoulder.

When he's released in winter,

he can start rehab and baseball training, right?

Right?

I have to attend a study group.

Where are you going? It's Sunday.

Come with me.

I have study groups on Sundays too.

Besides, I called her this morning.

Joon-ho.

I'll be off now.

Oh, right.

What are you looking for? I'll find it for you.

He's looking for cold medicine.

When you take them all at once,

it makes you feel high as if you were on drugs.

Dopey.

You can't buy that at the store, so give up already.

Will Dopey become sane once he takes medicine?

Who knows?

He might be sane right now.

Je-hyeok didn't sleep a wink last night, did he?

No, but I heard the sleep clinic prescribed him something.

What did they say?

What does he have to do to sleep well?

They told him not to take naps.

Those scums are so careless.

Even I could say that.

Is that all?

They gave him two sleep aid pills, and he took one yesterday.

You said he couldn't sleep.

Sleep aids won't help him.

He can't be in his right mind. He quit his lifelong baseball career.

What is it? Did Devil Captain Yu get in trouble?

What's wrong with Mr. Kim?

Is he trying to hang himself?

Hey. Don't do it.

Don't do it!

I said, don't do it.

It's a circus in here.

I want to join this cell.

Stop talking nonsense.

Just open the door.

Okay.

It should be fine, right?

Officer Song can be very clumsy.

I'm sure he won't kill him.

Besides, Officer Song is very clever. He wouldn't have gone alone.

Shall we start again?

Please uncuff me.

That's the rule.

Rules apply to everyone.

Damn it.

You're lying.

No one gets training in prison while handcuffed.

It depends on the circumstances.

Captain Yu.

You once threatened and assaulted your moral class teacher.

You're paying for that. You should've behaved.

Shall I continue?

Captain Yu.

Do you still not admit to what you've done?

Someone died because of what you did.

Admit to your wrongdoings

and ask for forgiveness.

Only then, you can start anew.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Be quiet.

I didn't kill him.

I only hit him a few times.

That's all.

It wasn't me who killed him.

I believe you.

No, you don't.

You don't believe me, do you?

Why won't anyone believe me?

Why?

Don't act like you understand me when you don't even believe me.

Darn it. Just leave me alone.

If you leave me alone,

I'll live quietly.

So please.

Please leave me alone.

Just leave me alone!

Access granted.

Damn it.

I'd like 58 roses, please.

Ones that have just started to bloom.

Could you put them in a matching vase?

Joon-ho, are you at a flower shop?

Yes.

Did Je-hyeok ask you to do this?

No way. He'd never ask such a thing.

He only asked me to buy red bean buns.

The flowers were 100 percent my idea.

My mom doesn't like flowers.

See? Your mother likes them.

You don't even know what your mom likes.

No one's ever given me flowers before.

She's just like her brother.

Ma'am, these are red bean buns.

Je-hyeok asked me to buy them saying they're your favorite.

Thanks.

My gosh, why did you prepare so much food?

It's your birthday. You shouldn't have cooked.

Je-hee, what did you do?

You just set the table, didn't you?

I was the one

who cooked all this.

Don't lie.

I'm telling the truth.

I made everything this morning.

Really?

What? Are you a chef?

Yes, I'm a chef.

We're getting seaweed soup often these days.

Out of all these people, there must be at least one person

whose birthday is today.

I don't know who you are or which ward you're in,

but I wish you a happy birthday.

Min-cheol.

Can we listen to the radio?

It's the weekend. Shouldn't we enjoy some culture?

Do you have a radio?

I have a small one.

There are all sorts of things in that box.

There's a radio,

but we haven't had batteries for a long time.

Don't they sell batteries here?

They only have AA.

But we need AAA batteries.

Tell the store guy to get some AAA batteries.

He can definitely manage that.

I asked him already.

He told me it'll take a few days, so I'm waiting.

Why don't you just sell the radio to me?

I'm expecting

to get a few items soon.

I'll give you

five cigarettes.

No thanks.

You know that the radio is my favorite item.

Also, you'll get additional time if you get caught smuggling cigarettes.

Don't you know that?

I do.

Keep the dirty work to yourself. Don't get anyone involved.

All right. Stop nagging me.

I'm so sick of it.

Don't worry.

I won't get anyone involved.

Je-hyeok, do you want more of my soup?

I haven't had seaweed soup with shrimp in a long time.

We cooked it Mokpo-style.

Did you make this?

No, she made it.

Je-hee, I'm impressed.

But I have a small request.

Can I add some salt to it?

It's the saltiest dish that I've made recently.

Oh, really? Gosh.

She works at an organic Korean restaurant, so her food is always bland.

Isn't it bland for you?

Of course, it's bland.

Do you want some?

No, I'm almost done anyway.

Take your time. I'll make coffee.

No, you're a guest. Sit back down.

Come on. I'm not a guest.

You have beans and coffee capsules.

Mrs. Park, would you like sweet coffee?

What would you like, Je-hee? You drink coffee, right?

I'd like a warm latte.

Gosh, I'm glad to hear it.

I want sweet coffee.

One sweet coffee and a warm latte.

Let's see.

Where's the milk?

I'm going to open your fridge.

Joon-ho is so affable. I wonder why he isn't married yet.

Are you seeing anyone?

Of course.

What does she do?

How old is she?

She works at a cram school, and she's 25.

Twenty-five.

But we broke up recently.

Gosh, she just lost a good catch.

She won't be able to find a man better than you.

Je-hee, can you bring me my phone?

Okay.

Right?

I'm a real catch.

I'm a really nice boyfriend.

Je-hyeok is the bad boy.

I'm a really good guy.

I'm a gentleman.

-Je-hyeok is a bad boy? -Nice.

Where's the bathroom?

Leave the milk. I'll make your latte.

Okay.

Where's the light switch?

We need to change the light,

but you can still see things.

No way. I can't see a thing.

Oh, gosh.

I'm afraid of the dark.

How am I supposed to...

I can't see a thing.

I can't see.

2004 NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COMPETITION

RIGHT AFTER GWANGJU JEIL HIGH SCHOOL WON

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you.

GWANGJU JEIL HIGH SCHOOL

Je-hee?

I don't know why,

but she wanted to come to Seoul to see your game.

Her school is on break, so I brought her with me.

Je-hee, don't just stand there.

Come here and take a photo with your brother.

Smile.

Je-hee, are these really for me?

Here we go.

Je-hee, could you please smile? It's my wish.

Joon-ho.

-Joon-ho's girlfriend. -Hey, stop it.

Anyway, look into the camera.

Here we go. Three, two, one.

Hi, Mrs. Park.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

Oh, no.

My bag.

There was a mosquito,

but I missed it.

You jerk.

There are no mosquitoes.

Gosh, that hurt.

Your hand got much better.

Yes.

Isn't that for me?

Yes.

Je-hee made it.

How did you know?

It's bland.

Right.

What?

Thank you...

for going there today.

Joon-ho.

Yes?

Bring me some salt.

I heard that you entered the jegi competition today.

I'm surprised.

I didn't know you were so active.

I need to kill some time anyway.

Don't tell me you're also going to the Catholic event.

There's a Catholic event?

Which sport?

WESTERN PRISON FOOT VOLLEYBALL COMPETITION

Your team is looking good.

Haven't the goods arrived yet?

Just wait. They will be here soon.

Why are you in a hurry?

-Just sell other stuff. -Gosh.

We're low on everything. We need to sell cigarettes at least.

Anyway, I'll pay you more than last year.

You have a conscience.

Just wait one more day.

You might get them as early as today.

Really?

WESTERN PRISON FOOT VOLLEYBALL COMPETITION

Kim Je-hyeok!

Kim Je-hyeok!

TEACHER QUALIFICATION EXAM

-Where are you off to? -To watch the competition.

I heard Kim Je-hyeok is playing.

Get going. I bet it started already.

-Okay. -Don't go.

-I want to go. -The game is over.

What?

His team finished playing.

Kim Je-hyeok's team got eliminated in the first round.

Kim Je-hyeok!

Home run!

Why you little...

You jerk...

Je-hyeok.

Isn't foot volleyball a man's sport?

No, it's baseball.

I'm sorry.

You should've told me.

You must've played it during your military service.

I was exempt.

Kim Je-hyeok, you jerk!

What kind of idiot is he?

He just catches everything!

That jerk catches everything with his hands!

Oh, my. What should I do with him?

This is foot volleyball, not baseball!

Gosh, this is so nerve-racking.

How can that devil-like scum only get a sentence of three years?

He deserves a death penalty.

Did Captain Yu cause trouble again? Isn't he in the isolation room?

Yes. Why do you think he's there?

It's to prevent him from throwing another fit,

which means it should've happened by now.

Besides, that would be less scary.

This is worse than a scene from a horror movie.

My goodness.

Just put him in a single cell.

He makes me feel so uneasy.

This isn't a hotel.

You can't get an upgrade for throwing a fit.

It's better that he gets in trouble.

That way, we can transfer him.

He's more likely to cause trouble when he's with other inmates.

So we'd better send him back to his cell.

I see.

Let's send...

Captain Yu back to his old cell.

Captain Yu.

You should eat something at least.

Yu Jung-woo.

Eat, all right?

Darn it.

I'd like some water.

I'm sorry.

I'm good at all types of sports

except foot volleyball.

When it comes to soccer, basketball, volleyball, and baseball,

I'm almost as good as a professional athlete.

But unluckily, it was foot volleyball.

Listen.

If you want ramyeon that badly,

I can buy you about a thousand boxes.

Ramyeon isn't the problem.

All right?

Winning is important.

Do you think I'm sulking over ramyeon?

Money can't buy sports.

I want to win. I'm still hungry.

I want to win first place.

I'm so sorry.

Tomorrow,

I'll do my best to win no matter what.

Please give me one last chance.

There's a church event tomorrow.

They would've decided the sport by now. What's taking him so long?

What should we do?

Are you sure?

Yes, the pastor booked the hall for a Golden Bell Challenge.

A Golden...

A Golden Bell Challenge?

Why? This is a sports competition.

Since the Catholics and Buddhists played sports,

the pastor wanted to do something different.

By the way,

who keeps donating five boxes of ramyeon?

What's the capital of the U.S.?

New York City?

Yankees.

Washington D.C.

Kim Je-hyeok, you bastard!

You ignorant scum!

It's Washington D.C.

That fool doesn't know anything other than baseball!

This is just my luck.

Why did I believe in that idiot?

New York and the Yankees?

Do you have

a cigarette?

No.

Get me

the smartest guy in this prison.

If you find him,

I'll give you a pack.

Okay.

I'm really running out of time.

How will I find someone in a day?

Right.

I heard someone studied pharmacy at Seoul National University.

Find out who that is. We don't have time.

Okay.

Have you been well?

-You're the best. -All right.

What's all that?

We got some medicine.

He's a friend of mine.

It looks like he's picked up some skills.

He has all kinds of medicine.

Do you want some Viagra?

For my special wholesaler.

No, thanks. I don't want to kill someone here.

Did your friend graduate from Seoul National University?

We were in the same juvenile center.

What's taking him so long?

Bak-sa.

If you win the Golden Bell challenge, what will you do with all that ramyeon?

I'll share it.

In that case,

can you give me a box if you win first place--

I'll donate it to the elderly inmates.

Sharing is all about sharing the little things in life.

Water for coffee.

Water for coffee!

-Aren't you going home? -I was on my way.

What brings you here at this hour, Officer Lee?

It's nothing serious.

It's probably a temporary symptom due to recent events.

We have many patients suffering from insomnia.

And if sleep aids don't help him fall asleep,

he can get some prescribed sleeping pills.

Don't worry.

He needs to be careful of what's in those sleeping pills.

What if it causes trouble during a drug test?

A drug test?

Who cares? He quit baseball.

Goodness.

Sir, the next time Je-hyeok comes--

He's coming tomorrow.

Instead of prescribing him sleeping pills or sleep aids,

Jujube seeds?

Or bananas?

Lettuce?

Warm milk.

Tell him to drink warm milk.

Hey, Ji-ho.

Not yet.

I can't think of any.

Why are you taking so long?

If he wasn't in prison, I'd have solved it by now.

-How? -You know,

bear the shame and put on a show.

What?

Tell him I'm terminally ill.

No, that's not it.

Tell him that his mother is very sick.

No, that's too much. Forget what I said.

My gosh.

Joon-ho, I know! Let's say someone is holding me hostage.

Then blackmail Je-hyeok.

"I'm holding your friend hostage."

"I'm a huge fan. If you don't play baseball again,

I'll kill your friend!"

I have a better idea!

How about using a dream?

What if my dad shows up in his dream?

"Je-hyeok."

"How could you give up on baseball?"

"I'm very disappointed in you as your coach."

My gosh.

Why are you laughing? I'm serious.

I'm being serious.

Je-hyeok isn't a fool who'd fall for that.

Joon-ho.

He is a fool.

Put on an act if you need to. Just do something.

What we tell him isn't important.

We just need an excuse, and it's all about timing.

Hey, kid...

I'm not a kid. I'm older than you think.

Did something happen? You seem to be in a good mood.

He's always smiling.

Meanwhile, this guy is always serious.

We have a new team leader coming.

-I heard-- -All right!

Everyone, stop and pay attention.

We have a new team leader today.

Say hello.

Hello, I hope we all get along.

You only have a morning shift today due to the church event.

Okay, get back to work.

Je-hyeok. Be careful. Go easy.

I have so many splinters in my hands.

Why are you smiling about that?

Then should I cry?

Try to pull hard and push lightly.

Think of going along the wood grain.

-Then it'll be easier. -I see.

-Thank you. -Sure.

Is your arm all right?

Take a break. Go easy on yourself.

Okay. Thank you.

Will things finally get better at the woodshop?

MAINTAIN A TIDY AND SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Jung-su.

Kim Jung-su?

Yes?

Bring me a cappuccino.

Pardon?

Bring me one cappuccino, please.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

THE GOLDEN BELL CHALLENGE

What do you think?

I'm cramming.

I'll definitely win this time.

Will the questions win?

-Or I win? -Or I win?

-The first at Western Prison. -The first at Western Prison.

-The Golden Bell Challenge! -The Golden Bell Challenge!

THE 1ST GOLDEN BELL CHALLENGE AT WESTERN PRISON

GO BAK-SA I MASTERED ALL QUESTIONS

We can do it.

Was he talking to us?

Yes.

He's wasting time.

Why?

It'd be nice to have a winner from our cell.

Western Prison, a leading correctional facility...

It's starting.

This is our first Golden Bell Challenge.

What do you think, everyone?

Will you be able to ring the Golden Bell?

-Yes. -Yes.

Well... Ma'am?

Will you be able to ring it?

-Yes! -Yes!

All right.

I hope that

the Golden Bell will ring today.

Here's your first question.

Here's the first question.

This refers

to the strongest method to oppress the opponent.

What's the word that describes a technique that guarantees

to knock someone down?

It's a technique that guarantees to knock down your opponent.

I could answer it with my eyes closed.

-It's so easy. -Even I know the answer.

The first question of the Golden Bell Challenge.

Please raise your whiteboards.

LETHAL MOVE

TOOLS

FIRST PUNCH

HITTING PRESSURE POINTS

SLEDGEHAMMER

HAND AXE

SASHIMI KNIFE

Right, it's a sashimi knife.

-Okay. It's time -Damn it.

to reveal the answer.

The answer is...

"Lethal move."

Lethal move!

That was very close.

"Sashimi knife" was very close.

That was close. Unfortunately, those who got eliminated,

please step out to the side. Thank you.

Many people got eliminated.

I thought

the answer was "baseball bat."

Next question.

This old fisherman

was called by King Wen

to help build his kingdom during the Zhou dynasty.

Today, his name is a byword for talented fishermen.

What's the name of this old man?

All right. Please raise your whiteboards.

FISHERMAN, JIANG ZIYA

The answer is

"Jiang Ziya."

It's Jiang Ziya.

The answer is Jiang Ziya.

We only have a few more questions left.

This is very sad.

In the Middle Ages, there was a trade association

that developed especially in Western European cities.

What's the name of the association

that contributed to the economical growth of European cities in the Middle Ages?

-We have many different answers. -That's right.

-All right. -The answer is...

"Guild."

Yes, the answer is "Guild."

All right. Wait a minute. Oh, my.

Did everyone get it wrong?

Everyone, give them a round of applause.

We only have

two contestants left.

-Yes. -The winner will be

the last man standing. Right, everyone?

-Yes. -Yes.

The last question won't be from us.

The warden

will come on stage and ask the last question himself.

Let's give him a hand.

All right.

Okay, great. Thank you.

Here's your question.

It was made on August 15, 1995.

During the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II,

Japan made an official apology

for colonizing other Asian countries.

The statement takes its name

from the Japanese Prime Minister who recited it himself.

What is it called?

All right.

Sir, isn't the question too difficult?

Please write down the name of this statement.

KONO STATEMENT

Only one of them can win.

That's right. Now, please raise

your whiteboards.

We have one answer.

The other contestant needs to raise his whiteboard as well.

Okay, his board is up.

Do you see that?

They wrote different answers.

-Yes, you're right. -Yes.

It's time to reveal the answer to the last question

of the first Golden Bell Challenge at Western Prison.

Let's hear it!

The answer is...

"Murayama Statement."

That's right!

Nice! We won! Yes!

Yes!

-It's the Murayama Statement. -Yes!

Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

The first Golden Bell Challenge at Western Prison.

The final winner is

-Inmate 1365. -It's Inmate 1365.

Please give him a round of applause.

Explain yourself.

The future is all about having information.

You need information to be competitive.

Power and money don't mean anything anymore.

In the near future,

people with information will rule the world--

Goodness.

Stop rambling and explain to us.

Explain what? Can't you see?

It's just that Dopey is usually high.

No, it's because the drugs are wearing off.

But once he takes drugs, he returns to his normal self.

I didn't believe it at first,

but he's really smart.

Tonight, I'll give Dopey...

I'll give Han-yang a big hug.

Hey, Han-yang!

Great job!

I love you!

SPONSOR: HAN A-REUM

INMATE INFORMATION NAME: YU HAN-YANG

SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN PHARMACY

This should be enough for everyone in the facility

even if they all come down with a cold.

The sleeping pills are on me.

Get me herbal medicine or Propecia.

Right.

Those are expensive, so you'll have to pay.

Forget it.

Are you going to sell that cold medicine to druggies?

No.

I plan to give it away for free.

It's time for physical activities.

COLD MEDICINE

I got them for you.

By the way,

there's something called The Golden Bell Challenge.

If you win first place,

you get ten boxes of ramyeon.

But you don't need them, do you?

If you win first place,

can you give me one box?

I only need one box. Take it with water.

If you do that for me,

I'll give you ten of these.

What do you say?

SHIN RAMYEON

How many cigarettes are there?

You startled me.

Don't you know how to knock?

Who knocks in prison?

Stop talking nonsense and get ready to distribute.

Give me some.

You know this is worth a lot here, right?

Be good to me.

I want to transfer to this cell.

The members of this cell are like the Avengers.

Wow.

Look at Mr. Kim body.

Your arm has gotten much better.

You can play baseball again...

Mr. KAIST.

How can I join this cell?

Should I risk it and ask Officer Paeng?

-No. -Darn it.

Why do you want to come here?

You share a cell with just one other inmate.

That's not why.

I like the people and the atmosphere here.

Officer Paeng, can't I move here?

No.

Why not?

Because the last member is back.

See you later.

Gosh.

Are we meeting for the first time?

I'm sure we've met.

Officer Paeng, can I see you for a minute?

I'm sorry, but my shift is over.

I'm sorry.

Go back to what you were doing.

Don't mind me.

Access granted.

Goodness.

Gosh.

Officer Lee, you visit here so often.

KOREA CORRECTIONAL SERVICE

Goodness.

Your shift ended a long time ago. Why are you still here?

I'm going to go now.

What about you? What brings you here?

Aren't you on night duty?

I was on my way there.

Je-hyeok is doing fine. Don't worry.

I heard Captain Yu got sent back to his cell.

Gosh, I know.

Director Na, that pervert.

It's all right.

Min-cheol and KAIST are in that cell.

I also told Officer Song to keep an eye on them.

If you're that worried, why don't you sleep there?

Who is Kim Je-hyeok's

closest cellmate?

A guy named Go Bak-sa who's obsessed with lawsuits.

Why?

Are they very close?

Closer than how you are with other officers here.

I understand what you mean.

To be honest,

Je-hyeok's been acting strange lately.

Well, do you have any ideas?

If we tell him to do it, he'll refuse.

Plus, it'll be hard to think of a solution if we keep it from the other cellmates.

I can't come up with an idea.

Officer Lee, have you thought of anything?

How about this?

We'll make it seem like a dream.

In that dream,

Je-hyeok's old coach, whom he greatly respects, will appear

and tell him that it's his wish

to see him play baseball again.

Too cheesy, right?

I was kidding.

That sounds great.

Not bad.

Je-hyeok is a bit slow, so it could work.

-Right. -If a standard tactic doesn't work,

you can approach it with shamanism.

Deceiving the innocent can be better than a hundred tactics.

But what exactly is your relationship with Je-hyeok?

Why are you so enthusiastic?

You told us Je-hyeok wants to play baseball again,

but he feels too embarrassed to admit it.

It's hard to know that unless you're really close.

What's your relationship?

I am...

Je-hyeok's stalker.

Well, I'm not exactly his stalker.

I'm just a huge fan.

I've been his fan for a long time.

-I knew it. -That's what I thought.

I think I heard that.

I've known him

since elementary school.

-Gosh. -It's been that long?

You recognized his talent.

All throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school.

I liked him even when he wasn't as good as he is now.

That's impressive.

He may be a bit slow,

but I knew that he'd be successful.

I knew that because I was his friend.

I guess you could call it faith.

Doesn't that make him a stalker?

Officer Lee.

Officer Choi wants you to hurry up and switch.

-All right. Let's talk again. -Okay.

Please go back to your cell.

Okay.

Let's just do it tonight.

Okay.

Plus, we have sleeping pills.

We need to put him to sleep.

He needs to sleep in order to dream.

-Right. -Right.

Too bad I can't sell them. They were for free.

Is he sleeping?

He is.

What is it?

It's to change my voice.

I'll play his late coach.

Did he take the pills?

When I showed them the sleeping pills, Captain Yu took them right away.

As for Je-hyeok...

It looks like he took them too.

-What's that for? -That punk.

Dry ice.

It's for the special dream effect.

I told him to steal some from the kitchen.

I'll wake Je-hyeok.

When he gets up, come out and talk to him.

All right? Wait in the bathroom.

Did you memorize the lines? Speak in a deep voice.

Are you sure it'll work? He's not an idiot.

It's too late to back out.

This was your idea.

Besides, when you wake up after taking sleeping pills,

it's hard to separate reality from dreams.

Hurry up.

Go on. We don't have all night.

-I don't think it'll work. -Gosh, you stepped on my hand!

I'm sorry.

Hey, that's...

-That's my foot. -I'm sorry.

-Be quiet. You'll wake him up. -Goodness.

We need to wake him up anyway.

-Gosh. -What?

-Where's my cone? -What?

-My cone is missing. -Gosh.

Gosh, you idiot.

You're a bunch of idiots.

Shut it and look for the cone, you jerk.

Where is it? Look for it.

Where's my cone?

Where is it?

I can't see anything.

-It's because you kept talking to me. -What?

WESTERN PRISON

LEE JOON-HO

That was refreshing.

What?

Good work, Officer Lee.

Are you getting off?

Yes.

Without seeing Je-hyeok?

He decided to play baseball again.

Go see him.

He'll be practicing baseball starting today.

Goodness.

He made a huge speech about how he was going to retire.

What else could he do?

His late coach appeared in his dream

and told him that if he quits baseball, it'd be like killing him twice.

Who said that?

The warden told me.

All of a sudden, Je-hyeok requested to meet with the warden this morning.

Apparently, he pleaded the warden

to help him play baseball again and told him about his dream.

The warden must be ecstatic.

Of course, he is.

I thought his hard work was going to be for nothing,

but I guess that greenhouse is going to see light after all.

Goodness.

That's right. Get going.

Gosh, he startled me.

While he is in prison,

he can focus on strength training and recovering his left arm and shoulder.

When he's released in winter,

he can start rehab and baseball training, right?

Right?

Yes.

That's our plan for rehab.

I guess you're his girlfriend after all.

How did you know? Only I was supposed to know.

I just figured.

But I feel reassured to hear it from you in person.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

I also found out by chance.

After Mr. Kim announced his retirement,

he stopped by a few times for treatment.

On his last day of treatment, I told the staff

and got approval from the warden.

I told them that I'd like to perform a shoulder operation on Mr. Kim.

Of course, they all agreed to it.

But Je-hyeok refused, right?

Yes.

Although I smiled,

it broke my heart to hear that.

If he's going to quit baseball,

there's no reason not to undergo surgery.

But I don't think he really wants to quit.

The doctor probably misunderstood.

Je-hyeok really wants to stop playing baseball.

You should know that. You're his girlfriend.

You're his friend. You should be able to tell.

I don't think

he ever thought about quitting baseball.

After breaking his shoulder in a car accident

and battling stomach cancer for over two years,

he was finally admitted to a team and came this far.

He's very earnest.

Je-hyeok will never

give up on baseball.

Joon-ho, please help him.

He's probably too embarrassed to say he wants to play again.

I bet he wants to start rehab right now, but he's just embarrassed to say it

because he threw a huge tantrum.

Could you please find a way?

It doesn't matter how.

It doesn't matter even if it's something silly.

Je-hyeok will definitely get on board.

I have to attend a study group.

Where are you going? It's Sunday.

Come with me.

I have study groups on Sundays too.

Besides, I called her this morning.

Joon-ho.

I'll be off now.

Mom, I'm home.

I really need to pee.

I had a hard time holding it in.

Mom, did you fix the light?

Joon-ho came and fixed it.

Lee Joon-ho.

He really is my ideal type.

Wow.

You have high standards, Je-hee.

Well, that's a coincidence.

You're my ideal type, too.

I was only kidding.

Hey, no way.

I don't believe it.

What's wrong with her?

She's so cute.

Can you give this to Je-hyeok?

He wore it all the time last year.

He'll be happy to see it.

I thought

you liked that he quit baseball.

Of course.

I was happy to hear that he quit baseball.

However,

I'm sure that he feels terrible.

No one will truly think that he's going to quit.

Give this to him for me.

MAY YOUR LAST BE ON THE MOUND

Joon-ho.

If I play baseball again,

would I be able to throw better than Yang Hyun-jong?

What if, after I return,

my pitching is worse than Hyun-jong's,

and I get the lowest pay?

What if I can't pitch at the same speed?

What if they call me out,

and the first and second years end up batting a home run?

Everyone will expect a lot from me

if I say I'm going to play again.

What if my pitching isn't good enough for League One,

and I'm ranked down to the minor league?

What if I don't play as well as I did before?

If you're bad, join the minor league.

If you're still bad, retire.

Je-hyeok.

People aren't always thinking about you.

They're busy with their own lives.

Their interest and expectations of you will last about two weeks at most.

And Je-hyeok.

The expectations they have for you

aren't as high as you think.

So don't worry and stop being anxious.

Just aim for a fastball of 120 km per hour.

Just one more time.

Get on the mound one more time before you quit.

That's my goal.

Your dreams should be more realistic.

How dare you compare yourself to Yang Hyun-jong.

Don't you have a conscience?

Well...

I heard that

you decided to play baseball again.

Yes.

My late coach showed up in my dream

and told me that it was his wish.

Oh, I see.

Use this when you work out in the cell.

We got permission from Officer Paeng. Just don't get caught by Director Na.

-Thank you. -Don't mention it.

Gosh.

I should thank you.

Thanks to you, I'll be given a chance to receive a parole review.

That watch.

Jean Valjean.

Coffee.

Right.

It's raining.

I know.

Since it's raining and all...

Min-cheol.

Why don't we listen to the radio?

I got some batteries from the errand boy.

My radio is gone.

Goodness, did you lose it?

Who did you sell it to?

I exchanged it for some candy.

Goodness.

The weather is perfect for some music.

Han-yang, can you sing a song?

Forget it. Han-yang, don't bother.

Sometimes, it takes too long to go home

It tires me out more than usual

I fall asleep

As soon as I get home

When I wake up, no one's home

When I lie down in a narrow bathtub

A small snail

Approaches me

It whispers to me

In a small voice

That one day

In the distant future

Although

No one saw it

Following the sound of the waves

In my memory

I will go

Forever

I asked to see Inmate 7102. Will he see me?

I guess so.

Most inmates agree to meet visitors.

One moment.

Let's see.

Yes, he's agreed to see you.

Once your number is up, please get ready.

Please wait.

Okay, thank you.

PAPER

You can't throw it out like this.

You should rinse it and flatten it.

Sorry.

Only the three young ones have visitors.

Captain Yu went for newcomers training.

I bet they're meeting their girlfriends. I know Je-hyeok is.

Han-yang was so determined not to meet his girlfriend

because she had ratted him out.

But I guess he went to see her.

I'm not even surprised.

After some time, you miss your girlfriend the most.

I bet he still missed her no matter how much he resented her.

What?

I gave them those pills.

I thought they took them.

That's what they told me.

Are they both crazy or what?

Listen. The instructor will be here soon.

Wait here.

This is driving me crazy.

If you're worried, put him in a single cell.

Or transfer him to Eastern Prison.

-I need a legitimate reason for that. -Goodness.

What if he causes trouble?

What is he doing?

Emergency in the classroom.

We need CRPT.

Gosh, what are we going to do?

Get out of my way.

Get off! Let me go, you jerk!

-Officer Paeng. -Get off! Wait!

Let me go!

Officer Song, are you all right?

-Get him on my back. -Yes, sir.

Captain Yu, that bastard!

Damn it!

I want Captain Yu transferred.

Are we going to wait until he kills someone?

Send him back to his cell.

Pardon?

Officer Paeng.

Captain Yu saved Officer Song.

Camera nine is broken, so although we couldn't see it,

it still recorded everything.

I replayed the footage.

He had a heart attack.

If Yu didn't act fast, Song would be dead by now.

Gosh, it was very close.

We can't transfer him now.

What on earth?

Come out, you punk.

I said, come out.

I'm sorry.

I misunderstood.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you tell us?

You should've told us the truth.

If I did, would you have believed me?

If I tell the truth,

will people believe me?

-Be on your toes. -Yes, sir.

Hey! Go in!

-Over here. -Pass!

Give it to me!

Okay, here!

I told you to pass.

That's it!

Commander.

Join us.

It took you long enough to ask.

-Hey! -Pass!

Hey, we need one more on the other team.

Private Park, come on.

Come on. Hurry.

Yes, sir.

One-to-one.

Run.

If you tackle the commander, you'll get locked up.

Understood, Private Park?

Yes, sir.

Kick!

-Keep going! -Sir!

-Nice! -Nice!

Receive and pass.

Your kick was terrible.

Where are you going?

That's not the way to my cell.

-Is it solitary confinement? -You have a visitor.

Your older brother.

VISITATION RULES

Kim Ji-ho is here.

Song Ji-won is here.

Dopey was so adamant about not meeting...

Hello.

Don't laugh.

Are you well?

Yes.

And you?

I'm not doing well either.

Have you been well?

I heard from Joon-ho that you started practicing again.

You made the right decision. And things will go well, so don't worry.

Ji-ho.

Don't visit me again.

I want this to be the last time we meet.

We broke up, didn't we?

We broke up.

So don't come back here.

I don't want to see you.
