Prison Playbook (Wise Prison Life / Seulgirowoon Gambbangsaenghwal) (2017) s01e08 Episode Script
Episode 8
PRISON PLAYBOOK (Episode 8) FALL, 2016 That's the deal Mr.
Ko had fiercely opposed to.
I knew it would cause trouble.
Mr.
Ko should have stood firm.
He's just a manager.
What can he do? Hamyoung Construction Suspicious of Embezzling Ten Billion Won This might bring the whole company down.
What do we do? Mr.
Ko, how long has it been since you joined the company? Just under 20 years, sir.
You've been here as long as our chairman has.
This matter must feel like your own problem.
Yes.
I am the company, and the company is me.
Ever since I joined the company, I never put myself first when it comes to company matters.
Is this your fifth year in the Finance Team? This is my third year.
I was in the Legal Team until 2014 when General Manager called for me.
That's when I started working in the team.
Then, how are you so good at your job? I'm flattered.
You're also responsible.
So, about this problem we're having What do you think about taking responsibility for it? Pardon? You were the one who headed this project too.
You've been in the Legal Team, so you know how the law works.
What do you think? Do you want to spearhead this? Me? But I'm only a manager.
How could I do such a Director Ji, I have full trust in Mr.
Ko.
Please do not worry.
He's familiar with the law, and he knows this project inside and out.
He'll be able to take care of it without a problem.
Yes.
Also, we wouldn't just sit and watch.
All of our lawyers will be there to defend you.
Dr.
Ko.
Put up a good fight.
Okay? Well I Hello.
Tomorrow is the trial, right? -Yes.
-Is it going well? Thanks to the company's help, I think I'm prepared.
-Thank you.
-Hey, Mr.
Ko.
I'm saying this just in case.
Even if it doesn't work out tomorrow, don't worry too much.
I just met with Director Ji.
I see.
Even if you lose the trial, the company will make sure to pay you your salary.
Thank you.
He will guarantee you a position until you retire.
Don't worry and do your best.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me.
Of course, the company should back you up.
Both I and the boss think of our staff as family.
I've never thought of them only as my colleagues.
So, don't worry about it too much and do your best.
-Got it? -Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, sir.
I passed on the message.
It's a good deal.
He can't get a retirement package anywhere else with that background.
Yes.
You don't have to worry.
Once we get the verdict, I'll make sure he doesn't appeal the decision.
Yes.
Yes, sir.
You should go to bed, sir.
Good night.
PRISON PLAYBOOK Hamyoung Construction Inflated Construction Costs Even in 2012! Isn't this Dr.
Ko's company? Jeez.
They'll be in trouble again.
What is it? Not again.
Je-hyeok, call for Lieutenant Paeng.
Goodness.
What do we do? Lieutenant Paeng! Lieutenant Paeng! Lieutenant Paeng! Hey! Lieutenant Paeng! Do I look like your friend, -you little prick? -There.
Are you okay? How many times has it been with Dr.
Ko today? How bothersome.
Have a great day.
You're always working hard.
Let's go, Lieutenant Paeng.
Are you fooling around with me? Is this a joke? I'm sorry, but it really doesn't hurt right now.
I can't say it hurts when it doesn't.
It's bearable, and it doesn't hurt right now.
I don't need to see a doctor.
I've only seen those who fake illness.
It's so refreshing to see such an honest patient.
But you seem to have chronic pain.
You need to get tested to see what's causing it.
Let's see.
I sent the papers for a temporary release, so go get a diagnosis once it's approved.
No way.
I'd live in prison if I can go out that often.
Also, there will be no temporary releases for now.
What? Why? Do you really not know what's happening around here? We have an inspection next week.
Captain Na is running amuck.
We can't use any of our budgets.
It doesn't cost much for a car or treatment.
That Captain Na That's exactly my point.
It's not even his money.
The budget is there to use.
What is he saving it for? God He's so hard to like.
I hear he wants to become an inspector in the legal team.
Now I get why he's pushed himself too hard.
He failed the bar exam for ten years until he got this job.
Of course he's not satisfied with his position.
Anyway, take good care of your wing.
If something happens during inspection, we're all dead meat.
Dr.
Ko needs to see a doctor.
He won't approve it, right? What if it turns out that he was faking it? Just don't try to do anything.
Don't do anything.
Just sit still.
I should just quit and open a real estate office like Lieutenant Lee from the woodshop did.
Wasn't he fired? He was fired for taking money from the furniture factory.
Fired, my ass.
He passed the test and left of his own accord before he was fired.
He got his severance pay too.
That poor chief kid took the fall and was transferred to Cheongsong.
Don't you have any friends? How do you not know anything? -Why you -Okay.
Chief Sim, Lieutenant Paeng.
-Yes? -Yes? If your wing and the woodshop didn't have problems, these people wouldn't be suffering like this.
If your inmates don't cause trouble, the inspection will be problem-free.
So please, let's do this right.
Even when they come, they'll look through some papers, check the fire hydrants and leave.
Why are you stressing out so much? Also, our guys didn't start trouble.
The other punks provoked them.
Leave them alone and see if our guys cause trouble.
Lieutenant Paeng, please come.
Captain Yoo is about to make trouble.
There are no CRPT officers right now, and I'm the only one here.
Something is about to happen.
The other trainees are egging him on, calling him a murderer.
I warned them to stop, but they don't give a crap about what I say.
It's not because of Captain Yoo.
Those jerks are scumbags.
Seriously, please come help Please help me.
Do you have time to kill? I don't.
But you leave me with no choice.
I want to see how you handle it and if you do it right.
I'm going because I don't trust you.
Didn't you hear me? I refuse to get training with a murdering bastard.
Okay? Focus on the class.
If you cause trouble, you may get penalized.
Look.
I want to focus on the class, but I can't focus because of this murdering bastard.
What rotten luck.
Look at him.
There he goes again.
What? Hit me, you bastard.
Hit me.
Hey.
Do you think you're still in the army? -This fucker -Gosh, please Stop it.
Don't fight.
Stop it, you bastards! Have you lost your minds? Why you I can't believe this.
Don't we have civil rights in this prison? This bastard's a murderer.
You should isolate bastards like him so that good inmates like me won't be harmed.
Shut up.
Say one more word, and you're going to the hole.
If he isn't being sent to the hole after this, what must he do to be sent to the hole? Both of you will lose mail, phone, and visitation privileges for two weeks, and will lose two behavior points.
Now, return to your cells.
I can't see anyone for two weeks just for a little scuffle? This is a violation of human rights.
So what? Should I split up your cell? Is that what you want? CELL SPLIT: SEPARATE CELLMATES No, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Please, don't split up our cell.
I finally got adjusted.
I can't go to another cell.
I'm sorry.
-I'm very sorry.
-Split up our cell.
Are you insane? You should be thankful that you're assigned there.
I don't care about my cellmates.
Split up the cells.
Do whatever you want.
I don't care about that.
Dr.
Ko, it might be appendicitis.
You shouldn't let it rupture.
You need to get surgery if your appendix ruptures.
Those bastards will kill the poor guy.
It isn't his appendix.
The appendix is on the right side.
And pain from appendicitis starts near the belly button and shifts toward the right, and causes a sharp, stabbing pain.
But Dr.
Ko's left side hurt from the start, so it isn't his appendix, but something else.
They can easily identify the cause by running a few tests, but those evil bastards Those evil people won't let him go.
Hey, Looney.
You look like you're struggling a lot lately.
Go to the store and buy a bunch of cold medicines.
He got a bunch of new stuff.
You have a lot of money.
Just use it.
I won't take cold medicine anymore.
I'll fight it.
What a good boy.
Shouldn't Han-yang be treated at a facility? I heard Gongju Penitentiary has a clinic.
How come they don't send him? If they keep druggies like Han-yang, they get a lot of funds from the government.
I see.
I bet it's a lot.
That's why those bastards keep most inmates in regular cells as long as they aren't total psychos to pocket the funds.
That's why those bastards keep most inmates in regular cells as long as they aren't total psychos to pocket the funds.
Fuck! It freaking hurts! Let go! Shit! He must be a moron.
-He's just honest.
-Honest my ass.
Thank you.
Are you okay? He says he's fine.
He says it doesn't hurt.
Why is he saying he's not sick? You can get a leave if you say it hurts.
Others lie and still get away with it.
Why are you so dumb? Did people leave the grounds like this in the past? I don't know about others, but Dr.
Ko would never do that.
That's right.
Maybe that kid would, but Dr.
Ko wouldn't lie about being sick.
Captain Na.
Can't you let Dr.
Ko go to a hospital off the grounds? The intervals of pain have been much shorter this week.
He may roll around in pain tonight.
For our sake No.
All the cellmates will vouch for him.
Please let Dr.
Ko go to the hospital.
Then let's do this.
I need a reason to send him out, so all the cellmates should submit a letter requesting Dr.
Ko's visit to the hospital.
It's like a petition.
If every single cellmate writes a handwritten, heartfelt letter for Dr.
Ko, I will permit his visit to the hospital.
I'll give you until 9:00 p.
m.
tomorrow.
Damn it.
What will you do? Don't even dream of it.
Lieutenant Paeng.
Did I get any letter today? I'm expecting a reply from Mr.
Do.
I don't know! Ask Errand Boy.
Geez.
Bro, did you bring just two cups again? What about mine? I'm not your brother.
But you're so close with Je-hyeok.
That means you're a brother to me.
Also, feel free to call me by name.
My name is Yeong-cheol Kim.
I already told you that over ten times.
Now I'm beginning to think you're purposefully ignoring me.
-Am I right? -Yes.
Section Chief Park is outside.
You'd better go in.
Time's up.
Okay, I understand.
Bro, I'd better go.
You threw over 100 already, so just finish up.
You shouldn't overdo it.
Okay.
See you.
Thank you.
No, I'm the one that's thankful.
I got to work here thanks to you.
It's such a sweet job.
-Thank you.
-Bye.
Do you become brothers with just about anyone? It's not my thing.
I just let things be.
You do what you have to do.
Hey.
Should I really try throwing with my right? -It feels light.
-Really? Try throwing just a few more.
-You got it now.
-Right? I haven't used it for a long time.
My right arm somehow got better.
Hey, get down.
Let me move this back.
This isn't even ten meters away.
Did you forget how far the mound is? No wonder you threw so well after all those years.
Move it.
It should go back at least 8m.
Pull it.
Not bad.
If that's the case Throw it.
Well, I used to be a player.
Should we test it out with others? How can this be? I finally found my calling at the age of 46.
I've wasted so many years.
Bring it, bring it.
Did you see that? I hit the major league player Je-hyeok's throw.
I hit it in one go.
Hey, can you throw me one too? Was baseball always this easy? I should have gone into baseball.
The speed is the problem.
It's not even 100km per hour right now.
What do we do? It's okay.
I'll just practice.
There is no other way except practice.
It's fine.
Once I start working on speed, it'll slowly get better.
Don't worry so much.
I didn't know there was a writing contest.
What time do we get mails tomorrow? In the morning.
I'll bring it to you right away.
It must be an important letter.
From your daughter? No.
I wrote my boss a letter because I had to ask a question.
He hasn't replied yet.
Are you talking about the asshole boss that blamed you for everything? Do you still keep in contact with them? I would have hired a killer if I were you.
-I'll wait for it.
-Okay.
Captain Yoo.
Can't you write the letter for us? It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to write it.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Jung-woo Yoo.
Even I'm writing one.
Will your fingers break if you write one? You're being such an asshole.
Who are you to swear at me? What have I done to deserve this kind of rudeness? -Watch what you say.
-What did you say? -Come here, you asshole.
-Be quiet.
The guards are still around.
Are you at a boy scout camp or something? Why not just write letters to each other? I'm sorry.
You don't have to write one.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how tight you guys are, but keep me out of it.
Okay? Dr.
Ko has been suffering from chronic pain for days.
Please allow him to see a doctor and get treated.
Okay.
Bye now.
-Where's the stir-fried spicy pork? -It's here.
Here you go.
-Thank you.
-You can eat it right away.
I know.
Thank you.
Enjoy the food.
-Where? -S, K, O? How do you pronounce it? Anyway, that's where the date will be.
It seemed nice from outside when I met with Je-hee Kim last time.
She told me there is a special guest room, so I booked it.
-Do you not like it there? -It's embarrassing.
-Why? -Je-hee will be there.
So? Did you tell Je-hee that I'm going on a blind date? No.
Actually, I did.
I booked it over the phone.
I asked her to find a romantic and dark spot for your blind date.
-What's up with that reaction? -What? Do you like Je-hee? It was strange when you made me take her home.
Are you crazy? It's because she's Je-hyeok's sister.
Then watch how you act.
She's someone I cherish.
Speak for yourself! The press doesn't know he's playing baseball, right? No.
Seems like it's still under wraps.
How is Je-hyeok doing at the woodshop? He won't be able to train if he becomes a chief.
Can't you take over his job at the woodshop? Go to the woodshop.
You're good with your hands.
You're a handy guy.
Let's see.
Where was the knife again? Come to the restaurant by 8:00 p.
m.
this Saturday.
Be on time! Hello, Chief.
When did you clean everything? Your hand isn't better yet.
It's the least I can do.
Everyone has to work more to fill my quota.
I'd feel worse if I didn't do this.
Also, here.
They were selling this at the greenhouse.
It's not expensive, so don't feel pressured.
I don't have much money No.
Thank you.
You allowed me to rest because I hurt my hand.
I know you asked Chief Sim to change my role to cleaning instead.
No one has been so kind to me like you.
Thank you.
It's lunchtime.
-Come and eat.
-Okay.
Gosh, really? Congratulations.
No wonder you were smiling so much.
Congrats on the parole.
When will you be released? Once the review is over, I think I'll be released in a month.
My little sister postponed her wedding to next month, so I can attend.
I'm taking a certificate exam next month.
I'll be really busy once I'm out, so I can't come visit.
Keep that in mind.
You don't have to come.
Why would you want to visit? How does the parole review work? I don't think I'm eligible for that yet.
Of course not.
It hasn't even been a year.
You need to serve at least 80 percent of the term and get a good score.
Hey.
Hey, Je-hyeok Kim.
The warden wants to see you.
See you later.
He'll probably ask for more autographs.
He committed the same offense three times.
It's likely he'll commit it again.
He won't be considered.
Okay.
This inmate doesn't get any visits nor calls.
I don't think he can establish a permanent residence upon release.
I'll take him out.
Okay.
This person hasn't fulfilled his quota.
Why are we considering him for parole? REQUEST FOR PAROLE ELIGIBILITY REVIEW MIN-SUNG KIM Min-sung Kim is the most faithful man in the woodshop.
He recently hurt his hand while using the table saw, so he missed work.
He's short just one point.
Usually, someone like that can be considered for parole.
Just one point short No.
Whether it's one point or a hundred points, he's not eligible if he doesn't meet the requirements.
If you look at the bottom and the next page, he might not have met his quota, but he got bonus points for other stuff.
The guards gave positive appraisals, and so did his colleagues.
-If you would just read it carefully -I don't have the time.
If I had that time, I'd review our budgets again.
I feel so bad for him.
He's coming.
It's Lieutenant Paeng.
Dr.
Ko.
Sir, we're doing the last security check.
We have to gather.
Hurry up.
All you have to do is be present.
Come.
Wait a minute.
I'll be back.
Coffee and water! Chul-doo, since the hot water is here, should we have a cup of coffee? Why don't you make one for each of us? Should I? Do we get mails in the afternoon? The delivery is done for the day.
For Min-chul, a pack of instant coffee.
For Dr.
Ko, a pack of instant coffee.
For Kim, a pack of instant coffee.
For Looney I want vanilla latte.
I'm craving something sweet.
Is that so? Hold on.
Just give me what you have.
You're such a weirdo.
A pack of instant coffee.
Captain Yoo, what do you want? I don't want any.
We got the water according to headcount.
What do you want? Damn it.
Dr.
Ko, are you feeling it again? Are you okay? Jung-woo Yoo.
Hurry up and write it.
I said, write it.
That's the only way for him to see a doctor.
Is it that hard for you to write a few lines? Can't you just write it for him? You're not the only one suffering in here.
You're not the only one that wants to die.
You're a fucking loser.
-Hey, watch it.
-Calm down.
-You little -Stop.
Why are you stopping him? Don't.
-Go ahead and hit me.
-Stop it.
Beating people up isn't a big deal for you, is it? -Bring your shit.
-I told you to stop.
Come on, yo! -Stop.
-Super color power! Stop it, you idiot! -Why not? -Let's have coffee.
Just have coffee.
Do you want tea? -Sit down.
-Look at you.
Handsome and all.
-Good for you, you lucky bastard.
-Sit.
Hey, I'm looking for a way.
So don't give up and hang in there.
Next.
You.
There's no time, so hurry.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That feels good.
Yes.
I was getting teary in the shower.
Why would you get teary? I looked into it.
He has two certificates for data processing and network administration.
They give a point for each, so that will make up for what he's short on.
Also, he has great appraisals.
As long as they review his documents thoroughly, he's eligible for parole.
The problem is, there's no time to review his documents thoroughly.
Right.
Having a certificate can get you another point.
I forgot about that too.
When did you find that out? You're quite something.
I'll get in line first.
-Hurry on over.
-Yes.
DELICIOUS DRIED SQUID You must be born to be in prison.
You're enjoying yourself.
Or maybe you just don't have a brain.
I'm not enjoying myself.
Just like you, every day is upsetting for me.
But how can one live that way? It's not possible.
It's not because I like it here.
It's because I have to survive.
I won't be able to stand it otherwise.
Captain Yoo.
I know where you're coming from, but you must control your anger to overcome everything.
You won't last this way.
You can't live on.
While we're on that, stop being a pain and write that letter.
I already did.
I wrote it and gave it to Lieutenant Paeng.
Why didn't you tell me sooner? WING 2 SURVEILLANCE ROOM We're good now, right? Since they cursed at me, I wasn't going to write it, but a person's life comes first.
I should go.
Hey.
Do you want some coffee? What's wrong? Is something in there? I don't drink coffee with sugar in it.
Could I get a Caffè Americano? You're being ridiculous.
Just drink whatever I give you, you punk.
Fuck.
That little Here.
Hey.
I don't trust anyone here as this place is filled with crooks.
No one here admits what they did.
They all say it's unfair.
I don't trust you either, but I'll hear you out first anyway.
What on earth happened in your unit? SUMMER, 2016 Answer me quickly, you asshole.
This is fucking frustrating.
Get up.
Get up, you bastard.
Eat that.
-Private Jun-yeong Park.
-Eat it, you asshole.
I shouldn't hit you here.
What are you bastards doing right now? What? We can't lock him up in the guardhouse? No, they want us to release him for disciplinary training.
Sir.
I guess you don't know.
Sergeant Oh's father is Senator Tae-gu Oh.
He and our division commander went to the same high school.
-So? -Pardon me? Why the fuck does that matter? No one could touch Sergeant Oh or take disciplinary action.
He was above me, the corps leader.
He basically had the most power.
Just keep him like that.
-You startled me.
-Hey, let's switch.
Private Jun-yeong Park.
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
How much longer will he hold up? He had been treating Private Park harshly for a long time.
Private Jun-yeong Park! And everyone knew about it.
Private Jun-yeong Park.
Including the higher-ups in the unit.
That never happened.
I've never heard about it.
Jun-yeong, you must know what happened.
-Be honest with me.
-I really don't know.
It never happened.
However, not a single person came forward to speak the truth about Private Park being abused.
Four.
Five.
Six.
What's he doing? Aren't I so nice? Isn't it delicious? -Yes, sir.
-You moron.
Answer me properly, will you? How dare you spit it out? -I'm sorry, sir.
-Again.
CHOCO PIE What? Would you like to join him? One, two, three, twelve.
One, two, three, thirteen.
One, two, three, fourteen.
One, two, three -Hey.
-Thirty push-ups.
Go.
Yes, sir! One, two, three, -Didn't you hear me? -four, -Now! -five, six, seven, eight, nine Look at you You're going home in a few days.
You too, you idiot.
Pull yourself together! Private Jun-yeong Park.
Hey.
What are you glaring at? You bastard.
Have you lost your mind? But Private Park died at dawn.
You hit him during the day.
Death doesn't always immediately follow assault when you die of shock.
Sergeant Oh, that jerk, must've beaten up Private Park that night.
Some must've been on night duty.
Did you ask them? When the incident broke out, the military police investigated it, but no one testified.
WINTER, 2016 He doesn't want any visitors.
Please leave.
Okay.
After the incident, everyone in the unit was transferred elsewhere.
My brother quit his job and tried to meet the members of the unit, but no one was willing to meet him.
Could you please ask him once more? I'm sorry.
There were 11 of them excluding Jun-yeong.
All of them refused to meet with my brother.
Those bastards They showed up at court as the prosecution's witnesses, but that's all they said.
I asked them to be my witnesses as well, but they refused my request.
Not one of them came.
It's urolithiasis.
Pardon me? Urinary tract stones.
It's more painful than giving birth.
How have you been tolerating the pain? Please treat him, Doctor.
We can't perform surgery as it's less than 1cm.
You can't? He'll have to pass it by urinating.
Does he have to wait until he pees it out when he's in extreme pain? Yes.
Please make sure you drink a lot of water.
You'll have to wait until it passes naturally.
-See you later.
-Okay.
-Dr.
Ko, will you be okay? -Yes.
Goodness.
Lieutenant Paeng, may I ask you a favor? What is it? If a letter arrives for me tomorrow morning I'm really sorry, but will you be able to get it for me? -Please do it for me.
-Stop spewing nonsense.
-Who will be here, then? -I'm really sorry.
It's an important letter.
Please do it for me.
What's the letter about? -Gosh, what a hassle.
-I beg you.
Things have changed a lot.
They used to review all the letters, but they can't do so as it violates our rights, so you can tell me everything.
My wife told me that triple of my paycheck had been deposited.
May I ask what kind of changes there have been? I know how busy you are, but please write me back.
Je-hyeok, let's go now.
I'm hungry.
I'm sleepy too.
There's a bee! Right there! You idiot.
You must be terrified of bees.
I was kidding, dimwit.
Let's go.
Otherwise, we'll be here all night.
What's wrong? OFFICE OF CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER Lieutenant Han, why are you here at this hour? Oh, one of my inmates is feeling sick.
Dr.
Jang is inside, right? No, he's not.
I called the correctional physician.
He's inside.
What's the matter? Je-hyeok Kim, are you feeling ill? Well, I'll talk to you later.
I removed the stinger, so you'll be okay now.
But if it swells up more tomorrow, -come back right away.
-Okay.
Get some rest now.
I can't.
Because of that one person.
I can't.
Because of that one person.
I think he overdosed to take his own life.
He's denying it, but why else would he take ten pills at once? Lieutenant Han and I will probably have to stay up all night because of him.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Don't be.
It's okay.
-I'm sorry.
-Don't worry about it.
I'll get you some ointment.
Joon-ho.
Yes.
I want to sleep here tonight.
What? I want to sleep on a bed.
Thanks, Lieutenant Lee.
I didn't think you were this thoughtful.
I'm surprised.
The IV bag will be good for at least three hours, so you should get some sleep too.
Thanks again.
Have a good night.
Sorry for making you stay here.
Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Please don't worry about it.
He's my friend.
Oh, I heard the rumors.
People said there's a die-hard fan of yours.
It must be him.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Once is enough.
Whether you are thanking or apologizing, once is enough.
Okay.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll talk casually to you.
Yes, please.
I'd like that.
Were you trying to kill yourself? -No, no.
-Just say it once, punk.
I'm sorry.
Then, why did you take so many headache pills? Because my head hurt so much.
I kept taking it because of my severe headache.
I didn't realize that I took ten.
I'm sorry.
I can't stop saying sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why are you here anyway? Did you also kill someone like I supposedly did? Yes.
How? I don't think you'd stab someone out of anger.
Was it an accident? Yes, a car accident.
I should've been more careful.
It's all my fault.
It was my mistake.
I was studying for an exam.
For what exam? The civil service exam.
I had been studying for it for over seven years, but my sister moved to Seoul too, so I had to find a place with two rooms.
That's why I worked in construction for half a year.
I could eat and sleep there.
It was a small construction company that works on contracts.
I basically lived at the site for a few months.
One day, I got a call from the company owner after my shift.
Yes, Boss.
Min-sung, I'm sorry to call you so late.
No, it's okay.
What's the matter? I'm out having drinks with our clients, but I forgot my wallet.
-Can you bring it? -Oh, I see.
I don't think the buses are running at this hour though.
Hey, I can't wait that long anyway.
Drive the truck and get here quickly.
Okay, I will.
I told you that I didn't do it.
Mr.
Min-sung Kim.
Do you have a driver's license? Yes, I do.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Where were you going this late anyway? My boss asked me to bring him his wallet.
Is he telling the truth? You punk.
How dare you lie? When did I tell you to drive it? I gave you a job and a place to sleep because I felt bad for you.
How dare you lie to my face? You told me to drive it because it was urgent.
When did I say such a thing? You punk.
You're crazy.
Stop spewing total nonsense.
I just asked you to bring my wallet.
I never told you to drive the truck.
Youngsters these days are helpless.
All they do is blame others.
You totally ruined my day.
SILENCE The victim jaywalked.
It's not entirely the driver's fault.
-They could settle.
-The settlement money will be quite a bit.
It looks like he's a student.
He must be broke.
What about the insurance? They must have insurance.
I mean, it's not a tiny company.
They don't.
They didn't get auto insurance.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
That stingy company owner didn't get any insurance for his employees.
-Gosh.
-Goodness.
Had I passed the civil service exam, that wouldn't have happened.
I worked part-time every single day and only slept for five hours to study, but still didn't pass.
If only I had passed it It's all my fault.
Right.
You should've tried harder.
I must say, you're quite incredible.
You got into Nexen as a trainee, right? That's incredible.
I heard that the competition ratio is around a hundred to one.
That's so impressive.
I did my best.
I really gave it my all.
I worked the hardest.
I worked harder than anyone else did.
OPEN TRYOUT Congratulations.
You've been selected as a Heroes trainee.
Please contact us at this number.
Why didn't I get picked? Why? Coach, Coach! Why Je-hyeok? My pitch was faster, and my control was better.
Why did he get picked, not me? Is it because he's a graduate of Gwangju Jeil High School? No, because he's a lefty.
We needed a left-handed pitcher, and he's the only lefty out of all the applicants.
But you know what? I've worked so hard all my life.
I held myself back from doing what I wanted to do and what everyone else did.
I did nothing but study.
I've really done my best.
All I did was work like a crazy person.
Why am I in this mess? I don't know what more I can do.
You should've tried harder.
You should've done your very best.
You should've worked from dawn and had like five part-time jobs.
You shouldn't have eaten.
Why would you eat? You shouldn't have slept for five hours.
Just three hours would've been enough.
Actually, you shouldn't have slept or eaten anything.
You should've studied and worked all day, every single day.
How could you have worked harder? How could you have possibly tried harder? What more could you have done? You did your very best, but you weren't given any opportunity.
So just blame the world instead.
The world should've tried harder.
The problem was that the world never gave you an opportunity.
It should do its best.
Curse and cry all you want.
Don't beat yourself up.
Okay.
Sender: Sang-min Do Receiver: Dr.
Ko Thank you.
I'll be outside.
Thank you again! Excuse me, Doctor.
Yes.
Well, he's in too much pain.
Please do something.
How can you just make him tolerate the pain? Give him some painkillers.
You need to find a way to help him.
Well, we can use laser to break the stone into smaller pieces so that they can come out through the urinary tract.
Why didn't you tell us sooner? Please do it as soon as possible.
Please follow me, then.
Okay, sure.
Gosh, seriously.
Mr.
Ko.
You must be having a hard time there.
Thanks to you, we're holding out without any losses.
I heard you can watch the news and read newspapers, so you must've heard about it.
The prosecution is targeting our company, questioning us about another contract now.
Everyone is stressed out.
Mr.
Ko, please fight for the company once again.
Will you be able to admit that you were in charge of it? Everyone at the company including me and Director Ji wants you to.
If you do that for us, we'll triple your pay.
We will also pay for your daughter's tuition so that she can study abroad.
Here.
We should delete this too.
Why would they inspect these? They are going too far.
Delete it.
Captain Na said they'll go through every single file.
I should work overnight, right? That's a given.
The inspection is tomorrow.
I have a blind date tomorrow.
I need to go to bed early and get some beauty sleep.
Dream on.
You can't leave until tomorrow morning.
-Captain Na didn't even go home yesterday.
-Why not? To plan the budget.
He's trying to rearrange the budget for training and food.
He's been racking his brains.
I envy Lieutenant Paeng.
Right? He's so lucky.
It came out in the urine, so he may leave now.
We'll leave tomorrow morning.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
Hospital food is good nowadays.
It looks good.
Thank you.
Your guard bought that from outside.
He told me not to tell you.
I'm done.
-Thank you.
-You can sit here.
I almost worked all night.
I have a favor.
What now? Get me Min-sung's file.
Who's Min-sung? You seem to have many connections.
I'm a little famous, so What do you want? I'd like to donate money.
I'd like to make a donation to the prison.
How do I do that? Why? Because I'm grateful.
I had given up on baseball, but you've let me play again, so I'm grateful.
I'm very thankful.
Is that all? Is that the only reason? No strings attached? Actually, on one condition.
Please spare me ten minutes.
It'll take only ten minutes.
Please spare ten minutes and review this.
-Is this a threat? -No.
I'm asking you a favor.
What? -Sorry.
-No.
I think I'm hearing things.
What did you say? She likes me.
That's why she agreed to the blind date.
Sorry.
I like her too.
I heard this place is good, so help yourself.
I already paid.
Joon-ho.
Come out.
I got off work.
I'll buy you a drink.
Are you sure you're off? They're still open.
My shift ended.
I'm a customer now.
-Excuse me.
-Thanks.
-You can bring us our main dishes first.
-I'll bring the soup after I serve these.
Enjoy.
Our boss said the meal is on the house.
No, no.
It's really okay.
It's okay.
Please, enjoy.
-Enjoy.
-Thanks.
Why won't they Our boss is behind you.
Why is he so handsome? Eat.
Wow.
It's bland My boss is watching.
Just eat.
He's my brother's best friend.
Please take good care of Je-hee.
The pleasure is all mine.
So, is the food okay? I just started -Yes, it's delicious.
-You're a corrections officer? -Yes.
-I told him.
-I was bragging about you.
-Bragging about what? What? It's an accomplishment.
It's not easy to become one.
Please enjoy your meal before it gets cold.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
Okay, then.
Thank you.
The soup may be salty.
Pardon? Some people say our food's bland, so I've been heavy on the seasoning.
Okay, then.
Okay.
Is your boss still standing there? Yes.
He's sort of a pain.
He's a micromanager.
-Please give me some salt.
-Just eat.
The salt is in the kitchen.
That's better.
-What are you doing? -I need to get sodium somehow.
-That's better.
-That's disgusting.
-Stop that.
-Try it.
Like this.
I told you to wrap it up.
That's enough for today.
Come on.
What's wrong with you? Why are you training so recklessly? That's enough.
-Is Je-hee doing okay? -Everyone is well except for you.
So, worry about yourself.
It's tiring, right? Yeah.
What could I do for you? Hey.
Isn't it a huge comfort, just having me by your side? No, not at all.
I'm Ji-ho Kim.
I'm leaving.
-You'll keep going, right? -Yeah.
I'll tell Officer Song to come after two hours.
-Is it good? -Yes.
You'll catch a cold.
You can stop eating.
I'm vicariously satisfied.
I'll have one more.
Stop eating.
I'm fasting.
You told me to eat them.
I told you to eat one.
I never told you to eat so many.
Whatever.
I'll eat another one.
SUMMER, 2013 AWAY-GAME IN GWANGJU It's okay, it's okay.
Sleep it off and forget it.
It's okay.
It was your first blown save.
Hey, Ji-ho.
You blew first save today! Giving up a home run would've been better.
What was that wild pitch for? The mighty Je-hyeok Kim choked.
I never saw that before.
My gosh.
I've never seen such a lame curveball in my life.
Even I could've hit it! I thought it was time for a blown save.
How could you screw up so badly, though? You intentionally threw that wild pitch, right? You really did it this time.
And stop throwing curveballs.
You suck at it.
Throw what you're good at.
Throw the fastball.
Varying up the pitches doesn't always work.
Batters aren't stupid.
They won't swing at just anything.
Are you sleeping? Go in and sleep.
Sleep tight.
Okay, bye.
-Go to your room.
-Okay.
LATE SUMMER, 2015 Three.
Four.
Fine.
Live alone like that all your life.
Never open up to anyone and keep everything to yourself.
Your future girlfriend will love you for that.
What about you? Me? I don't know.
Mom: Je-hyeok's dating? It's on the news.
Nexen's Je-hyeok Kim Dating Announcer Hye-rin Kim! JE-HYEOK The phone has been turned off.
Nexen Versus Kia.
Current Score 3:2 Will Je-hyeok Kim Become a Closer? Je-hyeok.
-Bye.
-Bye.
It's Je-hyeok.
I'm a fan.
May I get your autograph? He's so handsome.
Hey.
Drop me off on the main street.
Sure.
We have to take the back exit, not the front.
People know you're dating.
There's a mob of reporters at the main entrance.
Why? Because you're dating.
-Who is? -You, you.
Everyone knows that you're dating.
Where's your cell phone? Check it.
But Je-hyeok, is Hye-rin Kim really pretty? Who's that? Nexen Versus Kia.
Final Score 3:5 Losing Pitcher: Je-Hyeok Kim He's going to go into hiding again.
JE-HYEOK Hi, Je-hyeok.
I'm sorry I missed your calls.
I was sleeping.
So sorry.
I lied down and passed out.
Anyway, what's gotten into you? I thought you'd go into hiding because you lost.
You're okay, right? Right? It's okay.
You can do better tomorrow.
It's okay.
I'll take care of you.
I'll take care of you.
If you fail as a pitcher, I'll provide for you.
So don't worry about a thing and you just keep pitching.
Okay? Je-hyeok, so I was thinking Should we go out? Answer me before I change my mind.
I'll count to three.
One He won't come out today either.
Just leave.
He will come today.
Pardon? He gets discharged today.
Even so, he probably won't see you.
You came more than ten times.
If he wanted to see you, he would've done so already.
You must have a job and a family.
You should give up and go back.
I'm sorry.
I'll wait here for just a little bit.
Hello, sir.
Are you Captain Jung-woo Yoo's brother? Sergeant Ju? Are you Sergeant Jeong-hun Ju? Yes, I'm Sergeant Jeong-hun Ju.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for meeting me.
I heard from my brother that you were his closest friend here.
Yes.
Captain Yoo took good care of me.
There were several sergeants who looked up to him.
Right, you must be busy.
I won't take too much of your time.
This is something I received.
NIGHT DUTY LOG Is this the record of the people who were on night duty that day? The date shown here is the same as the day of the incident.
If you look here, all those that were on duty were from the same company.
Is this the actual log from that night? Yes, it is.
How do you know for sure? Because I sent it to you.
I was the one who sent you this record.
Using swear words in every sentence only makes you look ignorant.
-I'm about to do that nonsense.
-Are you coming to the farewell party? -If you look at him, -I'll see.
-he acts like a snob.
-Why are you here so early? Okay.
He's always slacking off.
He's not my type.
Hello.
Do you want to go on a date? I have a lot of time at night.
-While protesting on a rooftop -Father.
-It's a nonviolent protest -Will you be okay? I know about 3,500 people that say they're close with Je-hyeok.
He acts like he's cool about it, but I know he's jealous of him.
He pretends he doesn't care about it.
Joon-ho, I have a favor to ask you.
I don't know, but you do.
Thank you.
I'll do my best! I envy you.
It's a very efficient system.
He must be crazy.
That's crazy.
Why would he agonize over something like this? Is it the log from that night? Private Park wasn't well enough to go on the duty Caffè Americano.
I'll have Caffè Americano.
gabbyu @ Subscene
Ko had fiercely opposed to.
I knew it would cause trouble.
Mr.
Ko should have stood firm.
He's just a manager.
What can he do? Hamyoung Construction Suspicious of Embezzling Ten Billion Won This might bring the whole company down.
What do we do? Mr.
Ko, how long has it been since you joined the company? Just under 20 years, sir.
You've been here as long as our chairman has.
This matter must feel like your own problem.
Yes.
I am the company, and the company is me.
Ever since I joined the company, I never put myself first when it comes to company matters.
Is this your fifth year in the Finance Team? This is my third year.
I was in the Legal Team until 2014 when General Manager called for me.
That's when I started working in the team.
Then, how are you so good at your job? I'm flattered.
You're also responsible.
So, about this problem we're having What do you think about taking responsibility for it? Pardon? You were the one who headed this project too.
You've been in the Legal Team, so you know how the law works.
What do you think? Do you want to spearhead this? Me? But I'm only a manager.
How could I do such a Director Ji, I have full trust in Mr.
Ko.
Please do not worry.
He's familiar with the law, and he knows this project inside and out.
He'll be able to take care of it without a problem.
Yes.
Also, we wouldn't just sit and watch.
All of our lawyers will be there to defend you.
Dr.
Ko.
Put up a good fight.
Okay? Well I Hello.
Tomorrow is the trial, right? -Yes.
-Is it going well? Thanks to the company's help, I think I'm prepared.
-Thank you.
-Hey, Mr.
Ko.
I'm saying this just in case.
Even if it doesn't work out tomorrow, don't worry too much.
I just met with Director Ji.
I see.
Even if you lose the trial, the company will make sure to pay you your salary.
Thank you.
He will guarantee you a position until you retire.
Don't worry and do your best.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me.
Of course, the company should back you up.
Both I and the boss think of our staff as family.
I've never thought of them only as my colleagues.
So, don't worry about it too much and do your best.
-Got it? -Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, sir.
I passed on the message.
It's a good deal.
He can't get a retirement package anywhere else with that background.
Yes.
You don't have to worry.
Once we get the verdict, I'll make sure he doesn't appeal the decision.
Yes.
Yes, sir.
You should go to bed, sir.
Good night.
PRISON PLAYBOOK Hamyoung Construction Inflated Construction Costs Even in 2012! Isn't this Dr.
Ko's company? Jeez.
They'll be in trouble again.
What is it? Not again.
Je-hyeok, call for Lieutenant Paeng.
Goodness.
What do we do? Lieutenant Paeng! Lieutenant Paeng! Lieutenant Paeng! Hey! Lieutenant Paeng! Do I look like your friend, -you little prick? -There.
Are you okay? How many times has it been with Dr.
Ko today? How bothersome.
Have a great day.
You're always working hard.
Let's go, Lieutenant Paeng.
Are you fooling around with me? Is this a joke? I'm sorry, but it really doesn't hurt right now.
I can't say it hurts when it doesn't.
It's bearable, and it doesn't hurt right now.
I don't need to see a doctor.
I've only seen those who fake illness.
It's so refreshing to see such an honest patient.
But you seem to have chronic pain.
You need to get tested to see what's causing it.
Let's see.
I sent the papers for a temporary release, so go get a diagnosis once it's approved.
No way.
I'd live in prison if I can go out that often.
Also, there will be no temporary releases for now.
What? Why? Do you really not know what's happening around here? We have an inspection next week.
Captain Na is running amuck.
We can't use any of our budgets.
It doesn't cost much for a car or treatment.
That Captain Na That's exactly my point.
It's not even his money.
The budget is there to use.
What is he saving it for? God He's so hard to like.
I hear he wants to become an inspector in the legal team.
Now I get why he's pushed himself too hard.
He failed the bar exam for ten years until he got this job.
Of course he's not satisfied with his position.
Anyway, take good care of your wing.
If something happens during inspection, we're all dead meat.
Dr.
Ko needs to see a doctor.
He won't approve it, right? What if it turns out that he was faking it? Just don't try to do anything.
Don't do anything.
Just sit still.
I should just quit and open a real estate office like Lieutenant Lee from the woodshop did.
Wasn't he fired? He was fired for taking money from the furniture factory.
Fired, my ass.
He passed the test and left of his own accord before he was fired.
He got his severance pay too.
That poor chief kid took the fall and was transferred to Cheongsong.
Don't you have any friends? How do you not know anything? -Why you -Okay.
Chief Sim, Lieutenant Paeng.
-Yes? -Yes? If your wing and the woodshop didn't have problems, these people wouldn't be suffering like this.
If your inmates don't cause trouble, the inspection will be problem-free.
So please, let's do this right.
Even when they come, they'll look through some papers, check the fire hydrants and leave.
Why are you stressing out so much? Also, our guys didn't start trouble.
The other punks provoked them.
Leave them alone and see if our guys cause trouble.
Lieutenant Paeng, please come.
Captain Yoo is about to make trouble.
There are no CRPT officers right now, and I'm the only one here.
Something is about to happen.
The other trainees are egging him on, calling him a murderer.
I warned them to stop, but they don't give a crap about what I say.
It's not because of Captain Yoo.
Those jerks are scumbags.
Seriously, please come help Please help me.
Do you have time to kill? I don't.
But you leave me with no choice.
I want to see how you handle it and if you do it right.
I'm going because I don't trust you.
Didn't you hear me? I refuse to get training with a murdering bastard.
Okay? Focus on the class.
If you cause trouble, you may get penalized.
Look.
I want to focus on the class, but I can't focus because of this murdering bastard.
What rotten luck.
Look at him.
There he goes again.
What? Hit me, you bastard.
Hit me.
Hey.
Do you think you're still in the army? -This fucker -Gosh, please Stop it.
Don't fight.
Stop it, you bastards! Have you lost your minds? Why you I can't believe this.
Don't we have civil rights in this prison? This bastard's a murderer.
You should isolate bastards like him so that good inmates like me won't be harmed.
Shut up.
Say one more word, and you're going to the hole.
If he isn't being sent to the hole after this, what must he do to be sent to the hole? Both of you will lose mail, phone, and visitation privileges for two weeks, and will lose two behavior points.
Now, return to your cells.
I can't see anyone for two weeks just for a little scuffle? This is a violation of human rights.
So what? Should I split up your cell? Is that what you want? CELL SPLIT: SEPARATE CELLMATES No, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Please, don't split up our cell.
I finally got adjusted.
I can't go to another cell.
I'm sorry.
-I'm very sorry.
-Split up our cell.
Are you insane? You should be thankful that you're assigned there.
I don't care about my cellmates.
Split up the cells.
Do whatever you want.
I don't care about that.
Dr.
Ko, it might be appendicitis.
You shouldn't let it rupture.
You need to get surgery if your appendix ruptures.
Those bastards will kill the poor guy.
It isn't his appendix.
The appendix is on the right side.
And pain from appendicitis starts near the belly button and shifts toward the right, and causes a sharp, stabbing pain.
But Dr.
Ko's left side hurt from the start, so it isn't his appendix, but something else.
They can easily identify the cause by running a few tests, but those evil bastards Those evil people won't let him go.
Hey, Looney.
You look like you're struggling a lot lately.
Go to the store and buy a bunch of cold medicines.
He got a bunch of new stuff.
You have a lot of money.
Just use it.
I won't take cold medicine anymore.
I'll fight it.
What a good boy.
Shouldn't Han-yang be treated at a facility? I heard Gongju Penitentiary has a clinic.
How come they don't send him? If they keep druggies like Han-yang, they get a lot of funds from the government.
I see.
I bet it's a lot.
That's why those bastards keep most inmates in regular cells as long as they aren't total psychos to pocket the funds.
That's why those bastards keep most inmates in regular cells as long as they aren't total psychos to pocket the funds.
Fuck! It freaking hurts! Let go! Shit! He must be a moron.
-He's just honest.
-Honest my ass.
Thank you.
Are you okay? He says he's fine.
He says it doesn't hurt.
Why is he saying he's not sick? You can get a leave if you say it hurts.
Others lie and still get away with it.
Why are you so dumb? Did people leave the grounds like this in the past? I don't know about others, but Dr.
Ko would never do that.
That's right.
Maybe that kid would, but Dr.
Ko wouldn't lie about being sick.
Captain Na.
Can't you let Dr.
Ko go to a hospital off the grounds? The intervals of pain have been much shorter this week.
He may roll around in pain tonight.
For our sake No.
All the cellmates will vouch for him.
Please let Dr.
Ko go to the hospital.
Then let's do this.
I need a reason to send him out, so all the cellmates should submit a letter requesting Dr.
Ko's visit to the hospital.
It's like a petition.
If every single cellmate writes a handwritten, heartfelt letter for Dr.
Ko, I will permit his visit to the hospital.
I'll give you until 9:00 p.
m.
tomorrow.
Damn it.
What will you do? Don't even dream of it.
Lieutenant Paeng.
Did I get any letter today? I'm expecting a reply from Mr.
Do.
I don't know! Ask Errand Boy.
Geez.
Bro, did you bring just two cups again? What about mine? I'm not your brother.
But you're so close with Je-hyeok.
That means you're a brother to me.
Also, feel free to call me by name.
My name is Yeong-cheol Kim.
I already told you that over ten times.
Now I'm beginning to think you're purposefully ignoring me.
-Am I right? -Yes.
Section Chief Park is outside.
You'd better go in.
Time's up.
Okay, I understand.
Bro, I'd better go.
You threw over 100 already, so just finish up.
You shouldn't overdo it.
Okay.
See you.
Thank you.
No, I'm the one that's thankful.
I got to work here thanks to you.
It's such a sweet job.
-Thank you.
-Bye.
Do you become brothers with just about anyone? It's not my thing.
I just let things be.
You do what you have to do.
Hey.
Should I really try throwing with my right? -It feels light.
-Really? Try throwing just a few more.
-You got it now.
-Right? I haven't used it for a long time.
My right arm somehow got better.
Hey, get down.
Let me move this back.
This isn't even ten meters away.
Did you forget how far the mound is? No wonder you threw so well after all those years.
Move it.
It should go back at least 8m.
Pull it.
Not bad.
If that's the case Throw it.
Well, I used to be a player.
Should we test it out with others? How can this be? I finally found my calling at the age of 46.
I've wasted so many years.
Bring it, bring it.
Did you see that? I hit the major league player Je-hyeok's throw.
I hit it in one go.
Hey, can you throw me one too? Was baseball always this easy? I should have gone into baseball.
The speed is the problem.
It's not even 100km per hour right now.
What do we do? It's okay.
I'll just practice.
There is no other way except practice.
It's fine.
Once I start working on speed, it'll slowly get better.
Don't worry so much.
I didn't know there was a writing contest.
What time do we get mails tomorrow? In the morning.
I'll bring it to you right away.
It must be an important letter.
From your daughter? No.
I wrote my boss a letter because I had to ask a question.
He hasn't replied yet.
Are you talking about the asshole boss that blamed you for everything? Do you still keep in contact with them? I would have hired a killer if I were you.
-I'll wait for it.
-Okay.
Captain Yoo.
Can't you write the letter for us? It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to write it.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Jung-woo Yoo.
Even I'm writing one.
Will your fingers break if you write one? You're being such an asshole.
Who are you to swear at me? What have I done to deserve this kind of rudeness? -Watch what you say.
-What did you say? -Come here, you asshole.
-Be quiet.
The guards are still around.
Are you at a boy scout camp or something? Why not just write letters to each other? I'm sorry.
You don't have to write one.
I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how tight you guys are, but keep me out of it.
Okay? Dr.
Ko has been suffering from chronic pain for days.
Please allow him to see a doctor and get treated.
Okay.
Bye now.
-Where's the stir-fried spicy pork? -It's here.
Here you go.
-Thank you.
-You can eat it right away.
I know.
Thank you.
Enjoy the food.
-Where? -S, K, O? How do you pronounce it? Anyway, that's where the date will be.
It seemed nice from outside when I met with Je-hee Kim last time.
She told me there is a special guest room, so I booked it.
-Do you not like it there? -It's embarrassing.
-Why? -Je-hee will be there.
So? Did you tell Je-hee that I'm going on a blind date? No.
Actually, I did.
I booked it over the phone.
I asked her to find a romantic and dark spot for your blind date.
-What's up with that reaction? -What? Do you like Je-hee? It was strange when you made me take her home.
Are you crazy? It's because she's Je-hyeok's sister.
Then watch how you act.
She's someone I cherish.
Speak for yourself! The press doesn't know he's playing baseball, right? No.
Seems like it's still under wraps.
How is Je-hyeok doing at the woodshop? He won't be able to train if he becomes a chief.
Can't you take over his job at the woodshop? Go to the woodshop.
You're good with your hands.
You're a handy guy.
Let's see.
Where was the knife again? Come to the restaurant by 8:00 p.
m.
this Saturday.
Be on time! Hello, Chief.
When did you clean everything? Your hand isn't better yet.
It's the least I can do.
Everyone has to work more to fill my quota.
I'd feel worse if I didn't do this.
Also, here.
They were selling this at the greenhouse.
It's not expensive, so don't feel pressured.
I don't have much money No.
Thank you.
You allowed me to rest because I hurt my hand.
I know you asked Chief Sim to change my role to cleaning instead.
No one has been so kind to me like you.
Thank you.
It's lunchtime.
-Come and eat.
-Okay.
Gosh, really? Congratulations.
No wonder you were smiling so much.
Congrats on the parole.
When will you be released? Once the review is over, I think I'll be released in a month.
My little sister postponed her wedding to next month, so I can attend.
I'm taking a certificate exam next month.
I'll be really busy once I'm out, so I can't come visit.
Keep that in mind.
You don't have to come.
Why would you want to visit? How does the parole review work? I don't think I'm eligible for that yet.
Of course not.
It hasn't even been a year.
You need to serve at least 80 percent of the term and get a good score.
Hey.
Hey, Je-hyeok Kim.
The warden wants to see you.
See you later.
He'll probably ask for more autographs.
He committed the same offense three times.
It's likely he'll commit it again.
He won't be considered.
Okay.
This inmate doesn't get any visits nor calls.
I don't think he can establish a permanent residence upon release.
I'll take him out.
Okay.
This person hasn't fulfilled his quota.
Why are we considering him for parole? REQUEST FOR PAROLE ELIGIBILITY REVIEW MIN-SUNG KIM Min-sung Kim is the most faithful man in the woodshop.
He recently hurt his hand while using the table saw, so he missed work.
He's short just one point.
Usually, someone like that can be considered for parole.
Just one point short No.
Whether it's one point or a hundred points, he's not eligible if he doesn't meet the requirements.
If you look at the bottom and the next page, he might not have met his quota, but he got bonus points for other stuff.
The guards gave positive appraisals, and so did his colleagues.
-If you would just read it carefully -I don't have the time.
If I had that time, I'd review our budgets again.
I feel so bad for him.
He's coming.
It's Lieutenant Paeng.
Dr.
Ko.
Sir, we're doing the last security check.
We have to gather.
Hurry up.
All you have to do is be present.
Come.
Wait a minute.
I'll be back.
Coffee and water! Chul-doo, since the hot water is here, should we have a cup of coffee? Why don't you make one for each of us? Should I? Do we get mails in the afternoon? The delivery is done for the day.
For Min-chul, a pack of instant coffee.
For Dr.
Ko, a pack of instant coffee.
For Kim, a pack of instant coffee.
For Looney I want vanilla latte.
I'm craving something sweet.
Is that so? Hold on.
Just give me what you have.
You're such a weirdo.
A pack of instant coffee.
Captain Yoo, what do you want? I don't want any.
We got the water according to headcount.
What do you want? Damn it.
Dr.
Ko, are you feeling it again? Are you okay? Jung-woo Yoo.
Hurry up and write it.
I said, write it.
That's the only way for him to see a doctor.
Is it that hard for you to write a few lines? Can't you just write it for him? You're not the only one suffering in here.
You're not the only one that wants to die.
You're a fucking loser.
-Hey, watch it.
-Calm down.
-You little -Stop.
Why are you stopping him? Don't.
-Go ahead and hit me.
-Stop it.
Beating people up isn't a big deal for you, is it? -Bring your shit.
-I told you to stop.
Come on, yo! -Stop.
-Super color power! Stop it, you idiot! -Why not? -Let's have coffee.
Just have coffee.
Do you want tea? -Sit down.
-Look at you.
Handsome and all.
-Good for you, you lucky bastard.
-Sit.
Hey, I'm looking for a way.
So don't give up and hang in there.
Next.
You.
There's no time, so hurry.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
That feels good.
Yes.
I was getting teary in the shower.
Why would you get teary? I looked into it.
He has two certificates for data processing and network administration.
They give a point for each, so that will make up for what he's short on.
Also, he has great appraisals.
As long as they review his documents thoroughly, he's eligible for parole.
The problem is, there's no time to review his documents thoroughly.
Right.
Having a certificate can get you another point.
I forgot about that too.
When did you find that out? You're quite something.
I'll get in line first.
-Hurry on over.
-Yes.
DELICIOUS DRIED SQUID You must be born to be in prison.
You're enjoying yourself.
Or maybe you just don't have a brain.
I'm not enjoying myself.
Just like you, every day is upsetting for me.
But how can one live that way? It's not possible.
It's not because I like it here.
It's because I have to survive.
I won't be able to stand it otherwise.
Captain Yoo.
I know where you're coming from, but you must control your anger to overcome everything.
You won't last this way.
You can't live on.
While we're on that, stop being a pain and write that letter.
I already did.
I wrote it and gave it to Lieutenant Paeng.
Why didn't you tell me sooner? WING 2 SURVEILLANCE ROOM We're good now, right? Since they cursed at me, I wasn't going to write it, but a person's life comes first.
I should go.
Hey.
Do you want some coffee? What's wrong? Is something in there? I don't drink coffee with sugar in it.
Could I get a Caffè Americano? You're being ridiculous.
Just drink whatever I give you, you punk.
Fuck.
That little Here.
Hey.
I don't trust anyone here as this place is filled with crooks.
No one here admits what they did.
They all say it's unfair.
I don't trust you either, but I'll hear you out first anyway.
What on earth happened in your unit? SUMMER, 2016 Answer me quickly, you asshole.
This is fucking frustrating.
Get up.
Get up, you bastard.
Eat that.
-Private Jun-yeong Park.
-Eat it, you asshole.
I shouldn't hit you here.
What are you bastards doing right now? What? We can't lock him up in the guardhouse? No, they want us to release him for disciplinary training.
Sir.
I guess you don't know.
Sergeant Oh's father is Senator Tae-gu Oh.
He and our division commander went to the same high school.
-So? -Pardon me? Why the fuck does that matter? No one could touch Sergeant Oh or take disciplinary action.
He was above me, the corps leader.
He basically had the most power.
Just keep him like that.
-You startled me.
-Hey, let's switch.
Private Jun-yeong Park.
Yes, sir.
Goodness.
How much longer will he hold up? He had been treating Private Park harshly for a long time.
Private Jun-yeong Park! And everyone knew about it.
Private Jun-yeong Park.
Including the higher-ups in the unit.
That never happened.
I've never heard about it.
Jun-yeong, you must know what happened.
-Be honest with me.
-I really don't know.
It never happened.
However, not a single person came forward to speak the truth about Private Park being abused.
Four.
Five.
Six.
What's he doing? Aren't I so nice? Isn't it delicious? -Yes, sir.
-You moron.
Answer me properly, will you? How dare you spit it out? -I'm sorry, sir.
-Again.
CHOCO PIE What? Would you like to join him? One, two, three, twelve.
One, two, three, thirteen.
One, two, three, fourteen.
One, two, three -Hey.
-Thirty push-ups.
Go.
Yes, sir! One, two, three, -Didn't you hear me? -four, -Now! -five, six, seven, eight, nine Look at you You're going home in a few days.
You too, you idiot.
Pull yourself together! Private Jun-yeong Park.
Hey.
What are you glaring at? You bastard.
Have you lost your mind? But Private Park died at dawn.
You hit him during the day.
Death doesn't always immediately follow assault when you die of shock.
Sergeant Oh, that jerk, must've beaten up Private Park that night.
Some must've been on night duty.
Did you ask them? When the incident broke out, the military police investigated it, but no one testified.
WINTER, 2016 He doesn't want any visitors.
Please leave.
Okay.
After the incident, everyone in the unit was transferred elsewhere.
My brother quit his job and tried to meet the members of the unit, but no one was willing to meet him.
Could you please ask him once more? I'm sorry.
There were 11 of them excluding Jun-yeong.
All of them refused to meet with my brother.
Those bastards They showed up at court as the prosecution's witnesses, but that's all they said.
I asked them to be my witnesses as well, but they refused my request.
Not one of them came.
It's urolithiasis.
Pardon me? Urinary tract stones.
It's more painful than giving birth.
How have you been tolerating the pain? Please treat him, Doctor.
We can't perform surgery as it's less than 1cm.
You can't? He'll have to pass it by urinating.
Does he have to wait until he pees it out when he's in extreme pain? Yes.
Please make sure you drink a lot of water.
You'll have to wait until it passes naturally.
-See you later.
-Okay.
-Dr.
Ko, will you be okay? -Yes.
Goodness.
Lieutenant Paeng, may I ask you a favor? What is it? If a letter arrives for me tomorrow morning I'm really sorry, but will you be able to get it for me? -Please do it for me.
-Stop spewing nonsense.
-Who will be here, then? -I'm really sorry.
It's an important letter.
Please do it for me.
What's the letter about? -Gosh, what a hassle.
-I beg you.
Things have changed a lot.
They used to review all the letters, but they can't do so as it violates our rights, so you can tell me everything.
My wife told me that triple of my paycheck had been deposited.
May I ask what kind of changes there have been? I know how busy you are, but please write me back.
Je-hyeok, let's go now.
I'm hungry.
I'm sleepy too.
There's a bee! Right there! You idiot.
You must be terrified of bees.
I was kidding, dimwit.
Let's go.
Otherwise, we'll be here all night.
What's wrong? OFFICE OF CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER Lieutenant Han, why are you here at this hour? Oh, one of my inmates is feeling sick.
Dr.
Jang is inside, right? No, he's not.
I called the correctional physician.
He's inside.
What's the matter? Je-hyeok Kim, are you feeling ill? Well, I'll talk to you later.
I removed the stinger, so you'll be okay now.
But if it swells up more tomorrow, -come back right away.
-Okay.
Get some rest now.
I can't.
Because of that one person.
I can't.
Because of that one person.
I think he overdosed to take his own life.
He's denying it, but why else would he take ten pills at once? Lieutenant Han and I will probably have to stay up all night because of him.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Don't be.
It's okay.
-I'm sorry.
-Don't worry about it.
I'll get you some ointment.
Joon-ho.
Yes.
I want to sleep here tonight.
What? I want to sleep on a bed.
Thanks, Lieutenant Lee.
I didn't think you were this thoughtful.
I'm surprised.
The IV bag will be good for at least three hours, so you should get some sleep too.
Thanks again.
Have a good night.
Sorry for making you stay here.
Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Please don't worry about it.
He's my friend.
Oh, I heard the rumors.
People said there's a die-hard fan of yours.
It must be him.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Once is enough.
Whether you are thanking or apologizing, once is enough.
Okay.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll talk casually to you.
Yes, please.
I'd like that.
Were you trying to kill yourself? -No, no.
-Just say it once, punk.
I'm sorry.
Then, why did you take so many headache pills? Because my head hurt so much.
I kept taking it because of my severe headache.
I didn't realize that I took ten.
I'm sorry.
I can't stop saying sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why are you here anyway? Did you also kill someone like I supposedly did? Yes.
How? I don't think you'd stab someone out of anger.
Was it an accident? Yes, a car accident.
I should've been more careful.
It's all my fault.
It was my mistake.
I was studying for an exam.
For what exam? The civil service exam.
I had been studying for it for over seven years, but my sister moved to Seoul too, so I had to find a place with two rooms.
That's why I worked in construction for half a year.
I could eat and sleep there.
It was a small construction company that works on contracts.
I basically lived at the site for a few months.
One day, I got a call from the company owner after my shift.
Yes, Boss.
Min-sung, I'm sorry to call you so late.
No, it's okay.
What's the matter? I'm out having drinks with our clients, but I forgot my wallet.
-Can you bring it? -Oh, I see.
I don't think the buses are running at this hour though.
Hey, I can't wait that long anyway.
Drive the truck and get here quickly.
Okay, I will.
I told you that I didn't do it.
Mr.
Min-sung Kim.
Do you have a driver's license? Yes, I do.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Where were you going this late anyway? My boss asked me to bring him his wallet.
Is he telling the truth? You punk.
How dare you lie? When did I tell you to drive it? I gave you a job and a place to sleep because I felt bad for you.
How dare you lie to my face? You told me to drive it because it was urgent.
When did I say such a thing? You punk.
You're crazy.
Stop spewing total nonsense.
I just asked you to bring my wallet.
I never told you to drive the truck.
Youngsters these days are helpless.
All they do is blame others.
You totally ruined my day.
SILENCE The victim jaywalked.
It's not entirely the driver's fault.
-They could settle.
-The settlement money will be quite a bit.
It looks like he's a student.
He must be broke.
What about the insurance? They must have insurance.
I mean, it's not a tiny company.
They don't.
They didn't get auto insurance.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
That stingy company owner didn't get any insurance for his employees.
-Gosh.
-Goodness.
Had I passed the civil service exam, that wouldn't have happened.
I worked part-time every single day and only slept for five hours to study, but still didn't pass.
If only I had passed it It's all my fault.
Right.
You should've tried harder.
I must say, you're quite incredible.
You got into Nexen as a trainee, right? That's incredible.
I heard that the competition ratio is around a hundred to one.
That's so impressive.
I did my best.
I really gave it my all.
I worked the hardest.
I worked harder than anyone else did.
OPEN TRYOUT Congratulations.
You've been selected as a Heroes trainee.
Please contact us at this number.
Why didn't I get picked? Why? Coach, Coach! Why Je-hyeok? My pitch was faster, and my control was better.
Why did he get picked, not me? Is it because he's a graduate of Gwangju Jeil High School? No, because he's a lefty.
We needed a left-handed pitcher, and he's the only lefty out of all the applicants.
But you know what? I've worked so hard all my life.
I held myself back from doing what I wanted to do and what everyone else did.
I did nothing but study.
I've really done my best.
All I did was work like a crazy person.
Why am I in this mess? I don't know what more I can do.
You should've tried harder.
You should've done your very best.
You should've worked from dawn and had like five part-time jobs.
You shouldn't have eaten.
Why would you eat? You shouldn't have slept for five hours.
Just three hours would've been enough.
Actually, you shouldn't have slept or eaten anything.
You should've studied and worked all day, every single day.
How could you have worked harder? How could you have possibly tried harder? What more could you have done? You did your very best, but you weren't given any opportunity.
So just blame the world instead.
The world should've tried harder.
The problem was that the world never gave you an opportunity.
It should do its best.
Curse and cry all you want.
Don't beat yourself up.
Okay.
Sender: Sang-min Do Receiver: Dr.
Ko Thank you.
I'll be outside.
Thank you again! Excuse me, Doctor.
Yes.
Well, he's in too much pain.
Please do something.
How can you just make him tolerate the pain? Give him some painkillers.
You need to find a way to help him.
Well, we can use laser to break the stone into smaller pieces so that they can come out through the urinary tract.
Why didn't you tell us sooner? Please do it as soon as possible.
Please follow me, then.
Okay, sure.
Gosh, seriously.
Mr.
Ko.
You must be having a hard time there.
Thanks to you, we're holding out without any losses.
I heard you can watch the news and read newspapers, so you must've heard about it.
The prosecution is targeting our company, questioning us about another contract now.
Everyone is stressed out.
Mr.
Ko, please fight for the company once again.
Will you be able to admit that you were in charge of it? Everyone at the company including me and Director Ji wants you to.
If you do that for us, we'll triple your pay.
We will also pay for your daughter's tuition so that she can study abroad.
Here.
We should delete this too.
Why would they inspect these? They are going too far.
Delete it.
Captain Na said they'll go through every single file.
I should work overnight, right? That's a given.
The inspection is tomorrow.
I have a blind date tomorrow.
I need to go to bed early and get some beauty sleep.
Dream on.
You can't leave until tomorrow morning.
-Captain Na didn't even go home yesterday.
-Why not? To plan the budget.
He's trying to rearrange the budget for training and food.
He's been racking his brains.
I envy Lieutenant Paeng.
Right? He's so lucky.
It came out in the urine, so he may leave now.
We'll leave tomorrow morning.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
Hospital food is good nowadays.
It looks good.
Thank you.
Your guard bought that from outside.
He told me not to tell you.
I'm done.
-Thank you.
-You can sit here.
I almost worked all night.
I have a favor.
What now? Get me Min-sung's file.
Who's Min-sung? You seem to have many connections.
I'm a little famous, so What do you want? I'd like to donate money.
I'd like to make a donation to the prison.
How do I do that? Why? Because I'm grateful.
I had given up on baseball, but you've let me play again, so I'm grateful.
I'm very thankful.
Is that all? Is that the only reason? No strings attached? Actually, on one condition.
Please spare me ten minutes.
It'll take only ten minutes.
Please spare ten minutes and review this.
-Is this a threat? -No.
I'm asking you a favor.
What? -Sorry.
-No.
I think I'm hearing things.
What did you say? She likes me.
That's why she agreed to the blind date.
Sorry.
I like her too.
I heard this place is good, so help yourself.
I already paid.
Joon-ho.
Come out.
I got off work.
I'll buy you a drink.
Are you sure you're off? They're still open.
My shift ended.
I'm a customer now.
-Excuse me.
-Thanks.
-You can bring us our main dishes first.
-I'll bring the soup after I serve these.
Enjoy.
Our boss said the meal is on the house.
No, no.
It's really okay.
It's okay.
Please, enjoy.
-Enjoy.
-Thanks.
Why won't they Our boss is behind you.
Why is he so handsome? Eat.
Wow.
It's bland My boss is watching.
Just eat.
He's my brother's best friend.
Please take good care of Je-hee.
The pleasure is all mine.
So, is the food okay? I just started -Yes, it's delicious.
-You're a corrections officer? -Yes.
-I told him.
-I was bragging about you.
-Bragging about what? What? It's an accomplishment.
It's not easy to become one.
Please enjoy your meal before it gets cold.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
Okay, then.
Thank you.
The soup may be salty.
Pardon? Some people say our food's bland, so I've been heavy on the seasoning.
Okay, then.
Okay.
Is your boss still standing there? Yes.
He's sort of a pain.
He's a micromanager.
-Please give me some salt.
-Just eat.
The salt is in the kitchen.
That's better.
-What are you doing? -I need to get sodium somehow.
-That's better.
-That's disgusting.
-Stop that.
-Try it.
Like this.
I told you to wrap it up.
That's enough for today.
Come on.
What's wrong with you? Why are you training so recklessly? That's enough.
-Is Je-hee doing okay? -Everyone is well except for you.
So, worry about yourself.
It's tiring, right? Yeah.
What could I do for you? Hey.
Isn't it a huge comfort, just having me by your side? No, not at all.
I'm Ji-ho Kim.
I'm leaving.
-You'll keep going, right? -Yeah.
I'll tell Officer Song to come after two hours.
-Is it good? -Yes.
You'll catch a cold.
You can stop eating.
I'm vicariously satisfied.
I'll have one more.
Stop eating.
I'm fasting.
You told me to eat them.
I told you to eat one.
I never told you to eat so many.
Whatever.
I'll eat another one.
SUMMER, 2013 AWAY-GAME IN GWANGJU It's okay, it's okay.
Sleep it off and forget it.
It's okay.
It was your first blown save.
Hey, Ji-ho.
You blew first save today! Giving up a home run would've been better.
What was that wild pitch for? The mighty Je-hyeok Kim choked.
I never saw that before.
My gosh.
I've never seen such a lame curveball in my life.
Even I could've hit it! I thought it was time for a blown save.
How could you screw up so badly, though? You intentionally threw that wild pitch, right? You really did it this time.
And stop throwing curveballs.
You suck at it.
Throw what you're good at.
Throw the fastball.
Varying up the pitches doesn't always work.
Batters aren't stupid.
They won't swing at just anything.
Are you sleeping? Go in and sleep.
Sleep tight.
Okay, bye.
-Go to your room.
-Okay.
LATE SUMMER, 2015 Three.
Four.
Fine.
Live alone like that all your life.
Never open up to anyone and keep everything to yourself.
Your future girlfriend will love you for that.
What about you? Me? I don't know.
Mom: Je-hyeok's dating? It's on the news.
Nexen's Je-hyeok Kim Dating Announcer Hye-rin Kim! JE-HYEOK The phone has been turned off.
Nexen Versus Kia.
Current Score 3:2 Will Je-hyeok Kim Become a Closer? Je-hyeok.
-Bye.
-Bye.
It's Je-hyeok.
I'm a fan.
May I get your autograph? He's so handsome.
Hey.
Drop me off on the main street.
Sure.
We have to take the back exit, not the front.
People know you're dating.
There's a mob of reporters at the main entrance.
Why? Because you're dating.
-Who is? -You, you.
Everyone knows that you're dating.
Where's your cell phone? Check it.
But Je-hyeok, is Hye-rin Kim really pretty? Who's that? Nexen Versus Kia.
Final Score 3:5 Losing Pitcher: Je-Hyeok Kim He's going to go into hiding again.
JE-HYEOK Hi, Je-hyeok.
I'm sorry I missed your calls.
I was sleeping.
So sorry.
I lied down and passed out.
Anyway, what's gotten into you? I thought you'd go into hiding because you lost.
You're okay, right? Right? It's okay.
You can do better tomorrow.
It's okay.
I'll take care of you.
I'll take care of you.
If you fail as a pitcher, I'll provide for you.
So don't worry about a thing and you just keep pitching.
Okay? Je-hyeok, so I was thinking Should we go out? Answer me before I change my mind.
I'll count to three.
One He won't come out today either.
Just leave.
He will come today.
Pardon? He gets discharged today.
Even so, he probably won't see you.
You came more than ten times.
If he wanted to see you, he would've done so already.
You must have a job and a family.
You should give up and go back.
I'm sorry.
I'll wait here for just a little bit.
Hello, sir.
Are you Captain Jung-woo Yoo's brother? Sergeant Ju? Are you Sergeant Jeong-hun Ju? Yes, I'm Sergeant Jeong-hun Ju.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for meeting me.
I heard from my brother that you were his closest friend here.
Yes.
Captain Yoo took good care of me.
There were several sergeants who looked up to him.
Right, you must be busy.
I won't take too much of your time.
This is something I received.
NIGHT DUTY LOG Is this the record of the people who were on night duty that day? The date shown here is the same as the day of the incident.
If you look here, all those that were on duty were from the same company.
Is this the actual log from that night? Yes, it is.
How do you know for sure? Because I sent it to you.
I was the one who sent you this record.

-I'm about to do that nonsense.
-Are you coming to the farewell party? -If you look at him, -I'll see.

-Why are you here so early? Okay.
He's always slacking off.
He's not my type.
Hello.
Do you want to go on a date? I have a lot of time at night.
-While protesting on a rooftop -Father.
-It's a nonviolent protest -Will you be okay? I know about 3,500 people that say they're close with Je-hyeok.
He acts like he's cool about it, but I know he's jealous of him.
He pretends he doesn't care about it.
Joon-ho, I have a favor to ask you.
I don't know, but you do.
Thank you.
I'll do my best! I envy you.
It's a very efficient system.
He must be crazy.
That's crazy.
Why would he agonize over something like this? Is it the log from that night? Private Park wasn't well enough to go on the duty Caffè Americano.
I'll have Caffè Americano.
