" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

Will you stay by my side

even if I give up on baseball?

Of course.

I said I'll take care of you.

Just don't hurt yourself.

I love you.

WASTE INCINERATOR

" PRISON PLAYBOOK "

RESTRICTED AREA

I stop by to see him often, so don't worry about him.

And he's already used to the place.

When he's on duty...

Gosh, he's the worker.

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT DUTIES INCLUDE FOLDING ENVELOPES, BOXES, AND BAGS

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT 4

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT 3

Officer!

I'll take 200 more shopping bags.

See you.

What did you just say, punk?

Hey, say that again.

My gosh.

I said, say that again.

Don't you get paid every month thanks to the tax money I give?

You all get to make a living because I committed a crime and came here.

You better be thankful.

Have you gone mad?

I am mad, you bastard.

What did you say?

Is that all you can say?

You punk. Do you think officers are pushovers?

-Do I seem like one? You son... -Will you stop?

Let go. Let go of me.

-Yes, enough. -Hey.

Did you hear what he said?

-Let's go. -Let go.

-You son of... -Okay, fine.

I don't want it.

That guy is always like that.

He always swears at everyone.

Just think of it as nonsense.

Why do you get involved?

It's only your loss.

I say this for your sake.

He said, "You bastard. You psycho. Open the door."

"You better serve me right."

Should I go, "Yes, sir, I'm sorry"?

Is that how you respond?

Yes, that's right.

-My gosh. -I just let them swear when they do.

It's my loss to get involved.

Why do you waste your energy on jerks like that?

Just ignore him. Please.

Is that so easy? Can you do that?

Yes, I can do it.

Let's all go back inside.

Hurry up and go inside.

TRANSIT CARD

-Oh. -Your share.

Thank you.

We only get a few pennies without those druggies around.

So who's your next target?

A guy named Captain Yu.

He's keeping a low profile because of a retrial request.

I found out that

Kim Je-hyeok is surrounded by people who must stay low.

What if Kim Je-hyeok doesn't care?

Let's just bring him here and put a knife to his neck.

No.

We can cut off one of his fingers.

We can cut one a day and ask for one billion won.

That won't work.

He will lose it in an instant.

My way should be better.

Trust me.

I should've attacked the men by his side. Why did I waste my time?

Anyway, Boss.

I don't see one of the thugs.

He's at the hospital.

He fooled around with money,

so I cut off his Achilles tendon.

He can't seem to walk.

There is not one punk I can trust. Not even one.

Sang-jae.

There's no one to trust anymore now.

Isn't that so?

It came to my house yesterday afternoon.

It says I'll get killed if I testify

and to watch out for cars.

YOU CAN'T REVEAL THE TRUTH NOW YOU'RE A DEAD MAN IF YOU TESTIFY

Corporal Choi got the same letter.

I'm all right, but he's totally scared.

It's Sergeant Oh, right?

No, they aren't amateurs.

He's under questioning for perjury right now.

This won't benefit them at all.

Who could this be?

Who would do this?

What's wrong?

Corporal Ju and Choi, my two witnesses,

got blackmailed.

My gosh. Who are those jerks?

It's Sergeant Oh, right?

They checked with him,

but they said it wasn't them.

Those jerks would say it wasn't them. They won't admit it.

Those dirty jerks. Darn it.

What year are you in now?

I'll be a senior next year.

I'm a good student. I even got a scholarship.

Wow. Did you?

You took after Mom...

No.

She wasn't a good student either.

So what do you study?

Business administration.

I want to work at a stock firm.

I have two certifications too.

Financial investment analysis and asset management.

Goodness. That's wonderful. Nice job.

Good job. You've done well.

I'm proud of you.

Is there anything you want to do from now on, Dad?

Me?

Well, I'm a guy

who's pretty ignorant,

and I'm not good with my hands.

I don't know if I'll be able to do anything.

I heard lots of people get certified in here.

They do. I got a few too.

But not too many. About 50 or so.

-What? -Let's see.

Data processing. Furniture making.

Joinery.

Motor vehicles maintenance.

My gosh.

Machinery maintenance.

Boiler installation.

And what else?

Horticulture engineering. Building engineering.

Forklift truck operating. Heat management.

High-pressure gas engineering. Mushroom seeding.

Mold forming.

-Laundering. -My gosh.

How many licenses do you have?

You scored 700 on TOEIC?

Yes, I speak a bit of English too.

-My gosh. -Gosh.

Then you'll make a fortune once you get out there.

You can choose one of these.

But the thing is,

there's nothing I can really do.

I have all these licenses, but I've never actually done it.

These are all meaningless paper.

You had lots of business ideas. You can start a business.

What are your ideas?

You can fund his business. Let him borrow the money.

No. Why should I do that?

I'll make an investment.

I'll invest in your business.

I'll hear out your ideas and make 100 percent investment.

Well, it's not even an idea.

Do you want to hear it?

So here's the thing. Instead of packed lunches,

I'll load a truck with food,

then go over to cook for the people there.

When people film dramas or movies, there are lots of people involved.

But I'm sure they only eat packed lunches, right?

So I can carry the food myself,

then serve soup, rice, and side dishes.

Food truck?

Nice name.

Food truck. I like that.

You have a knack for naming stuff. You're quite witty.

Min-cheol, it has been around for over a decade.

Is that so?

Tteokbokki.

I'll start a business with everyone's favorite snack

with a dash of my specialty.

How so?

I'll name it after me.

Your name?

Kim Min-cheol Tteokbokki?

Oh, no.

My former job.

I'll name it after my history.

-Gangster. -My gosh.

This punk. Are you a genius or what?

All your guesses are correct.

No way.

Gangster Tteokbokki.

So? How does Gangster Tteokbokki sound?

Doesn't it go perfectly with my image?

Also, I'll start it in Hongdae, where young kids go to hang out!

It's already in Hongdae.

You liar.

It has been a while since they opened in Hongdae.

I went there often with my girlfriend.

Oh, no. Untouchable.

You mean, "unbelievable."

Is that so?

You got 700 on your TOEIC.

Oops.

Now, this is seriously the last idea.

I actually wasn't going to share this one.

You know that I'm an avid fan of films, right?

You all know I'm an avid...

You need to hear me out through the end.

Yes.

Every time I watch a film, I think to myself,

"It would be awesome if that bullet Chow Yun-fat shot

went right by my eyes

and came toward me."

Or "As Chow Yun-fat fights with his enemies,

it would be great

if he fights them

right before my eyes. It would be so real."

I often had that thought.

-No, please... -Gosh...

We put glasses on people.

These glasses are magical.

With these, everything on the screen from people to animals,

mice, horses, cows... Everything comes alive.

It would feel realistic.

What do you think?

Isn't this an amazing idea? Right?

But you know,

I'm not sure if we have the technology yet.

If we have that technology,

it would be an amazing idea, right?

Well, it has been a while

since that came out.

These days, films also shoot out wind, water,

and fragrances.

They even have wind and water?

Yes.

Are you teasing me?

Stop joking around with me. How dare you?

I'm not.

They're called 4D films. You can find it in theaters.

You punk. You jerk. Try to make some sense when you talk.

What now? Four what? Forget your nonsense.

-My gosh. Seriously. -What? "My gosh"?

"My gosh"? You punk.

So did you watch that in theaters?

My head!

Hey!

When an elder talks,

be obedient and say,

"Yes, sir," you punk.

Come here.

My gosh!

Food is here!

Ninety-eight.

Ninety-nine.

One hundred. Je-hyeok, that's enough.

I have to go pee, and I'm starving too.

-Okay. -Good.

One hundred one.

-One hundred two. -Goodness.

One hundred three.

One hundred four.

One hundred five.

-Captain Yu. -One hundred six.

One hundred seven.

One hundred eight.

Why was Officer Song here? What was it?

We have a room inspection tonight.

What?

Why are you shocked?

Do you have something?

No, gosh. It's an old habit.

I feel very comfortable without Mullae-dong or Dopey around.

We have nothing.

-Je-hyeok, did you remove the dumbbells? -Yes.

Whose bag is that?

Mine.

That's my bag.

Who's trying to get me in trouble?

Je-hyeok.

It must be those jerks.

Which jerks?

Yeom?

I'll kill that jerk--

Min-cheol, don't do anything.

Don't do anything.

You'll be released on Christmas.

Don't do anything.

You too.

Don't get worked up. Stay low.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yeom must be the one who's blackmailing

your witnesses.

I'm very sorry.

Guys, I'm...

I'm very sorry.

That jerk. Damn it.

I'll take care of it.

I'll settle this.

Settle what?

Don't do it.

We're fine,

so don't do anything.

I can leave next year

or the year after.

Je-hyeok, we're fine.

You need to pull yourself together, okay?

You're almost there. Almost there, Je-hyeok.

Not even two months now. You need to hold yourself back.

Even if he plays dirty tricks, pull yourself back.

Corporal Ju and Choi

will stay with my brother for a while.

Don't worry.

My brother can manage.

So Je-hyeok,

jst think of yourself.

Starting from now,

make sure nothing happens.

You're almost there.

There's one up higher than him.

He's a gangster, so he's nothing like Yeom.

I'm sure he has Yeom on a leash.

Officer! I'll take another 100 chicken boxes.

Je-hyeok's gift.

All right!

You truly are the Son of Justice.

Yeom would lose his spirit if he finds out you're like this.

Yes, he messed with the wrong guy.

Anyway, Joon-ho. I hear the gangster Yeom works for is much scarier than him.

Ones who got smart while working for him

all became crippled.

Also, Joon-ho.

I'll start studying for TOEIC tomorrow.

As you know, I'm smart.

I just never bothered to study.

Once I do, I'm sure I'll get full marks in a year.

Well, I'm not sure if Je-hyeok will take me,

but I'll still do my best and take the agent test.

Starting next year, KBO will begin

an agent system...

I'll tell him later.

That inmate only speaks garbage.

All he does is curse.

He goes, "You jerk. You arse. You idiot."

"An officer? So what? You aren't my superior."

"How dare a kid like you talk back to an elder?"

"How old are you? What's your name? What's your position? And rank?""

He talks down to us all the time. I can just end him...

Where are you going?

You can't leave while I talk.

Officer Lee, I just got started.

Don't follow me. I'm seeing Je-hyeok.

I'll come too.

Goodness.

My gosh.

Goodness.

Hey, honey.

A day teacher?

Good grief.

Why would kids want to know about my job?

Su-bin keeps asking why you aren't coming,

and she's greatly disappointed.

Her friend's dad came. Kyung-ha's dad from downstairs came.

So she asked me why you won't come.

What does her friend's dad do?

A plastic surgeon in Gangnam.

My gosh.

And isn't Kyung-ha's dad a musician?

He's a violinist.

Exactly. That's why I won't go.

Why not? What's wrong with a prison officer?

What can I tell them anyway?

That I look after thieves and murderers?

What can I say?

And kids won't understand

what a prison officer is even if I explained.

Honey, I'm sorry,

but can you make up an excuse for Su-bin?

Tell her that I'm too busy to be there.

I'm sorry. Bye.

All cells, lock up!

What happened?

Who hurt you?

I fell while I was at the workshop.

-I'm fine. -Tell us now.

Just say it now.

It's okay.

I was told to stop helping you play.

Those psychos.

I declined.

Then Yeom and his boss

trampled over my hands.

And you stayed still until this happened.

Why did you let them do it?

You should've punched them.

Je-hyeok told me never to hit a man.

My goodness.

You told me

never to hit a man from now on.

Goodness.

Je-hyeok.

I'll be fully healed in just a week.

I'm a beast, you know.

Give me just a week.

You'll be able to practice again out on the field.

I'll be well soon.

Check your account tomorrow.

From what I hear, you're just someone's minion too.

If I give you 300 million, do you get

like 100 million?

You need to give it to your boss, right?

Let me know if you need more for yourself.

No, I'm taking everything.

I'll charge that gangster with violence and take everything.

I never work for anyone.

Then take that and get lost.

Fine.

But bad news.

There's a bit of interest.

There's some interest.

Just a little.

You can...

work it off.

CRPT is on patrol. We have to go now.

-Okay. -Darn it.

Deposit it by tomorrow.

I'll see you

by the incinerator at midnight.

Come alone.

Okay?

Come alone.

Come out, now. Let's go sleep.

ADMINISTRATION OFFICE

Your account statement.

Yes, thank you.

This is the insurance payout for the car accident last year.

It's what insurances are for.

I just got the envelope.

We can no longer look into personal accounts.

Oh, I see.

Let's go.

ACCOUNT BALANCE: 300,103,000 WON

Get the errand boy.

Hello, 50,000 inmates.

This is I'm Lee Min-ju, your host of Borami Radio, the Corrections News.

I'm the architect of my problems.

It means one who tied the knot must untie it too.

It means no matter what,

if you did something, you must take responsibility to the end.

In this year, or even just today,

if you still have responsibilities you left undone,

instead of postponing it or hesitating,

why don't you put it into action?

Another great day, inmates.

Have a great night.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2017

Mr. Kim.

Take this.

My dear Kim, you're too close with the officers,

so you might say something odd.

That's why I'm telling you this.

My boss' gang became regulars at this restaurant.

It has a pretty odd name.

And food is very bland there.

I'm just saying.

Then see you soon.

Will you

stay by my side

even if I give up on baseball?

WASTE INCINERATOR

Why?

Will you hit me?

Right.

You're mad because I mentioned your sister.

But you can't hit me.

You'll return to the field soon.

If you beat me, you get an extra sentence, then you won't be able to leave.

Okay?

You won't get out of here.

Forget playing baseball.

Everything is over for you, punk.

I don't have to go out.

I won't play anymore.

I decided to stop playing because of human garbage

like you.

Because of a jerk like you.

I'll end my life

right here and right now.

Hey.

Hey, wait.

Darn you.

Sir.

Sir. No, sir. Please stop.

Sir, stop. Please stop, sir!

Je-hyeok.

This is about everything I can do for you.

Thank you...

For saving me before.

Thank you for saving me.

I always regretted

not thanking you back then.

I finally get to tell you.

It's quite belated.

I'm sorry.

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER

-My goodness. -Goodness.

Hey, are you awake now?

I hope he wakes up soon.

Then he'll be stashed in solitary confinement.

Kim Je-hyeok beat me.

What?

Kim Je-hyeok. That jerk beat me up.

Oh my.

Show respect to an elder.

Also, that lifer already said

that he beat you up.

Kim Je-hyeok was there too.

Kim Je-hyeok beat me up too.

-Darn it. -Where is he from?

Oh, he's from Daegu, right?

Hey, Yeom Sang-jae.

There are lots of surveillance cameras around here.

The warden here loves those cameras. Everything was caught on tape.

We caught the lifer beating the lift out of you on tape.

Oh, also, you threatened Kim Je-hyeok

to bring you 300 million won.

What?

Bad news. That was recorded too.

Recorded?

Who recorded that?

I did.

I recorded it.

If I give you 300 million, do you get

like 100 million?

You bastard.

Listen to the end.

No, I'm taking everything.

I'll charge that gangster with violence

-and take everything. -My gosh.

-You punk. -I never work for anyone.

Then take that and get lost.

Officer Paeng, can you do me a favor?

Can you take this

and play it for his superior, boss, or whatever he is?

Oh, and the phone is mine.

Just let him hear it, then put it in the storage with my things.

Good grief, these punks.

You all think I'm your servant.

-Thank you. -It's fine.

Get well soon, okay?

You bastard.

You need what? Your phone?

Yes, I need my phone.

I need it for a moment.

To do what?

To record something.

Please don't ask me anything

and don't do anything.

I'll manage.

-I'll do it. -No.

I will.

-Je-hyeok. -If you get involved too,

then I might

really kill that jerk.

Let me try this first.

Here.

Thanks.

Rumors say Yeom's boss is much worse than Yeom himself.

Should I start working with him too?

No, don't do anything.

I'll do it.

Hey.

Joon-ho.

I'll do it.

Oh, there's something you can help me with.

Do you know someone in Administration?

Check your account tomorrow.

From what I hear, you're just someone's minion too.

VOICE RECORDING 1

If I give you 300 million, do you get

like 100 million?

You need to give it to your boss, right?

ACCOUNT BALANCE

YEOM SANG-JAE: 103,000 WON

Thank you.

-Give him this instead. -Yes.

Gosh, Yeom Sang-jae is a complete madman.

How can he ask Je-hyeok for 300 million?

-My gosh. -So he won't.

Is this fake?

I typed it up on a computer.

My gosh.

So pretend like you don't know.

That's a piece of cake.

See you later.

My gosh, that sly kid.

He's so quick to understand these things.

I thought Je-hyeok was a guy who could never get lucky,

but I guess that's not it.

Yes, tell me about it.

I'm so glad that lifer was working through the night yesterday.

If not, Je-hyeok would've been done

-as a ball player yesterday. -Gosh.

Gosh, my heart still shudders just thinking about it.

Goodness.

A lifer is still a lifer with a year of extra sentence,

or even ten years of extra sentence.

My gosh. How can he get any luckier than this?

I hope Je-hyeok is always lucky from this day on.

He has two months. No, less than two months.

He's almost there.

Je-hyeok, let's take you to the mound!

-Let's go! -Good grief.

-I curse you. -Darn it.

D-3 UNTIL CHRISTMAS

It's freezing. This is the warmest place around.

D-1 UNTIL MIN-CHEOL'S RELEASE

What? Why is he sleeping here? Did he come early?

He came at dawn.

Son of Justice got released then.

He came in that early to see him off.

Goodness.

Are you that happy to leave?

I'm sorry you're going without seeing your hero, Je-hyeok.

I saw him yesterday.

How?

At my solitary confinement.

Gosh, that punk must think prison is his home or something.

Unbelievable.

-Are you leaving tomorrow? -Yes.

You're a smart guy.

So you can always go down the wrong way.

You're a petty criminal now,

but you'll soon become a notorious thief.

You're telling me this when I'll be leaving tomorrow?

What will you do?

I'm not sure.

No one will hire me because I'm an ex-con.

I'll find part-time jobs here and there.

Oh, should I call this number?

Who is it? Whose number is this?

Me.

It's my number.

Don't go out and do something foolish.

Study TOEIC until I get out.

I'll hire you.

Gosh.

-Je-hyeok... -Cut it out.

Save it.

Goodness.

Officer Paeng.

Is Min-cheol leaving tomorrow?

Gosh, Je-hyeok is leaving in ten days too.

That means Minion will be the only one in that cell.

Everyone's leaving.

Captain Yu is here.

Right, the retrial request.

It takes such a long time.

The year will end before it's out.

What if everyone leaves?

What if Captain Yu is the only one left behind?

What do you think? You can go in with him.

Go away. Goodness.

Gosh.

Min-cheol, your teeth will be worn out.

-How many times did you brush them? -He brushed his teeth 25 times.

Time won't go by. It's driving me crazy too.

Should I just break out?

Then at least start packing.

I did.

Ten days ago.

KIM MIN-CHEOL PERSONAL BELONGINGS

You should start packing too.

-I'm done too. -I see.

Don't mind me.

I'm fine. I'll leave soon too.

You're right. You'll leave soon too, Jung-woo.

Sergeant Oh, that jerk will be locked up,

but you'll be released soon. Stay strong.

Goodness, they'll end up passing it over to the new year.

How do I find out

the result?

Will you go to the court?

No, they'll send it via mail.

I get one in my office,

and Jung-woo is the applicant, so he gets one.

Don't you have other clothes?

Will you wear that through winter?

What about it?

It's warm and comfy.

Goodness.

Min-cheol.

Let's go home.

PAENG SE-YUN

Once I'm released,

I'll call right away.

The day you return to the baseball park,

I'll have a huge party.

I'll tell everyone that you're the best player in the world.

That you deserve

to receive a standing ovation

along with many more blessings.

I'll gather everyone in town

to show you my love and support, Je-hyeok.

I mean it. I'll borrow money if I have to, but I'll have that party

no matter what.

Why are you suddenly speaking in honorifics?

A man like me

got to be friends with someone like you

only because I got lucky. Thanks.

I'm just too grateful.

Thank you so much

for treating me

like your older brother.

Jung-woo.

Don't let go.

Don't let go of your hope.

Your case will be reopened.

I've been praying hard

for the last few months.

I no longer have anything to hope for,

but I prayed that Captain Yu Jung-woo will be

vindicated from false charges.

I prayed that your case

will get reopened.

I prayed to God every single day.

You're almost there, Jung-woo.

Stay strong.

Be careful when you get out. It's a scary world.

That was kind of funny.

-Officer Paeng. -Yes?

Stop it. Men don't do this.

I like you.

Officer Paeng, I like you the most in this world.

For me, it's my daughter.

Me too. Actually, I like

my daughter the most too.

A daughter? Min-cheol, you had a daughter?

Why haven't you told me?

I'll tell you everything once I come by to hang out.

Yes, instead of visiting, just come and hang out.

Let's hang out and have a drink.

Oh, that punk, Jean Valjean is out there.

And that college student too.

Is she not done with her thesis?

No.

She has to write it for the next 50 years or so.

What? Is she that stupid?

Thank you for everything.

I'll live a good life.

Do live a good life. You have my support.

No way! Why should I go?

You're good with words.

Can you head over and have a talk with that inmate?

I knew he'd get in trouble because of his temper.

He said something weird first.

Even so!

He hit an inmate? Is he a thug? A thug or what?

Why couldn't he just ignore him?

Come on, hurry.

He's in the medical ward,

saying he'll report Officer Paeng to the human rights commission.

Officer Paeng will never apologize.

If he gets one more penalty point, he'll be disciplined.

So Officer Lee, please go and talk to him!

I don't want to!

Darn it.

All you have to say is you're sorry.

No!

I didn't get to beat him enough. I can't apologize.

Goodness.

Will you beat him more and get fired?

Why would you hit someone?

Go apologize to him now.

No. Officer Lee, stay out of this.

Your pride isn't the problem.

Just say sorry,

then punish him later by the rules.

It's not the first time inmates swore at us.

When they say rubbish,

just let them say it and forget all about it.

Do you know what he said?

Once he gets out, he'll abduct my wife and daughter...

Damn it. You punk.

-Officer Lee! -You bastard. What now?

How dare you speak like that, you scumbag!

-Officer, stop. -You bastard.

There are things you should never say!

We try to treat you nicely, and what now? How are you human?

-Let go. -Officer Lee, stop it.

-Say that again, you bastard. -Come on.

-Damn it! -Officer Lee!

-Keep going! Darn you! -Officer Lee!

COFFEE WITH CREAM

Gosh.

Hey, what's with you? What are you doing?

Wash your ears. That's what King Yeongjo did too.

Gosh.

I didn't hear him to the end anyway.

I beat him right away.

Stop it.

I'm done.

I'll get going.

Hey, Officer Lee. One second.

Goodbye.

And this too.

These should touch.

WESTERN PRISON

D-7 UNTIL KIM JE-HYEOK'S RELEASE

Do you read newspapers?

Just my fortune.

Jung-woo, what's your Chinese zodiac? Dragon?

Yes, I'm a dragon.

Okay. The dragon, where are you?

Right here.

By any chance, is there anything for Yu Jung-woo?

Oh, right here.

Western District Court.

WARD 2 HELPER

SEOUL WESTERN DISTRICT COURT

What is it?

Is it bad?

Just tell me. I don't believe it.

Yes, this is all just a lie.

It told me not to go on a trip or shopping.

So what does it say?

"A burden on top of a tough life."

"Even if what you anticipated go wrong, do not be too disappointed."

Do you want to open it?

I will do it. Give it to me.

Okay.

At the very top, it says "decision." It's the same for everyone.

If the retrial request is approved,

it'll say the case is accepted.

If it wasn't accepted,

everything else will be the same except it'll say "dismissed."

You'll see "dismissed."

PRIVATE PARK'S MOTHER

I'm sorry I visited you so suddenly.

It's all right. Are you well?

Yes, I'm doing fine.

Well...

This is Jun-young's

death benefit.

I couldn't bring myself to use it.

I guess it was for this day.

MYUNGWON BANKBOOK

Please use it for his retrial.

I heard the retrial will take up to two years at most.

It'll cost a fortune.

I want to help.

It's okay, ma'am.

I've been

getting support.

Help from people around you will

get more and more uncomfortable over time.

You know that.

Please use this.

I'm sure Jun-young will be...

He'll be happy.

Oh, also,

this is

a gift for you from me.

You need to buy a thicker jacket.

The days are very cold.

You're up for a long fight.

You need to dress warmly.

When I see you again,

I'll make sure I check

if you bought a jacket or not.

And I'll check the price too.

So make sure

you spend everything I give you

and get an expensive and nice jacket.

That way, I'll feel

more at peace.

Thank you.

WESTERN PRISON

D-1 UNTIL KIM JE-HYEOK'S RELEASE

Thank you. That's my little brother.

Come on, Warden Kim. You're draining him to the end.

I'd say Kim Je-hyeok

pretty much owes us a release interview.

Think of everything he got here.

But still, he'll leave tomorrow.

It's not too great to see him in prison uniform.

His fan should stay out of this.

It's all right. I'll do it.

I have things to say.

That's my little bro. You're a man of a big caliber.

Also, there's a guest outside.

He said he's a fan, and he wanted to meet you.

Who is it?

The Minister of Justice is here.

Oh, my goodness.

WARDEN'S OFFICE

Whose idea was this?

Director Na.

Director Na suggested they film all kinds of promotion videos

before Je-hyeok gets released.

My gosh.

The minister is just the cherry on top.

Excuse me, Mr. Secretary.

-Yes? -I'm sorry.

This was just between us. I'm sorry.

-Goodness. -It's fine.

You should meet him.

He's Director Na's friend from grade school to high school.

Mr. Secretary right here and Director Na

worked together to make this happen.

-Isn't that so? -Yes, it is.

Hyung-su got the idea,

then we hopped on the bus.

Wait.

Director Na has a close friend?

-Are you really his close friend? -Yes.

Just me.

-I see. -I see.

Before your interview with reporters,

let us record a few videos.

Okay? Is that okay?

Hey.

Say that it's okay, Je-hyeok.

Sure, Yong-cheol.

I'll do that.

First, please show your support for our rookie officers.

Cue.

For Korea's advanced correctional service!

Let's go, Korea Correctional Service!

Next, the opening of the guide video for new inmates.

Cue.

When the world turned from me, they reached out to me first.

Korea Correctional Service will find your lost hope.

Yes, excellent. Good.

Lastly, let us film a remark from just Mr. Kim.

Please celebrate the National Corrections Day in October.

When?

It's October 28 of this year.

Congratulations, it's the 2018 Corrections Day.

Please continue to strive to make Korea more righteous.

All 15,000 correctional officers, you have my support!

Can you make a heart?

Mr. Kim, can you make a finger heart?

Thank you very much.

Goodness.

Goodness, great work.

The minister must be quite busy.

He only stay for his shoot, then left.

Yes, he has to be somewhere right after.

You should go. You're one of his secretaries.

He has lots of other secretaries.

You don't have to mind me.

You're on taxpayer's money.

It concerns me.

My gosh, really.

I want to beat up Director Na.

How can a person be that annoying?

I don't like that guy.

We're sorry.

Don't be. You're right.

He's really annoying.

Excuse me.

May I ask you a question?

Does Director Na have a story?

We thought he's like that now

because something happened to him in the past.

Director Na...

No, Hyung-su.

Back in grade school...

He was also like this.

I see.

He was always like that. There's no story.

He's just born that way.

My gosh, back in the old days, he was just...

Seriously. He's a much better person now.

I see.

REPORT DISCONCERTING FLYERS IMMEDIATELY

BOMOON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 1987

That's all for today's class.

Wait. I was going to do something today.

What was it?

Sir, you gave us a homework

to write up a diary of the growth of a kidney bean,

but you haven't checked.

-Come on. -Come on.

Is that so?

Goodness, you rascals. Bring them in right now.

-Come on. -No.

You said you'll have a spelling test too.

-Come on. -Come on.

Get ready.

One.

-Two. -One.

-Two. -Your elbows have to touch your knees.

Then it counts.

Come on.

One.

-Two. -One.

What is it now?

You swung up with your tummy. One.

-You do it, then. -Darn it.

Then what? Do you want to fight?

-Darn it. Let go. -That's enough.

-Hey! Let go of me! -Guys, stop them.

-Stop fighting. -Come out here.

-Hey, guys. -Let go of me!

Congratulations, Mr. Kim.

Yes, thank you.

I'm a fan.

Anyway, in that case,

may I ask you for a favor?

I heard you'll be interviewed by media outlets.

Kim and I are very tight,

so he made a tough decision for me.

We brought in ten outlets, including three network TV and newspapers.

My brother.

In that case, when you do the interview,

could you please mention the minister's name?

His name is Minister Kim Jong-ha.

Kim Jong-hwa?

No, Kim Jong-ha.

Ha, like "hahaha."

It would be wonderful if you could just mention his name

as one of the people who helped you.

Lastly, is there anyone you want to thank?

There are a lot.

Among them,

I can think of one person.

Our officers.

I'd like to use this chance

to thank our officers for the hard work the put in

during the past year.

Warden Kim Yong-cheol, thank you.

Officer Park Sung-jae. Officer Ok Ji-sang.

Officer Song Ki-dung.

Thank you very much.

Captain Kim Do-yun of CRPT.

Medical Director Jang Yun-hwan.

Section Chief Shim Woo-kyung of the woodshop.

Thank you very much.

And Director Na Hyung-su of security. Thank you very much.

Also,

the person I'm most thankful for...

The person who helped me the most

so I could adapt to this place.

Officer Paeng Se-yun.

Officer Paeng.

Officer Paeng.

Thank you so much.

It's all thanks to you.

Thanks to the help I received at Western Prison,

I will be able to leave healthily tomorrow.

Everyone.

I'll see you again on the baseball field.

Warden Kim Yong-cheol.

Officer Park Sung-jae.

Officer Ok Ji-sang.

Officer Song Ki-dung.

Medical Director Jang Yun-hwan.

Hey, did I miss anybody?

Me.

You missed me.

Hey, Joon-ho. I'm so sorry. I must've been crazy.

How could I forget you? I'm so sorry. My gosh.

Are you actually sorry?

Yes, I'm sorry. I must be crazy.

I'm sorry.

Then right now,

you could forgive me no matter what I say, right?

I'm dating Je-hee.

It has been five months.

What?

Cut it out. Hey, Kim Je-hyeok.

-Je-hyeok, stop. -Come here.

-How can you? Come here. -Hey.

You said you're sorry. Put that down Je-hyeok.

Are you crazy?

You.

You.

You can't sleep, right?

No.

You have seven hours. No, not even six hours.

Yes.

Reporters must be everywhere.

This early?

Yes, it's Je-hyeok.

They should come to see the superhero getting released.

-What about your girlfriend? -Yes.

She'll come.

She said she will.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

You'll want to hold her hand and kiss her too,

but reporters will be everywhere.

How unfortunate.

I'll manage.

You worry about yourself.

Right, will your sister come?

Tell her to stay away.

What if those reporters get her photos?

I'm not that foolish.

I said we'll meet at home.

Also,

my sister

came to visit yesterday.

Really? Isn't it the first time?

Yes.

Stop crying or go home.

Je-hyeok.

I'm sorry.

Hey, stop that.

If you keep crying,

I'll seriously get mad.

I really wasn't going to cry,

but seeing you makes me cry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

And...

thank you.

My gosh.

Good things happen in prison too.

My curt little sister just thanked me.

You should do that to me too.

Don't just be cute to your boyfriend.

Be sweet to me too, okay?

There, there.

Yes, that's definitely my sister.

-Je-hyeok. -Yes?

You don't know

that I've been dating Joon-ho, right?

It has been a while.

Joon-ho said

he'll tell you in time.

But still...

I wanted to be the first to tell you.

Is that okay,

Je-hyeok?

I'm glad.

I'm glad it's Joon-ho.

I would've killed him if it was some other jerk.

I'm glad it's Joon-ho.

If it's Joon-ho, I can be rest assured too.

ESTABLISH LAW AND ORDER

Inmate 7102, Kim Je-hyeok.

You're released.

What are you doing, punk? Come out.

Goodbye, Je-hyeok.

I won't forget your generosity for life.

Generosity? Hardly.

You were

the first person to treat me like a human.

It happened for the first time here.

Thank you, Je-hyeok.

Je-hyeok, you got it!

Kim Je-hyeok, you've done well!

Good job, Kim Je-hyeok!

Goodbye! You have my support!

Kim Je-hyeok, you got it!

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

Thanks.

Let's go.

-There he is. -He's coming out.

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

-Please say something! -Any comments?

-Kim Je-hyeok, look over here! -How do you feel now?

Here's your tofu. Finish everything.

You've done well.

Thank you.

HYOSEUNG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Today, we have a special teacher today

who will teach us about different occupations. Right?

-Yes. -Yes.

Today's teacher is the father of our classmate, Su-bin,

Mr. Paeng Se-yun.

Mr. Paeng Se-yun, come on in.

Dad.

Your dad's uniform is awesome.

-Officer Paeng Se-yun. -You know, he mentioned my dad.

-Officer Paeng. -My gosh, he is your dad. I'm jealous.

Hello.

ONE-DAY TEACHER: PAENG SE-YUN

I'm Su-bin's dad,

and I'm a prison officer.

It's nice to meet you.

Mr. Paeng, please use honorifics during class.

Yes, I'm sorry.

-I'm used to the casual language. -I see.

Everyone.

I work in prison.

So who goes to prison?

People who did bad things.

You're right.

There are bad people in prison.

But everyone makes a mistake.

I'm a person who helps people look back and reflect on their faults.

Well, I brought

a few things I use as I work in prison.

Do you want to try it?

-Yes! -Yes!

Who wants to help me demonstrate?

-Me! -Me!

Put this bowknot on the wrists,

then tie the rope behind

so that he won't move his hand. The end.

Ta-da!

Oh, hey. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It must hurt. I'm sorry.

OCTOBER, 2018

NEXEN NEXT LEVEL

Excuse me, Mr. Kim Je-hyeok.

Where are you going?

If you're going to Gocheok Dome, I'll give you a ride.

Just open the door, punk.

Even I'm nervous, Je-hyeok. A call-up to the top league...

And it's for the Korean Series.

I'm really nervous too.

Liar.

I'm very nervous too. I didn't get any sleep

after the manager called.

Hey, you must mean that.

Are we there yet?

Yes, just through that tunnel.

We're almost there.

That tunnel is very long. I bet it's the longest in Seoul.

Je-hyeok, hold your breath.

Hold it until the end for your wish to come true.

Come on, do it.

I won't breathe.

I'll wish that you'll throw great pitches

so you can become a winning pitcher.

Je-hyeok.

KIM JE-HYEOK

Nexen falls behind by ten to zero.

It's the first half and the eighth inning of Kia Tigers attack.

It's the first match between Kia Tigers versus Nexen Heroes.

It looks like they'll be switching pitchers.

He's finally up. It's Kim Je-hyeok.

Everyone, Kim Je-hyeok is here on the mound once again.

My gosh, this is a touching moment.

Kim Je-hyeok is back on the mound after two years.

-Bravo, bravo -Bravo, bravo

-My life, oh, my life -My life, oh, my life

-For our dazzling future -For our dazzling future

Everyone!

-Bravo, bravo -Bravo, bravo

-My life, oh, my life -My life, oh, my life

-For your courage -For your courage

-that made you run until now that made you run until now

-Bravo, bravo -Bravo, bravo

KIM JE-HYEOK

Batter, to the box.

-Bravo! -Bravo!

The first round of the Korean Series was in Gocheok Dome today,

where Kia Tigers took the victory by ten to zero.

However, despite Nexen's defeat in the first round,

we saw a moment more touching than the game's outcome.

Kim Je-hyeok, the phoenix,

returned to the mound after two years of hiatus.

Although Kim Je-hyeok couldn't win his return match,

he quickly got his pitches back, showing that he can make a comeback.

Sixteen thousand baseball fans who came to Gocheok Dome today

all sang Kim's new fight song

and welcomed the hero's return.

Next news.

The second trial ruling of a case that enraged Korea was made yesterday.

The court charged Sergeant Oh, who beat his junior to death,

with murder and sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

The judges decided to charge him with murder

because Oh was fully aware

his junior could die while he was battered.

Captain Yu.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You're almost there.

You really are.

You can do this!

Put your clothes on.

Don't lie there.

Okay?

Do not pick a fight or lose your temper.

You be careful, you punk.

I can take you with one punch if I see you out there.

Are you dying for an additional sentence?

Where should we meet, you bastard?

Sit down, you scumbag.

Stop talking. Get ready to lock up.

All cells, lock up!

Wing Two!

Lock up.

Dong-ho! Damn it!

Hey! Darn it. Hello?

Yes.

Yes, one more time. I'm sorry.

I thought it was a cell phone.

-I'm sorry. -Once again.

Cue.

-Wait. -When he takes it out.

-No. -No.

-Hey, wait. -Go in when he takes it out.

Sadly, you missed.

Another miss.

I don't feel any pain.

I heard that

you decided to play baseball gain.

Yes.

My late coach was in my dream.

My late coach came to my dream and said

that it was his wish...

I'm in trouble.

-Yes, cut. -Cut.

This is the last time we'll see that.

Han-yang is...

-He's back! -Dopey is back!

-Yes! -Dopey is back!

Hollywood. Robin hood.

-Blue. Glue. -Hey.

-Cut! -Cut!

Let go of me, you jerk.

Let go. You jerk! Officer Paeng! Look at this jerk!

Officer Paeng!

Go! Why won't you go? Why are you making me do it again?

Why won't you go?

I called him a punk, then hit you to leave.
