" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

Excuse me, Minion.

I need to clean up, but you're in my way. Go there.

Hey!

Dong-ho, go sit over there.

I'll ask if I need help...

Hey, Je-hyeok!

I heard you signed with Nexen.

My gosh.

Treat me to a meal.

Aren't you cold?

Do you never feel cold?

Your attorney said

the salary is great and that it's for multiple years.

Hey, that sounds so great.

Nexen was very generous.

Is it because you're their franchise player?

Ji-ho. What happened with her?

Oh, Ji-ho?

She said she'll visit next week or so.

Will she really come?

She's busy with exams,

so she'll come once she's done.

My gosh, Ji-ho really has a big heart.

Hey, when you see her, give her a big hug, you punk.

No, I'll give her a big hug instead.

No, I'll tell Je-hee to do it.

Goodness.

You seem really happy these days.

-Me? -Your relationship

must be going well.

Hey, I'm just happy that things are working out for you.

Then can you let go of my arm before we go on?

Have you been wearing cologne?

You are wearing some.

Gosh, you're like an animal. You can smell like a dog.

Who is this woman?

She managed to make a player care so much about his looks.

"A player"?

You have a huge misunderstanding about me.

Gosh.

I'm not like that.

I am

a very faithful and diligent man.

Je-hyeok.

Even if everyone else thinks I'm a player,

you shouldn't think of me like that.

Okay?

I'm not tired at all. I'm used to it now.

Let's eat brunch. I'll be at your place. What do you want?

Let's see. Anything is fine.

But Joon-ho, you should go home and sleep.

You worked at night, so you just got off.

I can always sleep later.

Should we go to Garosu-gil and have brunch there?

How about some udon? I know a great place.

Right!

There's a place I saw on social media.

It's a pasta place with only one table.

It's supposed to be great. Should we go there?

Oh, but we can't.

They only take reservations, so we can't go right now.

Their business must be thriving.

Totally.

They only take online reservations at 7 a.m. every morning.

They get fully booked in a second.

You have to click well.

Really? That place sounds really good.

I do want to try it.

Really? Okay.

Joon-ho, hang in there!

Joon-ho! You can't lose your mind right now!

Five seconds.

Five. Four. Three.

Two. One.

Failed. And failed.

-Gosh. -Failed.

Success.

What?

Success?

-Success? Success! -Yes, success!

-Success! -Yes!

-Success! -Yes!

YOUR SEATS ARE RESERVED

It's a success!

" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

Congratulations.

Goodness, it's great news.

What's wrong?

My gosh.

If he's up for the review of parole, he has a 90 percent chance.

He lived out 80 percent of his sentence,

he's a model prisoner, he never got in trouble,

and probably got high scores from officers.

He'll pass.

How many years did he serve?

He was demanded to death, then sentenced to life.

A decade ago, it was reduced to 25 years.

This is his 22nd year.

I've been studying inmates lately.

His was the toughest to memorize.

This is tough too. Man.

Look at him. How do you call that human?

When will the result come out?

They passed the list a week ago,

so it'll come out in two to three weeks.

The parole review usually takes about 30 days.

How do you know everything?

It's why experience is important.

It's my brain, not experience. I'm pretty smart.

I'm serious.

If I was born into a decent family and kept studying,

he would've been my classmate.

Hey, why is he here again?

Captain Yu said something harsh, so he's hurt.

What did he say?

He wouldn't be that hurt unless it was something really harsh.

Tell me about it.

-Aren't you watching Screening Humanity? -I have the episodes memorized.

I saw that episode about 10 siblings of a mountain village over 20 times.

I'm sure it'll end with the seventh kid and eighth kid

falling into a field from a sled.

I see.

Han-yang. Jung-woo.

I've had too much time on my hands since I came here,

so I thought of a few business ideas.

Hear it out, okay?

Now, the first idea.

Min-cheol, a word, please.

Me?

Is there a problem with the parole?

Was I turned down?

No.

That's not up to us to decide.

And you don't need to worry.

There's no reason for you not to pass.

I have something to say. Come on out.

Okay.

Gosh.

Hey, daycare kids.

Don't fight and be good.

If you fight again, this uncle will get mad.

Goodness.

Darn it.

I'm in a lot of pain right now.

Would it make your body rot if I rested on your lap?

Do you hate me that much?

-Do you? -I feel uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable to see you touch everybody using drugs

as an excuse.

You know, don't you?

I do.

Is that why

you hate me?

I don't get it.

I don't want to denounce you,

but I don't get it.

If someone I was close with was like you,

I would've hit him.

I don't care what he says. Who cares?

Hey.

If you're going to be here every day, at least clean up.

Don't just hang out.

Do you hate me too?

Of course.

No one likes a druggie.

Druggies are the ones who mostly return the second time.

They can't be helped.

But you'll get better.

You haven't had any drugs for the past few months.

Nothing at all, right?

Then you're almost there.

You have a month until you leave,

so hold out until then, go to a rehab center right away,

and get properly treated. Okay?

Okay.

So why did you do drugs? You're perfectly fine.

When did you start doing drugs?

When I studied in Japan.

Ji-won and I broke up for a moment back then,

so life was lonely and tough.

And among the kids I had class with,

there was this kid who was like a hippie.

He said doing it once should be fine.

TOKYO, JAPAN, 2015

I had it in the blink of an eye.

I wasn't thinking at all.

I just had it once that day as a joke.

But later on,

I found myself working as a mule.

So Joon-ho,

don't ever take anything like drugs.

Okay?

All right. I won't.

Okay.

-Joon-ho. -Yes?

Do you think I can really get better?

I can.

Yes, of course. I can get better.

I won't ever

take drugs again.

Gosh, you psycho.

You ask, then answer yourself. What do you want me to do?

Joon-ho.

What is it now?

What's with Je-hyeok's pitch?

His pitches remind me of myself.

It's everywhere.

It's all over the place.

I've been watching for a while,

and he hasn't thrown a strike once.

An interview?

-With me? -Yes.

For a graduation thesis on long-term inmates.

She wants to interview you.

I'm not forcing it.

-I'll do it. -Really?

I should slowly practice meeting people.

Yes.

And who knows?

If I do this interview,

it might help with my parole review.

Okay.

Visits will resume soon, so I'll set up a date.

Officer Paeng, may I have a word?

Me? Why?

Just for a second.

You're making me scared.

Steve Blass disease.

What is that?

I just told you. One who suffers from that illness can't throw strikes.

That's not good.

That's why it's bad.

So I'd like to ask you for a favor.

Then just tell him to throw strikes.

I just said he can't do that.

-Why not? -The Steve Blass disease!

What is that?

Are you stupid?

What did you say?

There's no particular cause.

So it's harder to fix.

But mostly, it's psychological.

It's usually due to mental burdens or stress to play well.

That's very peculiar.

Very peculiar.

There was one in my unit too.

He was a golfer.

I think it was called "yips."

He suddenly got that and couldn't fix it.

So he quit and got enlisted.

He couldn't putt like he used to.

Do you really want to say that in this situation?

Are you a pervert?

It's psychological.

You should see a counselor soon.

He just ignored me, didn't he?

Yes, he did.

He signed with a team,

he might get back with his girlfriend,

so he just needs to play well.

That became stressful for him.

Does he need surgery?

No, it's because of stress. Why would he get surgery?

I asked because I don't know.

Can't you read between the lines?

I can't. I'm not a player. How would I know?

I already gave you an explanation.

Do you always get stuff right away?

Why don't you get it? What I said wasn't even hard!

Even a dog would get it.

What? What did you just say?

Hey!

Get closer and talk. If you shout, people will hear you.

Darn it.

Hey, Officer Paeng.

What was the passcode for the drawer in the ward office?

Three. Six.

Eighteen. Darn it.

Man, what a wonderful set of numbers.

And guys,

you two need to stop fighting.

I can hear you all the way in there.

Don't you dare fight again.

I'll shut both of you in solitary confinement.

He'll receive professional help.

You're the officer in charge of him,

so if you give him your approval,

I'll have him treated in the new inmates' room.

And of course,

-Director Na can't... -Director Na can't...

Don't let him find out.

-Thank you. -Goodness.

Anyway, why is Je-hyeok faced with never-ending troubles?

It's never-ending.

I thought he can just play baseball with peace at heart.

My goodness.

Does the man up there give a cue sign?

When one ordeal ends, the skies throw him another ordeal.

They won't let the man live in peace.

Goodness, I feel bad for Je-hyeok.

I wonder if he'll hold out.

It must be exhausting.

Goodness.

Je-hyeok.

Can I have a word with you?

I found

a way around it.

Let's try it starting tomorrow.

So there is a way?

Yes, of course. There are many ways.

I'll fix it. Every disease can be fixed.

-Of course. -Of course.

I'll do anything. I went through a lot to be here.

I'll do anything. Anything.

My gosh.

Je-hyeok really is something.

I would've given up already.

It'll be tough to fix Steve Blass disease. He must have a way, right?

Cell Six, workout.

So they're the gangsters?

-Get closer. -Darn it.

-Gosh. -Yes.

But their leader is the only real gangster.

That dumb-looking thug is his henchman.

Next to him, the two wicked men are druggies.

You druggie.

Those two are the worst.

They mooch right away when they smell money.

Darn it.

And there's an errand boy.

-Darn it. -He's like soda.

A can of soda that always comes with combos.

Right.

They need him to run amok as they like.

He has the keys.

But he's not ordinary. He can get almost anything.

But isn't it easy for anybody to find medicine?

We have those in the store.

He used to take lots of cold medicine.

Was it that dangerous?

Different drugs, probably.

The drugs they deal are on another level.

He deals drugs like zolpidem, stimulants, analeptics, and more.

If he sees a rich guy, he goes in.

What?

I know that punk.

That punk with acnes.

He bought drugs from me before.

Stop that.

HARU MILK

A sugar daddy ahead.

That punk is the son of a barbecue place in Gangnam, right?

The rich kid.

Boss.

We found a boiler that'll make us warm through winter.

Can you do anything?

Of course.

If I can fix this, anything.

Yes, let's do this.

A psychologist named Freud said

the unconscious mind rules over human behavior.

What could be the problem?

What is the cause?

We'll hypnotize you and find the answer in your unconscious mind.

Doctor.

Now.

Cut it out.

Mr. Kim Je-hyeok.

You're about to go

into the unconscious world

through hypnosis.

Keep your focus

on this item.

You will

slowly

go over into the world of hypnosis.

Your eyes will feel heavy.

You'll soon fall asleep.

Right now.

My gosh. Is he asleep now?

Let me check right away.

My gosh.

Now.

You are about to have

the coolest cup

of Coke in the entire world.

SOY SAUCE

Oh, gosh. That's salty.

That's salty.

That's not coke. That's soy sauce.

Gosh, that's salty.

That's salty.

-It's salty. -Excuse me, Doctor.

May I have some soy sauce?

Too salty.

How did you know to bring soy sauce?

Je-hyeok, meet her. She's a psychotherapist.

Hello.

You're about to draw a graph of your life.

She said that

life can

always turn for the worse no matter how happy you are now.

And it can also get better no matter how unhappy you may be.

However, the most important thing is

to perceive yourself accurately in your current state.

That's where your treatment begins.

Now, on this paper,

draw a graph of your life from your childhood until now.

And mark exactly where your current position is.

Goodness.

DRAW THE GRAPH OF YOUR LIFE

Je-hyeok, enough.

Je-hyeok, stop.

Hey.

Ma'am, we'll call it a day.

We'll see you again tomorrow.

Stop it, Je-hyeok. No, Je-hyeok.

Hey!

I'm not done yet.

My current position is way below this floor, okay?

I'm in prison.

I have to dig much deeper.

Let's go, you lunatic.

Let's go. Come on. Let's go.

You told me to do it, punk.

Now, the final stage.

Think back on your glory days.

Even a major leaguer like John Smoltz

suffered from a serious case of Steve Blass disease.

He watched his performance in the World Series again and again,

and perfectly overcame it.

Keep watching a video of your perfect pitch over and over again.

And engrave it

in your head.

And whenever you throw, play that video automatically

inside your head.

-Okay? -Okay.

Now, here's a video of the game from September 21, 2016.

This was the day

you recorded 48 saves, which was the most saves in a season.

Do you remember?

Je-hyeok, let's go back to that day!

It's now September 21, 2016.

Let's go back to that day. Play ball!

Don't play it.

What?

Ji-ho and I broke up that day.

I remember it like it was yesterday. September 21, 2016.

I'm sorry.

The day after her birthday.

I forgot all about it

because I was full of myself.

Gosh.

You jerk.

I'd forgotten it.

-Gosh. -Gosh.

Gosh.

KIM JI-HO

Hey, Joon-ho, what's up?

What do you think? Your boyfriend is about to die.

What?

Can you meet with me for a moment tomorrow at lunch?

And why haven't you visited yet? Come quickly.

He might really die at this rate.

Anyway, make some time for me tomorrow at lunch.

Okay?

Why would a college student interview you?

He said it's for a graduation thesis ten seconds ago.

You're pretty slow too, aren't you?

Did you say you'll do it?

Of course, I did. She'll come tomorrow.

Je-hyeok, Jung-woo is ignoring me. Teach him a lesson.

Jung-woo, don't ignore him.

Joon-ho, can I exercise for a bit?

He's like a racehorse.

Nothing else is on his mind other than baseball.

Captain Yu, a letter.

From Attorney Kang Min-gu.

Is he your retrial attorney?

It must be tough for you.

Thank you.

You should have it alone.

Does this mean you might leave before I do?

You're right. If the results come in quickly,

I might go out earlier.

I see.

Once we go out,

we should make a club or something.

Let's call it the "I Love Prison Club."

We can make categories for each prison.

And...

And we can share

the memories we shared together as we chat and hang out.

Before you're released, you must be extra careful.

You should stay away from those gangsters in Wing Six.

They aren't even gangsters. They're just crazy for money.

I'll be fine.

Han-yang.

You should be careful.

They might come for you, okay?

Yes, a rich person in an awful condition like him

is like a VVIP client to them.

Jung-woo, what's wrong?

Did the retrial fall through?

My brother was

fired from the college.

My goodness.

He was dismissed.

Your brother is well, so don't worry about him.

He's busy teaching kids at an academy.

He says he's more at peace than when was a professor.

I was surprised when I heard that he was dismissed,

but he was only worried about you, Jung-woo.

You punk. How's your forehead?

You punk.

Gosh, that jerk. He always gets into fights.

That guy will never be a decent human either.

Why are you so nervous? This isn't a blind date.

Right? This isn't a big deal. Why am I nervous?

They're probably just typical questions.

"Why are you here? How did you live? What will you do once you're out?"

Probably just stuff like that.

Don't get nervous and relax. All right.

Okay.

Let's go.

Wow, you're good-looking.

What?

You're much better-looking than I expected.

Goodness.

Gosh. Sorry.

Where are you going?

To meet his master.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM PREP BOOK

Are you taking the exam again?

What's that book?

I started tutoring last week. Two high school seniors.

I forgot everything.

I need to study before I go. Otherwise, I'll be lost.

Why are you tutoring? You must be busy studying.

I didn't get the scholarship. So I have to work really hard.

Tell Je-hyeok to pay your tuition. He'll pay for his girlfriend.

Why? Are you crazy?

I'll pay for my studies.

And I always received scholarships.

This is all because of Je-hyeok, my ex-boyfriend.

Ex-boyfriend?

Aren't you two back together?

Hey, what are you saying? Don't make me nervous.

Do you want him to hang himself?

You have no idea how much he looks forward to your visit.

I said I'll visit him, not that I'll date him again.

Hey!

Cut the wordplay. It's unlike you.

I wanted to see how you'd react.

I plan to get back together, and I'll visit him soon.

Don't worry.

My gosh. Stop playing around with me.

It's not funny.

I've been busy with midterms.

I really had no time because of work.

Also, I had to think about what to say

when I meet Je-hyeok. That's why I haven't visited yet.

What will you say?

Well...

I thought long and hard about how I should speak my mind

without hurting my pride.

But I'll just keep it authentic.

I won't test the waters.

I won't do that.

I still like Je-hyeok a lot.

I still like him so much. Why would I play hard to get?

I'll love him again passionately.

My gosh.

MOTION FOR A RETRIAL

What is that?

I thought Jung-woo might want to know

what's happening with his retrial.

So I'm sending him a mail.

I already explained everything in a letter.

Really?

Good job.

When did you take care of that?

You can leave the case for a moment.

Just focus on your life until we have the result.

Okay.

Did you tell Jung-woo that I was dismissed from the university?

I thought he already knew.

Goodness.

And this.

Je-hyeok used to use these. I brought them from home.

He broke these in, so he'll be happy.

They look awful, but he used them to win last year.

Ji-ho.

Je-hyeok has

the Steve Blass disease.

He has the Steve Blass disease.

He can't pitch to the center.

He can't throw strikes.

Did you have fun at the interview?

I thought it'd be really awkward and scary.

It wasn't awkward at all.

I didn't feel awkward,

and I wasn't scared at all.

I mean, for that student.

Did that college student not run away after she saw you?

You look really scary, you know.

If anybody sees you and says you aren't scary,

they need to get their eyes checked.

It means they have awful eyesight.

I'm feeling extra wonderful today,

so I won't hit you.

Thank you.

You said you won't.

You said you won't hit me, you stupid boar!

-No. -Let go of me.

It's all right.

I'll kill him and serve another 40 years.

I'm not wrong, am I? What I said isn't wrong.

You're as big as a wild boar, not a tiny little mouse.

-You're no mouse! -I'm frightened of mice!

I'll do a mouse kick on you.

Get back here.

-Drop the rock. -Come here!

Let me hit him once. No. Just three more times.

-Get back here! -You can't fool me again.

Hit me. Go ahead.

-I'll get him. -Wait. Hey!

He needs to be beaten a lot more.

Go ahead and hit me! I'll burst your veins...

Dopey continues

to pick fights with different people.

Is he taking titles?

Like a fighter?

-I'll pull out your hair. -No.

He's just a psycho.

I don't feel any pain.

Darn you.

We tried everything.

We've done hypnosis and counseling by using the Freudian psychotherapy,

and I showed him a video too.

I called famous psychologist

and listened to his research about the unconscious mind.

We really tried everything we could.

But nothing worked.

What do I do now?

Those methods are too complicated for Je-hyeok.

What?

What have you done to the simplest man on earth, Joon-ho?

Then what? What should I do?

Here, take the glove.

Draw an X in the middle.

Tell him to hit this.

Come on.

Don't say anything else.

Just tell him to look at the X and throw at it.

Just tell him that.

He won't get anything else.

You did it.

You got it, Je-hyeok.

Je-hyeok, I'll leave so you can have a good time.

My gosh, Ji-ho.

She's your trainer.

I mean, how did she fix this at once?

Ji-ho is like...

Zhuge Kongming to me.

You're right. Hey, she's Zhuge Liang.

It's Zhuge Kongming, you idiot. It's not Zhuge Liang.

Anyway...

When will she come?

Is she not coming?

Call her. Call her and ask her to come quickly.

I'm too scared to call.

I'm scared she might change her mind.

She still likes you.

I mean it. She told me.

She still

likes you a lot.

She can't come because of work.

She'll come next week,

so she told you to train hard.

Oh, but if you fix your Steve Blass disease

before she gets here,

she said she'll come right away.

Dong-ho, let's go.

This is hot.

Darn it.

Gosh.

SPICY SNACK

Excuse me, Mr. Yu Han-yang.

Jung-woo.

Things don't look good today.

Don't make a scene and get penalty points.

Stay low for a while.

What's going on?

The gangsters of Wing Six caused trouble.

It's Director Na.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS

You should pack up.

You'll be released soon.

I might not get it.

I didn't want to get my hopes up.

Han-yang probably won't,

but I'm sure you will.

Captain Yu.

Hey, Jung-woo.

Do you want a drink?

I'm cold.

Han-yang might get hospitalized at this rate.

He hasn't been doing well lately.

He'll be released soon. He just has to hold out for two to three weeks.

Do you still not know what to say to your brother?

I get it.

I bet you feel really bad that

your brother had to quit his job at school.

It's not that he quit.

He stayed away from teaching because of my case,

so I think he was dismissed.

I want to tell him to stop minding me

and go look for another college.

However if I tell him this,

he'll say he'll do as I ask,

but he'll continue to work on my retrial.

What should I do?

In his shoes, he won't be relieved until he sees the result

of the retrial request.

What should I say to him?

What should I do?

Once he sees me,

he'll tell me to go find another college.

Tell him you'll do so once his retrial is set.

He won't believe it.

He's a kid with strong pride and self-respect.

He probably thinks I was fired because of him.

I'm sure he's up all night,

thinking of a way to persuade me.

I think he'll tell me

to stay away from his case,

that he'll manage on his own.

What should I do?

The result will come out soon,

and there's still a lot to do.

WESTERN PRISON

My goodness.

An article has been released.

Zolpidem...

DRUG DEALING IS PREVALENT IN PRISON!

What are you doing?

Take in that gang leader in Wing Six and interrogate him first!

Have you ever seen the leaders get their hands dirty?

Even if we interrogate him, he'll say he didn't do it.

We should take in and torture those two druggies by his side.

It looks like

those two are the ones who are messing around with drugs.

I'm sure reporters are dying to see what we'll do next.

Let's use this chance to interrogate them.

Also, let's find their customers and give them additional sentences.

Who's in charge of Wing Six?

Gosh.

It was just once.

I sold it just once.

It's not habitual.

I'm being falsely blamed.

Cut the crap.

Tell me more.

Who else bought it?

I'm serious. They're our only customers.

Why would we not tell you when we're about to go down?

Are you sure?

-Is this really it? -Yes.

What a shame.

If you told us a couple more, I would've deducted

your extra sentence.

No one?

None?

-Let's wrap it up. -There is one.

There's one more.

Give me a little more time.

Then I'll spill one more.

Are you okay?

He doesn't look well.

Han-yang, are you okay?

Officer Paeng!

Officer!

I doubt there are more people.

There aren't many drug offenders.

It doesn't matter.

I just threw it out there.

If we get one, good.

If we don't, then we don't.

Let's go.

Gosh.

Hello.

Access granted.

DISCIPLINARY WARD

Yes, it's that punk.

I saw him in the medical ward with my own eyes.

He's not around when I need him. Why is he in there?

That rich kid

needs to take his medicine.

-What should I do? -What do you think?

We'll go to the medical ward too.

-Sorry? -Hey, for tomorrow's breakfast,

prepare constipation medicine.

All of us at the disciplinary ward will

go to the medical ward.

Also,

-do you have that drug too? -Of course.

I'll bring it to the medical ward tomorrow.

You're a smart man.

Hey, I believe in you.

My gosh.

What a mess.

My stomach hurts.

I think they can just take medicine.

You're better, right?

-Yes. -Yes.

We have a full house today. Come here.

When can I take them?

They're cold, and they keep throwing up.

So they'll spend the night here.

Let's see how they are tomorrow morning.

You can take them back then.

What did they eat wrong?

It can't be food poisoning. It's cold outside.

That can happen in winter too.

Gosh.

I guess I'll have to sleep here again.

Gosh. Good luck.

Where's Officer Lee?

He went home just now.

Then how did you get here?

Joon-ho opened it up.

On the way, he said he was late for a date,

so he passed me over to an officer who was passing by.

How are we going back?

I'm to ring that.

If I ring that, then any officer will come by

and take me back.

He gave them a heads up.

He's a genius.

Anyway...

It's boring without Han-yang.

I like this.

We're all normal.

Han-yang might be better off at the medical ward.

What if those druggies try to get to Dopey?

Right.

Why?

The druggies are probably in the medical ward.

There was group food poisoning in the disciplinary ward.

The druggies aren't doing well, so they're there to stay.

Will it be okay?

The doctor is there.

The officers are there too. He'll be fine.

Goodness.

Doctor!

-Doctor! -Yes?

What is it?

I think his ligament snapped. Quickly.

What? Where? Who?

Ward Six, Cell One.

Officer Go, I need you too.

Sang-hee is a big guy,

so the doctor can't bring him alone.

I knew he'd get in trouble one day.

-Let's go. -Yes.

Darn it.

Excuse me, Captain Yu. One second.

Me?

Hurry up.

Come and sit.

-Thank you. -Sure.

How's the retrial going?

He filed the paperwork, and it'll take a while.

You can ask me if you have a question.

I went to law school.

Okay.

I've been studying the law too.

Hey.

I knew that guy has a good sense of smell.

How did you know?

Nice.

We're high school friends.

I was a better student than him, but he cheated to go to med school.

You punk. I'll end your life once I spill the truth.

Sure.

Hey, what about the medical ward?

Someone from my ward is there.

They're all asleep. It's quiet.

Even Officer Go went to take a nap.

Hey.

Did you order one?

Gosh, you punk.

You need to be more generous.

That's enough. There's not enough for Captain Yu.

-I'm hungry. -Captain Yu.

-Do you want some jokbal? -Goodness.

Okay, I get it! That's enough!

Gosh, that's really loud.

Officer Paeng, are you still working?

No, I'm not.

Section Chief Shim and I were out having chicken and beer.

Then I was reminded of you guys.

It's nothing.

There's no beer.

Hey, you.

My gosh.

Dong-ho.

-I should've gotten one more. -Yes.

Why not three?

It's my third month receiving a cut paycheck.

Anyway, I don't see Captain Yu.

Jung-woo should eat too.

Officer Song came to get him.

Oh, it's fine.

He'll have chicken.

Officer Song always has chicken in the middle of the night.

-Why are you here, Officer Go? -Someone in my ward

snapped their ligament, but he seemed fine.

I wanted to take a nap,

so on my way to the sleeping room, then I heard the noise.

You smelled the chicken. You don't have to lie.

-Take a seat. Let's eat. -Should I?

-Officer Go. -Yes?

Shouldn't you be in the medical ward?

The psychos from that ward are there.

It's okay. They're all asleep. They can do without me.

The doctor is there, right?

He said he went to see his friend.

Damn it.

No.

You know what this is.

-Stay still. -Hey.

-It's what you love. -You druggie.

Open up, you punk. Open up.

-Open up, punk. -Mouth.

-No. -Going in.

Open up.

Halt!

You punks, what is this?

Take them away!

Let go.

Are you hurt? Are you all right?

I'm not okay.

Can't you tell?

Anyway, Officer Song.

How did you think of coming here?

Do you have supernatural powers?

What are you doing here?

Gosh.

I'm out of breath.

Why are you here?

Gosh.

Hey, what about the medical ward?

Someone from my ward is there.

They're all asleep. It's quiet.

Even Officer Go went to take a nap.

Hey.

Did you order one?

Gosh, you punk.

You need to be more generous.

That's enough. There's not enough for Captain Yu.

-I'm hungry. -Captain Yu.

-Do you want some jokbal? -Goodness.

Officer Song.

May I ask for a favor?

Sure, I'll do anything for you.

Come to the medical ward with me.

Right now.

And bring them too.

-Sir. -Yes?

Can you give me a hand?

You two fought all the time, but I guess you were fond of him.

It wasn't fondness.

That's a crime.

So I had no other choice.

Darn you, kid.

What...

Darn it.

WESTERN PRISON

I heard.

Stop there. Do not continue.

I'll consider it heard.

I guess that student will be here today.

She's a stranger, but he looks so happy to see her.

Your brother is coming too, right?

Min-cheol, you have a visitor.

Jung-woo, wait here. You can go once Min-cheol returns.

Your brother is here.

Okay.

Je-hyeok, there's a visitor.

It's Mr. Ryu.

I'm sorry.

Hey, let me ask you something.

You should've asked sooner.

My brother will say yes,

but he'll keep working on my case without my knowledge.

But then

if I seriously tell him to stop,

I think he'll be hurt.

What do I do?

If you were me...

Gosh.

Then what would you do?

Do you know what your biggest problem is?

You're too tiring.

Your mind is too complicated.

You're only 30 now.

Why is your mind so full and complicated?

You want your brother to be happy, right?

But you need him too.

Your retrial is around the corner.

Hey, if that falls through,

you'll end up like me.

Your life is at stake, you punk.

Just be honest with him.

Ask him to stick around to the end.

Tell him you need him.

Tell him that you're

really sorry.

But that

you really need him.

Just be honest with him.

I'm sure that's what he wants to hear...

from you.

You're a kid who always eats snacks.

But your mind is full,

pretending like you're a grown-up.

Yes, of course.

Don't worry, Jung-woo.

I'll always be by your side.

Thanks.

For what? It's nothing to be thankful about.

Jung-min.

Can you send me some books?

I wanted to read a few.

If you tell the officers, they'll let you send it to me.

Okay, just let me know. I'll buy them and bring them to you.

Do you need anything else?

Do you need more money?

How about long johns? Are you wearing one?

Does anybody bully you?

-Who went out? -Hey.

One question at a time.

Right.

Okay.

Yes.

Are you that happy?

Yes.

Whenever I talk to her,

I feel

quite wonderful.

I'm lucky

that her and I became partners for this interview.

If it was anybody else,

I wouldn't have talked at ease.

What do you mean?

That student singled you out.

From the very beginning,

she wanted to interview Kim Min-cheol.

Do you know her?

How could I know anyone out there?

Or is she your family?

Goodness.

Je-hyeok, did you fully recover from the Steve Blass disease?

Yes, his troubles are over.

Nothing worse will happen.

And Minion became so nice too.

Right?

You'll be released soon. You're almost there, Je-hyeok.

All right, attention.

Ten inmates from Daegu Prison

are here at the gardening workshop for a visit.

Why?

Our gardening class is the top in the nation.

They come from time to time to learn.

They'll spend about two months in our prison,

learning the skills and knowhows from our gardening team.

They're here. Come on in.

What's with that punk?

Okay, we're all adults here. Be nice to each other,

and please get along for two months.

Everyone, say hello.

The greenhouse practice room?
