" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

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.

LATE SUMMER OF 2015

Hey, why are you crying over that loser?

Don't waste your tears over him.

Min-sik, ask them for spoons.

Excuse me.

-Can we get two spoons? -Sure.

Are you a trash collector?

Why do you always date jerks...

I'm going to the convenience store.

Je-hyeok is going to stop by after his game.

Ji-ho will be here soon.

Okay.

Do you live by yourself?

Yes.

Then you must cook too. What can you make?

Excuse me?

Ji-ho will be over him in a month.

This isn't the first time.

Ji-ho is a smart girl,

but she always picks the wrong guy.

I don't get why.

I know why.

Kimchi stew.

Kimchi stew with pork.

I'm good at making that.

I noticed you won today's game.

-Did you watch it? -Of course.

I watched it on my phone.

I even left a comment saying that they work you too hard.

Have you ever...

developed feelings for each other?

Are you crazy? We're not like that.

Then look at each other in the eyes for ten seconds.

It'd be awkward even with Min-sik.

Oh, come on. Do it.

Why would we do that?

-I guess there's something going on. -No way.

Then why can't you do it?

Do we really have to do this?

For ten seconds. Starting now.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Let's stop. It's weird.

Why did you make us do it?

Are you serious? Ji-ho.

You're blushing.

You like Je-hyeok, don't you?

I knew it, you brat.

I don't like him. What's wrong with you today?

You're so weird.

Look at her blushing. Cheers.

Let's go already!

What are you thinking about? I called you many times. Let's go.

AN HONEST AND COMMUNICATIVE CORRECTIONAL PROGRAM

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

You could've at least waved to him.

You and that officer are close friends, aren't you?

Right?

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

I'm jealous that you have a close friend by your side.

I was worried how you'd pull through in prison,

but I was worried for nothing.

Be nice to your friend.

But of course, you won't be able to do much for him while you're here.

Aren't you the same age as him?

Yes.

But I'd never be friends with him.

He's a piece of trash.

The visitor was your older brother, right?

He seemed quite old. Are you blood-related?

What? Don't give me that look.

Don't you glare at me.

Do you think I'd get intimidated if you glare?

I asked if it was your brother, but you won't even answer.

Speak with honorifics.

All right, sir.

INMATE INFORMATION NAME: YU JUNG-WOO

KOREA MILITARY ACADEMY GRADUATE

MENTALLY VERY SENSITIVE

My goodness.

What are you reading so seriously?

Yes.

A Korea Military Academy graduate.

He even studied in the U.S. as a second lieutenant.

Gosh. He's a true elite.

He looks too normal

to kill anyone.

How did he kill him?

It was all over the papers.

The victim died of shock.

Shock?

In other words,

he got beaten to death.

Apparently, Captain Yu habitually bullied the victim, Private Park.

That day, he kicked the victim

in the chest in the boiler room

and made him lose his consciousness.

The victim died quietly late at night,

and a corporal on night watch found the dead body.

Is that dying from shock?

Of course.

But why did he die at night?

It's because he died of shock.

He was beaten up every day.

Who knows which punch killed him?

If he really died of shock,

Private Park would've been extremely ill that evening.

I've seen someone die of shock at a different prison.

It has clear symptoms.

You get very lethargic, and your face turns pale.

Then you die all of a sudden.

I suppose the army investigated thoroughly.

Captain Yu was tried in military court, right?

Why you...

Something is fishy.

SEPTEMBER, 2016

Could you tell us Private Park's condition that day?

Throughout the evening,

Private Park's face was pale.

PRIVATE KANG KYUNG-MIN

He seemed lethargic.

When did he first display these symptoms?

I think it was in the afternoon.

PRIVATE JO CHANG-SEOB ON NIGHT DUTY FROM MIDNIGHT TO 1 A.M.

He was in a lot of pain.

Did you notice anything when he went to bed?

While I was on night duty, I heard a faint groan.

Then he was silent, so I thought he fell asleep.

When I went to wake up Corporal Choi to switch,

Private Park seemed strange,

so I tried to wake him up, but he was unconscious.

And then...

Sergeant Oh performed CPR on him.

MILITARY BARRACK

Private Park.

Hey, Park Jun-young.

Jun-young.

Hey, Jun-young!

Jun-young, wake up! Jun-young!

Commander! Sergeant Oh!

Private Park. Jun-young!

Wake up, you punk! Jun-young!

Park Jun-young! Hey!

Wake up. Open your eyes, Jun-young.

Park Jun-young!

Hey! Jun-young!

-We're an independent unit. -Wake up!

We only have 12 men.

Even if someone dies, no one would know.

People say that

captains have more power than major generals here.

Jun-young...

I should've taken better care of him.

On the day of the incident,

do you admit to having assaulted Private Park

in the boiler room?

I do.

We suspect that he died of shock from external injuries.

How much did you beat him?

I didn't beat him.

You just said that you did.

We have witnesses too.

Yes.

Well...

I did hit him.

But I only hit him once...

I only hit him once or twice.

It's true.

Do you expect me to believe you?

Do you really expect me to believe that, you bastard?

Is the military police a joke to you?

It's over for you, you punk.

It wasn't me.

It really wasn't me.

" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

Look how ugly he is.

We're not communists either.

We should also enforce a democratic program.

We feed them and let them sleep. That's good enough.

They couldn't live democratically, and that's why they're here.

Damn it. Northern Prison is always on the news.

Oh, we can do something too.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

We even created a place for you to train.

It's not because of that,

but the public should know that you started baseball again

so that they can support you.

Everyone will be very excited.

So please...

Can we do one press conference?

My pitching isn't good enough yet.

Right now, I'm no better than an amateur.

I'll train really hard and undergo rehabilitation.

Once my pitching gets better,

I'll come to you first

and ask for a press conference.

Please give me some time.

Of course,

I'll respect and follow your decision.

However,

I'm asking you to wait

because you're like a brother to me.

If you think of me the same way,

please do me a favor and wait.

Well...

I guess I have no choice

but to do what my brother asks.

I will keep it a secret for now.

Don't worry about it and focus on your practice.

I'll give you free access to the greenhouse on weekends too.

Thank you.

Je-hyeok, you're very cunning.

He can't hear us from there.

What?

It's time for your interview.

They're here.

All right.

Okay, then.

My little brother.

Let me know if you need anything.

Is anyone in your cell picking on you?

Oh, right. Is Captain Yu behaving?

Should I send him to another cell?

It's all right.

Are you sure?

Yes, everything's fine for now.

PERIMETER ANTINOMY

Is he back?

Already? No way.

It's been a few days.

It's hard to tell.

I know.

Inmate 1365.

Hey, druggie.

Do you not hear me?

Inmate 1365.

Sit up straight and eat.

Do you hear me now?

I said, sit up straight and eat.

Understood?

Hollywood.

I can't hear you.

Blue.

Your tone of voice is

really starting to intimidate me. Free. Glee. Tree.

-Hollywood. Robin Hood. -He's back!

-Dopey is back! -I'm Dopey. Dopey is me.

-He's back! -Dopey is back!

Blue. Glue.

Our Dopey is back. Snack.

That's our Dopey, and I'm happy.

Officer Song has been in the hospital for a while.

Heart attack patients usually get discharged pretty fast.

But I bet he's busy chatting with someone.

It's funny how humans can be so fickle.

After hearing that Captain Yu saved Officer Song,

-I'm not scared of him at all. -Right?

It's hard to tell what kind of person he is.

In order to be more positive,

you must let go of negative feelings such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

Instead, personal emotions and virtue...

Captain Yu is still a bad guy.

He beat someone to death.

He's a total bastard.

Dopey, you're eating a lot today.

Je-hyeok, are you practicing eating with your left hand?

Yes, I'm going to try using my left hand more often.

Thanks to the resistance band you gave me, my hand's gotten much better.

Thank you.

Is that so?

Let me know if you need

anything else.

Okay.

Dopey, I heard your treatment starts today.

Yes, I'm going to try my best to get better.

Ji-won told me to do so.

I guess your relationship is back on track.

His lover got him locked up, but I guess he can't help it.

It was my fault.

Plus, I can't live without Ji-won.

DECEMBER, 2016

Are you okay?

What?

Don't you have a cold?

No, I don't.

Then can you be quiet? Stop sniffling.

Does it hurt badly?

I'm right here, you fool.

You shouldn't be worrying about me.

Let's skip dinner. I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, sure.

Go home and sleep. I'll take you home.

No, I'll just get a taxi.

It's on my way anyway. Come on.

Hey.

You'd better go straight home.

Whatever.

I'M SELLING COLD DRINKS

WHERE SHALL WE MEET?

HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE?

IS IT ENOUGH TO LAST UNTIL TOMORROW?

DO YOU TAKE LARGE DOSES?

I'D SAY ABOUT HALF A PACKET

SAME HERE

SKY HOTEL

HOTEL

Which one of you called us?

PRECISION AND ACCURACY

WE WILL PROTECT YOU WITH WARMTH AND LEAD YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

REAL ESTATE LICENSE EXAM PREP

I'll do it starting today.

Will you?

When Yeom was here, we did about a hundred a day.

You can do 50 for now.

It'll earn us some pocket money.

No, I can do more.

Are you saying that you can or you will?

-I'll do it, sir. -Then go ahead.

Therefore, you won't be getting any breaks for a while.

I hope you understand.

I will make sure

that you're paid for overtime, so don't worry.

Let's get back to work.

Get back to work!

They're going to pay us for overtime work.

Still, how can we make 100 drawers this week?

Even that viper-like Yeom only asked us to make 50.

Besides, it's obvious.

I bet they asked the furniture dealer to pay more.

Gosh, you're so naive.

I see.

We ended up with someone worse.

This place is crowded with thieves.

We're working more without getting a break?

This is ridiculous.

According to Article Ten of Penal Labor Guidance,

the labor timetable should be adjusted

according to the inmates' daily schedule.

Break hours must be strictly observed too.

I'll write a petition.

PETITION

I'M WRITING TO ASK FOR FAIR WORK HOURS...

PETITION BOX

PETITION BOX

Han-yang, wake up and eat.

Come on. You have to eat.

Okay.

Bak-sa.

When I was in the army, there was a veteran who was an idiot.

He beat me up so much

that I wrote a complaint

to send him off to prison.

The next day, I got beaten up even more.

It turned out that

the veteran emptied the petition box.

Don't talk with food in your mouth.

You really have no manners.

Have some manners and act civilized...

What did you say?

Room inspection.

I guess you didn't experience it at the detention center.

In prison, they run it once every two to three weeks.

It's done without notice.

Still, you army boys...

Soldiers stick to the rules,

so I'm not worried about you.

The problem is

that bastard.

But I must say,

Han-yang made me laugh for the first time during roll call.

You're so nice to him.

Back then, I saw Bak-sa's eyes bleed.

Roll call for Cell Six.

-One. -Two.

-Three. -Four.

-Five. -Six.

Six.

End of...

End of roll call.

Get it right this time. Pass it on.

If you don't do it properly, I won't sit still. Pass it on.

If you act like an idiot again, I'll kill you. Pass it on.

If you mess it up again, I'll break your leg. Pass it on.

Hey, Dopey. What's gotten into you?

Roll call for Cell Six.

-One. -Two.

-Three. -Four.

Five.

It's your turn to say "seven."

Eight, and over to you. End of roll call.

Even if we win first place, all we get is a fruit basket.

I'll buy you 100 of those.

This time, it's not a fruit basket. I heard it's something amazing.

What is it?

The errand boy told me

that it's the warden's special order.

The cell that wins first place

gets to meet their visitors elsewhere.

What does that mean?

You're pretty dumb for someone who went to a top university.

If you're so smart, then why did you get convicted ten times?

Gosh, what should I do with him?

Is it true?

Are they really going to let us meet our visitors somewhere else?

But seriously, what does that mean?

In other words,

instead of meeting your visitor with a glass window in between,

it'll be like seeing your lawyer.

You'll get to meet your visitor in a more comfortable setting.

If you're with a kind officer,

you might get to hold your visitor's hand.

And maybe even kiss.

Stop talking nonsense.

We should win first place this time.

For cleanliness, we'll definitely win since Bak-sa is always busy cleaning.

The problem is Dopey.

I can do this.

Really?

Yes, really.

When is the special inspection?

If we know the date,

we can prepare Dopey so he doesn't make mistakes.

How would we know? It's done without notice.

Should I ask Officer Paeng?

What did you say, you punk?

Don't get angry. I was joking.

It was a joke. Just a joke.

BUTTERFLY, OBESITY, HURRAY, THREE IDIOTS

Let's ask Officer Lee Joon-ho over at Ward One.

He's your fan, so he might tell you.

Should I ask him?

Officer Lee is away today.

And even if he was here, he wouldn't tell you.

Stop scheming and check your account balance.

Officer Song, are you all right?

You look good.

Yes, I'm fine.

Check your balances. Have a good weekend.

Wait.

It's too dusty here.

Dusty? I wiped the floor a moment ago.

No, it's "too" dusty.

I see "too" much dust.

But...

He's saying it's in "two" days. It's on Monday.

WE WILL PROTECT YOU WITH WARMTH AND LEAD YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Gosh.

Goodness.

Why are we working on a Saturday?

Don't you have to practice during the weekend?

I can do it later in the evening.

Joon-ho is going to stand watch so I can practice until late.

Well, you see,

I sometimes call my fans by their names.

What?

Min-sung has never worked with steel before.

He can't make him do that.

Try it.

But I've never used it before.

I can do it with a saw.

That will take forever.

Blood!

Come out. Let's go to the infirmary.

Well...

We're missing one person,

so divide the work among you guys and get it done.

Pardon?

Didn't you hear me? I spoke pretty loudly.

Sir, we can't do that.

We're not going to work overtime today.

Really?

Fine. Don't. I'll ask others to work more.

He's got to be kidding me.

What do we do?

Nexen can't find out how terrible he is.

I heard Je-hyeok can join any baseball team he wants.

Shouldn't he return to Nexen Heroes?

He had to withdraw from the team due to regulations

as soon as his sentence was finalized.

According to the articles that I read the other day,

Nexen Heroes let go of his obligations.

Now, he can join any team he wants.

It's good for him.

No team would want him if he keeps throwing like that.

Even I'd throw better than him.

Lean more backwards.

Shift the release point more to the front.

Keep the ball and throw it at the very end.

Try it.

My gosh.

How is he a fan?

They're obviously friends.

A long-time fan is the same as a friend.

Thanks to Officer Lee,

we get to come out at night like this.

It's nice.

Bak-sa, stop being so upset.

Let me tell you something useful.

Those petitions are useless.

Instead of petitions,

write reports.

Instead of suing them, make suggestions.

Hang it by the corridor

when the time is right.

That day will come. It's not too far away.

All right?

My gosh!

-Gosh. -Goodness.

Ward Two, Upper Floor. Ready for roll call.

Salute.

Excuse me.

Who are they?

Don't mind them. They're here for my interview.

Shall we start?

Cell Seven, roll call.

-One. -Two.

-Three. -Four.

-Five. -Six. End of roll call.

It's Kim Je-hyeok.

-I see. -Cell Six, roll call.

-One. -Two.

-Three. -Four.

-Five. -Six. End of roll call.

What an exemplary cell.

This is a surprise.

Let's go.

Warden Kim.

What's this?

That's...

It's the usual stuff.

It's just a note. It's nothing.

Shall we move onto the next cell?

But I'm curious.

Warden Kim.

May I ask a question to Mr. Kim Je-hyeok?

Yes, of course.

Is that okay with you, Brother?

Je-hyeok and I are close like brothers.

I heard that you've adjusted well to your life in prison.

What do you find the most difficult?

It's the same as the outside world.

I'm all right.

It can't all be easy.

How do you deal with hardships?

I'm not sure.

Of course,

I do run into some problems.

But when I do,

I use those reports.

That report enables us to communicate with the warden.

When we're sick, we use it to ask for a doctor's appointment.

When we want to meet someone, we use it to ask for a meeting.

And whenever we have any minor suggestions,

we let him know by writing those reports.

And when we do,

Warden Kim Yong-cheol always makes sure

to resolve the problem for us in a democratic way.

I suggest giving inmates

the right to freely vote

for their woodshop leader

instead of appointing the leaders.

Let's do it.

Section Chief Shim.

Enforce it right away.

-Really? -We get to vote for the leader?

That jerk will be gone.

I've been convicted 20 times, but this is a first.

Do you all understand?

-Yes. -Yes.

Now that I think about it,

you need candidates

in order to vote for your leader.

Raise your hand if you want to be the leader.

He has no conscience.

You're the current leader, so you're already a candidate.

Is there anyone else?

You can also recommend someone.

Inmate 9175.

You're Class Three.

You're not qualified. It's from Class S2 and up.

I'm sorry.

Is there anyone else? Goodness.

Yong-woo, go for it.

I can't be bothered. Someone else will do it.

We need to kick him out.

Go for it. I'll support you.

Is there no one?

Go for it.

There's only one candidate.

Is the vote even necessary?

I told you that you're not qualified.

I recommend Kim Je-hyeok.

I recommend Kim Je-hyeok as our leader.

Will you do it, Je-hyeok?

Yes, I will!

All you have to do is trust me.

But

I'm not good with woodwork.

Will people vote for me?

I don't know how to do anything.

That's why I support you.

Me too.

-You can do it. -Good luck.

That's the point.

That you won't do anything.

Let's eat.

I think those thugs will support you too.

There are ten of them,

-so it'll be a landslide vote. -Of course.

It's true that Je-hyeok is terrible with woodwork.

But what's great is that his mind is blank.

So he won't stomp on our rights

merely for his own benefit.

He would never do such a thing.

On top of that, he's rich,

so he has no reason to do anything shady behind our backs.

It looks like it's decided.

What about them?

Don't worry about those four druggies.

They're too lazy to vote for anyone.

Then wouldn't that be a unanimous vote?

I wonder if anyone will vote for Spots.

There are always traitors who side with the authority.

The only person who'd do that is Jung-su.

We outnumber them by far.

Don't let your guard down. We have six days before the election.

It's an all-out war.

WOODSHOP LEADER ELECTION D-4

AN HONEST AND COMMUNICATIVE CORRECTIONAL PROGRAM

HORSESHOE, PROFILE PICTURE

Do you want my help?

"The name of an independence activist who was also Korea's first female pilot."

I heard Je-hee is working late often these days.

I'm very worried.

I have a sister named Je-hee.

She's a chef.

I see.

Sometimes, she gets off work late.

She says she's okay even after what happened,

but both my mom and I worry about her.

Whenever she got off work late, I always went to pick her up.

At times like this, I should be there for her.

It's her boyfriend who should be there for her.

What?

It should be her boyfriend who picks her up.

Gosh, you're too tactless.

Right?

You can never be her boyfriend, you jerk.

You're here early, Officer Lee.

Yes.

Are you on night duty starting today?

We haven't had trouble recently, so you can study

while having some coffee in the office.

Are you all right?

Yes, of course. I'm fine.

Thank you. I love you.

Officer Song.

If you talk less,

it might be better for your heart. What do you think?

No, the fact that I'm talking proves that my heart is beating.

My mouth is my pulse.

By the way, are you going

to Dr. Jang's baby's birthday party this Sunday?

You're just going to send him money, aren't you?

If you don't attend these events, people will be disappointed.

What if no one comes to your wedding? How sad would that be?

Really?

Gosh.

I'm surprised he told the family.

I just wanted to let you know that he decided

to play baseball again, in case you didn't know.

I know Je-hyeok can be quiet, but he does tell us stuff.

Where are you?

What are you up to?

I'm at work.

I'm on night duty, so I just came to work.

-What about you? -I'm working too.

Are you still at the restaurant?

We have reservations today,

so we'll finish at around 2 a.m.

Gosh. What about your mother?

She went to Mokpo.

Oh, no.

Don't worry.

I'm all right.

Mom comes just because she's worried.

It's only a short taxi ride home.

Hello?

-Yes. -What's wrong?

Are you going to pick me up?

How can I?

I have to work. I'm not rich like your brother.

So don't worry about me.

Just take good care of my brother.

All right. Go back to work.

-See you, Joon-ho. -Bye.

HOUSEMATE

Make it quick. I have to go to work.

I just called to set the date for your blind date, but never mind.

Goodness, my dear brother. I'm sorry for being careless.

I'm on night duty until next Friday.

I'm free after next weekend.

Is that so?

Now that I know the schedule of someone worthless like you,

I'll check with her and call you back.

Also, I'll be home tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning,

I'd like to eat kimchi stew with steamed eggs for breakfast.

My gosh.

JI-HO: I'M AT B COFFEE

What's wrong? Can't you fall asleep?

No. I just wanted to work out before going to sleep.

I bet you miss your girlfriend like crazy.

I felt the same way.

I missed mine a lot too.

Goodness.

Do you think I never had a girlfriend?

What do you take me for?

When I was young, people used to tell me

that I looked like Park Bo-geum.

When you were young,

Park Bo-gum wasn't even born yet.

Is that right?

Also, his name isn't Bo-geum.

It's Park Bo-gum.

Is that right?

Good for you for being smart.

I know it's hard.

But I bet

it's harder for the people outside.

Sometimes, it's wise to just let them go.

It all comes from selfishness.

Selfishness.

I'm rambling too much tonight.

Go to bed.

You'll be busy tomorrow for your campaign.

Bak-sa must be having a nightmare.

He's making a face.

It's rude to be here for too long.

I bet you ordered just one cup of coffee.

I didn't know that you were coming. Is something wrong?

No, I came to pick you up.

This place is open 24 hours. I'll be here a while.

It's almost 2 a.m. You're too fearless.

I came to pick you up, so let's just go home.

You live far away, and the subways stopped running.

I'll take the night bus with you.

We can listen to some music on the way.

We can talk too.

-Good work. -Good work.

-See you tomorrow. -See you.

Hello? This is 1030 Cheongdam-dong...

One moment, please.

I'm too worried about you. Stay at the restaurant after you're done.

Ms. Kim Je-hee.

Gosh.

Are you Ms. Kim Je-hee?

Is your older brother Kim Je-hyeok, the best closer in Korea?

I sent one of my slaves. Use him.

Let me introduce myself.

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

And my brother is best friends with Korea's hero, Kim Je-hyeok.

I'll take you safely back home.

Come with me.

You don't have to.

But I insist.

I must take you home safely

and send a photo to Joon-ho.

Only then can I live.

Come with me.

I'll take you home safely in the taxi I took here.

Okay.

Is that so?

Now that I know the schedule of someone worthless like you,

I'll check with her and call you back.

Also, I'll be home tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning,

I'd like to eat kimchi stew with steamed eggs for breakfast.

Are you listening?

Jun-dol, can I ask you a favor?

Tell me.

Isn't your office near Gangnam District Office?

-Isn't that close to Cheongdam-dong? -Yes.

Later at 2 a.m.,

can you go to a Korean restaurant in Cheongdam-dong?

Yes. You won't be working all night.

Can you just take her home?

I'm worried about her.

WOODSHOP LEADER ELECTION D-3

Have more of mine.

-It looks good. -Thanks.

Enjoy your food, everyone.

No wonder I had a nightmare last night.

How could they do that?

Is it because of money?

Spots doesn't have any money.

Even if he did, he wouldn't spend it.

Right. Shouldn't thugs have

loyalty at least?

Could it be Officer Lee?

Maybe Officer Lee paid them.

No way.

Officer Lee would never get involved directly with the inmates.

He's very sly.

He makes other people do the dirty work.

I know!

Gosh, I get it now.

He got their leader on his side.

Do they have a leader of their own?

Of course.

They're thugs, not gangsters.

Do you know why their label is white instead of yellow?

Gangsters have yellow labels.

They're here as petty criminals.

They insist on being gangsters,

but all of them are here for things like drunk driving, theft, and fraud.

They have a strong sense of pride,

so they ask for a yellow label, insisting that they're gangsters,

but it's not up to them.

Like the elderly here,

they should've been bold enough to stab a few men.

There's a leader

of Daesung Jeil Gang, which is well known in Daegu.

Whatever he says, the thugs will follow.

I bet

Officer Lee approached him.

He must've approached him during workout hours.

Instead of mentioning the woodshop leader election,

Officer Lee probably caught a kite or one of the illegal dealings in prison

and promised to turn a blind eye if he supports Spots.

For the gang leader,

it's a great deal.

All he has to do is

tell the thugs to vote for Spots.

But do thugs really obey

whatever the gang leader says?

Besides, is he even their boss?

It may not be obvious, but everyone has a leader to follow.

Even those druggies have their own leader.

What should we do?

It'll be hard to get the thugs on our side again.

Right. They got orders from their boss.

Just give up. You can't win this election.

Gosh.

I don't want to give up.

We will never give up.

We'll just have to count on our last hope.

What's our last hope?

Those people.

It won't be easy,

but they're our last hope.

If the four of them get on our side,

we can win.

But they won't even vote.

Even if they do,

will they be sane enough?

Who knows?

At least,

Je-hyeok has money.

Shall I hand out 100 transit cards?

I don't want to make you the leader by bribing people.

Our policies and promises will help us win.

Pardon?

I believe that those druggies have

the will to reform and end corruption at the woodshop.

I will bet my everything on them.

Lunchtime is over.

Put away your trays and get back to work.

Come on.

-Gosh. -Goodness.

What's the current score?

Spots and Jung-su who makes cappuccinos.

He only had two votes,

but with the thugs' support,

we're behind three votes.

That's why those four druggies hold

the casting vote for the upcoming election.

HANGUK MILK

Hello.

If you want a transparent woodshop with afternoon breaks,

vote for Candidate Number One, Kim Je-hyeok.

How long will you stand

the unfair and inhumane treatment at the woodshop?

Candidate Number One will change that.

Please trust him.

How much will you give us?

Pardon?

If we vote for Kim Je-hyeok, what will you do for us?

When choosing a leader, you shouldn't cast a vote

in return for favors for you or your friends.

Your decision should be based on their pledges

and human character.

Is there anything you wish to ask

from me or Je-hyeok?

You're blocking the sun.

Can you move?

MULBERRY, DIOGENES

Wow.

Is that you, Han-yang?

No, Dopey.

Just go to the store and stock up on cold medicine.

You're loaded, you jerk.

I won't take any drugs anymore.

I'm going to resist.

Jerk.

Let's see. What should I beat you up with today?

Hey, cut it out.

You'd better not fight again.

You're pushing Officer Paeng's limits.

Captain Yu.

On Sunday, we're going to watch Je-hyeok practice.

Want to join us?

Why would I do that?

Just leave me alone.

Bak-sa, we only have two more days.

I know.

I know

where KAIST keeps

the rest of his cigarettes...

Or how about this? Min-cheol knows

most of the people here,

so we can ask him for help--

I found a solution.

What?

I figured out a way to make those druggies get on our side.

How?

We'll write them a letter.

Idiot.

I, D, I, O, T.

You don't really think that will work, do you?

Justice will prevail.

Gosh.

Let's see. Where did I put the stationary paper?

WOODSHOP LEADER ELECTION D-2

SPOTS: 12 VOTES

KIM JE-HYEOK: 9 VOTES

Recycling!

Take out the recyclable garbage!

Recycling!

You all know that you have a special visit this week.

Write down your visitors' names

and submit them to him.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

-The world treats them well. -Like this?

They should be thankful for being allowed to get visitors,

and now they get to meet them elsewhere.

The world is unnecessarily kind to them.

By the way, isn't today

the woodshop leader election?

I never thought I'd see criminals vote.

Bak-sa, what do you think?

Do you think you'll win?

Officer Paeng.

Mr. Go, do you think you'll win the election?

We will definitely win.

Director Na is here.

Kim Je-hyeok.

Good luck.

No way.

How is this possible?

Of course, it's possible.

KIM JE-HYEOK: 13 VOTES JO KI-CHUL: 12 VOTES

WOODSHOP LEADER

My handwritten letter worked.

I pretended to be confident,

but I was doubtful.

When I delivered my letter

to the druggies yesterday,

I could see their expressions change.

So I was hopeful.

Still,

I didn't think

that they would trust me.

See?

Justice has prevailed.

My conviction and methods

were right, Je-hyeok.

Congratulations.

Gosh, he's back here again.

Officer Paeng.

Aren't they getting a hot shower today? Go and check.

Why didn't Captain Yu Jung-woo get a third trial?

That's not for everybody.

The Supreme Court has to accept the case.

Besides, there was that article.

What article?

His brother said in an interview that they'll appeal.

I see.

That's why

everyone is bad-mouthing him.

Gosh, he looks normal

and very educated, but he's a fool.

But then again,

it's related to his little brother, so I guess he lost his reason.

When I think about it, I feel bad for both of them.

Oh, my.

I must be out of my mind.

I'm sympathizing with a murderer.

Goodness.

It must be time for me to quit working in prison.

After being with these criminals, I can't tell what's good or bad anymore.

My goodness.

Congratulations.

I heard you became the leader. Congratulations.

Je-hyeok, may I shake your hand? Congratulations.

PLEASE BE QUIET

Did you bribe them?

Justice

always prevails.

Stop talking nonsense.

Was it money?

Or...

fame?

It was thanks to fame.

"Fame."

WOODSHOP LEADER ELECTION D-1

Excuse me.

I believe that

I must become the leader to make things easier for everyone.

What would you like?

If you tell me, I'll do my best--

We support you.

Yes, we do.

The four of us will

-vote for you. -Yes.

-Don't worry. -Pardon me?

-Number One. -Number One.

Does that mean

I don't have to pay you?

If you pay us,

we won't refuse.

Are you kidding me?

No, we don't need money.

-Get up. -Excuse us.

Let's go now.

You can never trust druggies.

Right, Je-hyeok?

Hello, I'm Son of Justice.

Je-hyeok.

Je-hyeok, I really missed you.

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.

Where did you get all this medicine?

I heard that the druggies have a boss. I guess that's you.

I keep a stock for them separately, so stay out of it.

I got you cold medicine, sleeping pills, hair loss treatment, and diet pills.

Let me know if you need more. I'll keep them coming.

Where are you going? Stay for coffee.

No.

I need to attend a lecture called "Building Our Happy Selves".

I see.

When will I get to see Je-hyeok?

I've been to most correctional facilities.

It's my first time being in one with so many events.

I wanted to see you as soon as I arrived here,

but I had to receive newcomers training, reading therapy, art therapy,

individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling,

and even attended a recidivism prevention program.

After one day, I had a nosebleed, which rarely happens to me.

Is the warden dying for attention?

You've changed a lot. You even ran for an election.

The druggies were talking about you, so I told them to vote for you.

Well, I'm their supplier,

even though it's just cold medicine.

But that's enough to control those druggies.

Overdosing on medicine can give you a similar effect.

There's one in my cell, so I'm well aware.

His name is Dopey, and he used to be a pharmacist.

It was the same for him.

I knew you'd pull through. You can be quite social.

Je-hyeok.

I'll stay by your side from now on.

My goal is to make sure you finish your sentence safe and sound.

That's all.

You can count on me.

Thank you.

I feel reassured.

Je-hyeok.

Did you really quit baseball? Can't you play again?

After reading about your retirement,

I couldn't sleep because I was so frustrated.

It's not like you to give up like this. Can you please play again?

What's this?

Je-hyeok started playing baseball again, but it's still a secret.

So don't tell anyone.

And that's Je-hyeok's die-hard fan.

-What? -He's a stalker.

He's the officer in charge of watching Je-hyeok when he practices.

He's practically a coach.

It's not looking easy. He hasn't hit the center once.

Je-hyeok, that's enough for today. It might burden your shoulder.

Let's get back inside.

How can he throw so well all of a sudden?

Right? It's different from before.

It must be a miracle.

It's not a miracle.

He used his right hand.

What?

He threw it with his right hand.

I see.

I see!

Thank your late father.

He forced you to switch hands

to make you a left-handed pitcher.

He made you ambidextrous.

Will it work?

It's better than your left hand.

Your right shoulder is in better condition.

You have a better chance with it.

Why didn't I think of this?

I'm relieved

that we found a way.

I should tell Ji-ho the good news.

Oh, I guess she'll be coming tomorrow.

You can tell her in person.

Ji-ho and I broke up.

Yes, I know.

But you're both not over each other.

-Isn't it true? -We really broke up.

I told Ji-ho

to stop visiting me. I told her I didn't want to see her.

Why?

Why did you say that?

I have enough on my hands.

I have no time to think about her.

I don't want Ji-ho to worry about me

and wait for me.

I don't want her to suffer.

You're such an idiot.

You'll regret it forever. You damn punk.

You damn idiot.

LATE SUMMER OF 2015

At the Mokdong Stadium for Nexen versus KIA,

KIA's last offense has begun.

On the mound is Kim Je-hyeok from Nexen.

Nexen is leading by three points.

Everything looks great.

He's getting ready.

Wind-up. It's a swing and a miss.

With an outer slide,

he pitches perfectly at the right time.

Yes, thank you.

It's no fun because you always win. You should lose sometimes.

I'm sorry.

I got Hyun-jong's autograph.

He gave me his bat and glove.

They're for you.

Awesome. Give them to me now.

Okay. I'm at your place. I'll be right up.

-Hi. -Hey.

-It looks like it's going to rain. -Really?

That means no game tomorrow. Nice.

-Do you want some ramyeon? -Yes, I didn't eat anything.

Mokdong is nice because it's close.

I booked tickets to see your weekend game with Young-ja and Min-sik.

Min-sik is buying because it's his birthday.

Why did you buy the tickets?

You could've asked me.

No thanks. I'm not paying for them anyway.

It won't take long.

-Ji-ho. -What?

Can you put this away?

Gosh, what's this doing there?

Sorry for startling you.

Je-hyeok.

Do you also go to nightclubs?

Me? No.

Don't baseball players go clubbing and drinking after they win a game?

Whenever you win, you always call me.

Do I?

But if you lose, you never pick up the phone.

What's wrong with losing?

Getting a few blown saves is normal.

From now on, call me even if you lose.

I'm good at cheering people up. All right?

When I lose, I don't want to see anyone.

I prefer to be by myself.

My gosh. Good for you.

Fine. Go ahead and cry all alone.

Keep all your troubles to yourself.

It'll make your future girlfriend very happy.

-Will she not like that? -Of course not. Who would?

Do you not like it?

I'm asking if you don't like it.

Me?

Well, I...

I don't know.

I can see myself not liking it,

but I can understand,

so I might not get upset...

I don't know.

Why are you laughing?

Because you're cute.

What's wrong with you?

Bak-sa and Dopey, you can meet your visitors first.

Let's go.

I'm not Dopey. I'm Han-yang.

They're the same.

"Song Ji-won"?

Why does your lover come here so often?

Mind your own business.

You're too nosy.

Why that jerk...

Go.

What?

"Song Ji-won."

I thought he was meeting his girlfriend.

I didn't know there was a room like this here.

How's So-ra?

Are there any side effects after surgery?

No.

Honey.

Yes?

Your salary this month...

What's wrong? Didn't you receive it?

That's not it. You were paid triple.

Really?

That's good.

Didn't they say anything about it?

I guess they will soon.

This year, I was supposed to get promoted.

What's with the look when we got more money?

I bet

the company is just looking out for me.

Why are you so worried?

I don't like your company.

I hope it goes bankrupt.

I bet they're up to something.

Honey, I'm not going to use any of this money.

I don't care if I have to work at construction sites.

I'd rather spend what I earn myself.

You didn't do anything wrong to be here.

You're not that kind of person.

Are you bold enough

to embezzle someone else's money?

I feel so frustrated.

What's wrong, honey?

Do you know how much my company looks out for me?

Come on.

It's the company's decision.

I'm sure my superiors have a plan in mind.

So don't say such a thing.

Hey, Bak-sa.

Bak-sa.

Please be honest with me.

About what?

Goodness.

You don't really think that, do you?

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

Don't cry.

I would have met another guy, too.

She met another guy already?

She's unbelievable. Who is it?

She met him at a religious assembly.

That means he's Christian, Catholic, or a Buddhist.

Hey, Je-hyeok.

Can I borrow your bat?

I think I know who he is. I'll start by beating him with a bat.

What did you say?

Ignore him. He was talking nonsense.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Why aren't you meeting anyone today?

If not your girlfriend, you should've asked your mother to come.

I called her yesterday.

It will only hurt her to see me like this.

Why isn't Captain Yu back yet?

He should be done by now.

KOREA CORRECTIONAL SERVICE

Gosh, is it not over yet?

But we're closing soon.

He went in a moment ago. I had to stop by somewhere.

Then how could you be dozing off?

Goodbye. See you later, sir.

I want you to stop.

No.

I'm not giving up.

One of them will testify for you.

I trust them.

Then they would've come to my first...

Or my second trial.

They would've testified already.

Even if they come, they will say the same thing.

They'll just repeat

what Sergeant Oh said.

Stop asking the military for help and just do your own work.

You'll get fired at this rate.

You worked hard for your tenure.

Don't worry about my work.

Jung-woo,

take care of your health.

My kind brother.

I just can't believe

you're in prison.

I promise

I'll prove your innocence.

I'll do everything I can

to make sure...

people stop calling you by that damn nickname,

"Devil Captain Yu."

This afternoon,

the commander beat Jun-young.

He's been bullying Jun-young for so long.

This time, he lost it and beat the guy to a pulp.

As always,

he kicked him in the chest.

Poor Jun-young was in pain throughout the entire afternoon.

He couldn't eat dinner.

His face was pale, and he was very weak.

He was ill all night.

Oh, no.

We heard him groan, so we checked on him.

Oh, my.

He wasn't breathing.

That's how Jun-young died.

Right?

Right?

Right, Corporal Choi?

Do a head count and restrict all access.

You're an accomplice now, you punk.

So do it right.
