Hey, that's...
That druggie bastard. I'm washing my underwear...
It must be hard. It's impressive that he reached that level of withdrawal.
Very impressive.
Is he really trying to quit? It'll be impossible.
There are people who never took drugs,
but none who take it just once.
Once you start, your life is over.
He'll have to try it in his next life.
He can't quit.
He's being treated and he's trying, so he'll be cured.
I have faith.
What treatment? They have programs like that here?
They usually send them to a clinic.
Jailbird. There's nothing this prison doesn't have.
I suddenly miss the warden.
Aren't you hot?
I'm cold.
It's a withdrawal symptom. Please understand.
Gosh.
What's with you now?
I thought it would be easier with Dr. Ko gone.
I'm sorry, it's a habit.
I like doing it, so don't mind me.
Just get treated, bastard.
It's annoying just looking at you.
I am, bastard.
Is it the drug talking or you who is saying that?
It's freaking confusing. You're alert, aren't you?
The drug wore out, right? Tell me the truth.
To tell you the truth, I don't know.
Wow. You sound the same.
You're good at imitating me. Get over here.
-What do you take me for? -Come on. He's sick.
-He's not in his right mind. -He's sick.
He's a pro at pissing people off.
Jung-woo, help him out. You're friends.
We aren't friends.
But you're the same age.
If only he didn't take drugs...
I mean, he went to a good school, he's pretty good-looking,
and his family is rich.
Why did he take drugs? What for?
I won't take drugs again.
I won't. So,
you have to come visit me once a week.
Okay?
When do you get out?
In two and a half months. It's soon.
If you don't take any drugs during that time,
I'll consider it.
You'll be there, right?
If you quit.
It's up to you.
Can't you talk more nicely?
I'm having a hard time already.
I know you turned me in.
But it's okay.
It's okay that you did that,
so go out with me again.
Okay?

PRISON PLAYBOOK
Still, I didn't think all ten teams would be interested.
Je-hyeok Kim's still got it.
The public is in his favor.
"The superstar who saved his sister from a rapist."
"The pitcher who switches arms in jail."
It's worth having him.
Sure, it's all about the story.
We're talking about the Je-hyeok Kim who was headed to the Major League Baseball.
He's in a different class.
Where do you think he'll go?
He'll contact the teams now.
Since all ten teams want him...
Wow. Competition will be fierce to scout him.
I wonder what the terms will be.
How much was Je-hyeok Kim's contract?
Hey. That would be unconscionable.
A tenth... No, even for a hundredth,
he'd want a team that will provide security.
Guaranteed first string, or maybe a multi-year contract.
He'll probably ask for that.
You know anything? You're like his stalker.
Hello.
I guess you have no games today?
You're Gocheok Gunman, right?
That's the rumor.
What do you mean? I'm a BBI.
What's a BBI?
He knows what you don't.
BBI: BASEBALL IGNORANT
Leave local news and join us.
Why are you wasting your talent there?
Come and cover sports.
You misjudged me.
Excuse me.
Does he think we're fools?
There are so many.
You have a visit today, right?
Rapist-catching Je-hyeok Kim's Comeback
You didn't even sign yet. What's wrong with them?
Don't burden yourself.
The teams will be more interested
in your role in PR than in your physical state.
It's upsetting, but sign with a good team
and show your skills.
You don't have an agent, right?
That elderly lawyer is helping you, right?
-He'll do well, right? -He's someone I trust the most.
And he isn't elderly.
He was born in 1973.
Why?
Hey.
Yeah?
How do you feel? You doing okay?
You look terrible. Are you okay?
You look exhausted.
I plan to meet with the teams this week,
so I stayed up several nights to finish up my other matters.
That's why I look like a wreck.
Okay, okay. My life isn't important at all.
Which team should I meet with first?
Hey. The ball is in our court.
Je-hyeok. Let me know if there are any terms you want.
I'll do the best I can.
Is there a signing bonus and salary that you want?
You decide the amount.
Okay.
I want to sign with a team that's good at controlling the media.
What?
The team that is the best at controlling the media,
and is close to reporters.
That's first and foremost.
Sure, sure. We need that too. That's important.
At first, your pitches won't be so great.
It'll take a while to adjust.
We want the initial coverage to be favorable.
Don't worry. I'll talk to the teams.
Joon-ho!
Joon-ho! Joon-ho! Je-hee was asked out.
What will you do? Will you get dumped before you even start?
-You stupid moron. -What?
Je-hee was asked out.
That strange restaurant,
"Bland Food," or "Salt Please," or whatever. The owner.
He asked her to watch a movie this weekend.
He knew she liked zombie movies, so he asked her to go on Saturday.
He asked her to a movie and dinner. He threw a fastball.
What will you do? What? What?
What else?
That's good. I hate zombie movies.
What do you mean, "good"? Call her right now.
Ask her to watch the movie with you. Call her.
This isn't time for noodles.
Soju?
Your heart is crushing in, right?
Look. I did my best, okay?
Grab onto Je-hee or not. It's all on you.
Thank you so much.
Please, stay out of our lives.
Did you just say, "our lives"?
-Hey. -Fine. Fine.
But anyway, where is our Je-hyeok Kim going?
I don't know.
Under what terms?
Some say he'll ask for a lot of money.
Some say he'll ask for a high salary without signing a bonus.
-Do you know anything? -No. I didn't ask.
Why not?
You're close. Why don't you know?
Why would I ask? It's his private life.
He'll take care of it.
Je-hyeok Kim and you aren't very close, are you?
You're not very close.
Do you find him intimidating too? You do, right?
You couldn't ask. You were afraid.
You're a coward. Coward.
Who keeps putting the kitchen knives away?
I need to kill that bastard and move in next to Je-hyeok. Seriously.
Where's the kitchen knife? Where is it?
Ice!
Ice here!
Ice!
Are you faking it?
Are you faking being sick, you bastard?
Don't shout so loudly, you bastard!
A broadcast shared with 50,000 inmates.
I am Min-joo Lee, your host of the Borami Broadcast.
In Professor Young-bok Shin's book "Reflections from Prison,"
which inmates read more than the Bible while in prison,
it says summers in prison are much harder than winters.
In contrast to the winter, when the others' body heat
helps you fight the cold,
in the hot summer, the person sleeping next to you
in such close proximity feels like a 37°C lump of heat.
That is why they say
-summer is the worst. -Ice.
You need ice in the summer
-Is your allergy gone? -No.
They say it'll take time, so I'll be working in the medical wing.
It's easier there.
The guards keep a close watch on the inmates.
Your skin looks good.
You look like a peach.
They gave me a bunch of medicine for my skin.
I've been taking them diligently.
But Uncle, there's a big fight behind you.
This cell is always so much fun.
I don't feel pain.
I'll teach you pain...
Although it's an annoyingly hot summer,
please, don't fight, and have a happy day.
Here is TA-Copy's "Hit and Run."
This... This is the "I love baseball" song.
They played it after every game.
I feel like
Captain Yoo's intellect keeps dropping.
He was normal when he first came.
Looney has a way of driving people nuts.
You should just stay away. It's your loss.
-Poor Jung-woo. The poor thing. -Let go.
Son of a bitch. I'm starting to lose my hair.
Don't forget the endoscopy, Saturday afternoon.
Yeah, yeah.
Is Crony back?
Tomorrow. He's back sooner than I expected.
They're putting him in the medical wing.
I'm nervous.
What happened to his hair?
Han-yang...
I thought he was weak due to the withdrawal, but he's got the spirit.
Looks like there's no need to worry.
Are you taking Han-yang's side?
Seriously. You're becoming the same as him.
Looney's cute. Why do you hate him so much?
He has everything I hate.
He's a spoiled brat with rich parents,
a druggie who can't control his urges,
and on top of that...
On top of that?
I don't want to even say it.
He even talks disrespectfully, right?
I think he's just kidding.
Is it a joke to read someone else's letter?
That's rude.
He's here just to torment me.
He enjoys nagging me.
My beard, it's...
You don't know love When you're young and immature
You know love with time
That is love, love, love
Someone who never experienced love
You shouldn't take just any drug.
You need to be careful of doping, careful of any drug.
These are for gastritis and indigestion.
The chief medical officer prescribed them.
This much is okay.
They really are only for gastritis and indigestion.
You must be under a lot of stress.
Do you feel burdened?
I have the drive, but my body can't keep up.
That's because you're trying to be the best again.
Just wing it.
Anyway, why do you and Jung-woo fight so much?
Stop bugging him.
It's fun.
Jung-woo's reactions are incredible.
He responds immediately.
It's fun teasing him.
Whose is this?
Jung-woo's.
What are you doing?
It's okay.
If Captain Yoo finds out, he'll freak out.
I need to emasculate the evidence.
Just say you ate it.
He's only an asshole to me.
And bro,
it isn't "emasculate," it's "eliminate,"
I said, "emasculate."
It's "eliminate."
It's okay.
Don't use words when you don't know its meaning. Okay?
Lieutenant Lee, will you be at the fire drill tomorrow?
Of course. Who skips that?
Somebody.
There's someone who skips each time.
Who was it? Paeng... something.
Were you badmouthing me?
No, sir. Of course not.
Won't you be at the fire drill tomorrow?
The junior guards are upset about that.
You've never done any fire drills, have you?
I don't remember seeing you.
Why don't you demonstrate for us?
What's the big deal?
Just open the doors and take the crooks out and back in.
So, please come
and show us tomorrow.
You show them.
You're good at everything.
You can demonstrate it for them.
Yes, sir. We'll take care of it.
You should go home.
Good work, sir.
Are kids these days just honest,
or do they lack manners?
I think I'll have some noodles before I go.
It's so hot.
It's hot and these fuckers are annoying.
Fire. Fire. A fire has broken out.
Please follow the guards' instructions and escape quickly.
This is a fire drill.
Come out. It's a safety training in case of a fire.
Hurry.
Fire.
Fire. It's a fire.
Hurry.
A fire has broken out.
Please follow the guards' instructions and escape quickly.
This is a fire drill.
It's so noisy. Geez. So noisy.
I saw that Crony is back.
Hey, Lieutenant Paeng.
Fire. Fire. A fire has broken out.
Please follow the guards' instructions...
What a nice life.
This is a fire drill.
It's so noisy. What is this?
Please follow the guards' instructions and escape quickly.
Even with your allergy meds?
It's still red.
This is because of the meds for my skin.
They said that it has some kind of a compound that causes the redness.
-Okay. -Hey.
Aren't the criminals in the medical wing mean?
I came because they said it'll be easy. I hope it won't be worse.
-I don't know. -Why not?
We don't take care of them.
The guards there. The guards look after them themselves.
They give them their food, water, and affection.
And they give them love.
They give them everything.
-Keep it down. -Yes, sir!
This is a fire drill.
Fire. Fire. A fire has broken out.
Please follow the guards' instructions and escape quickly.
Cell 2B5. Inmate with a stomachache.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Someone's sick. I have to go.
Rest. Just hold it up.
Hey.
I'll find someone.
Someone who was an athlete.
A normal person can't catch your ball.
Joon-ho has plans tomorrow.
What?
His hero is training this hard, but he has plans?
Lieutenant Lee... No, Joon-ho is slacking off.
He told me a while ago.
He's going with Song for his endoscopy.
Jailbird.
Where's Crony now?
He's in the medical wing.
Why?
Will you really kill him this time?
Yeah.
If you see him,
tell him to avoid me at all cost.
Tell him I'll kill him for real this time.
-You're kidding, right? -No.
Meal time!
Dinner time!
Here, Uncle. Enjoy.
Uncle.
Meal time.
Hi, Joon-ho.
-Where are you? -At the movies.
I came with my boss.
May I talk to him?
I want to say hi.
Sir.
Can you take this call?
Hey, Joon-ho.
He went to get popcorn.
He did?
Then Je-hee,
will you drop the act and come to the theater by your place by 6 p.m.?
Let's watch a movie.
Let's meet in the lobby.
You have less than an hour. Hurry up and shower.
I'll buy popcorn and wait for you there.
AUGUST 12TH SATURDAY 5:10 P.M.
Oh dear.
You want to come clean now?
You've lost your mind.
Sang-yun, let's tell the truth. It isn't too late.
That's nonsense.
I won't do it.
I refuse.
I haven't slept well a single night since that day.
Have you?
You haven't either.
Sergeant Oh killed Jun-yeong. We all saw him.
Keep it down.
Saw what? I didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything, so go talk to the others.
Why are you doing this to me?
Hi.
What took you so long? It started already.
I came right over.
I only washed my face.
Let's go.
I got the saltiest popcorn. You eat it all.
Why would you pay money to watch a zombie movie?
I just don't get it.
Stop eating popcorn,
so I can hold your hand.
But Joon-ho,
didn't you say you had to go with a junior guard for his endoscopy?
Yeah.
It's okay. I sent someone in my place.
ENDOSCOPY RECOVERY ROOM
Wake up.
It's over. It's clean.
You may come in.
Are you okay?
You did great.
Thank you.
But who are you again?
I heard earlier, but I'm a little out of it, so...
Soldiers sure are divergent.
It's "different."
He's like Dr. Ko.
Jung-woo doesn't force anything onto others though.
That's more stressful.
What a pain.
You must've been pampered in a rich family,
but you do everything.
Jung-woo, what does your dad do?
He sells stamina drink for men.
We give you stamina
Drink it for stamina
"You will last all night long."
Jung-woo, it's just two more months.
He'll get out soon.
So, what does your dad do?
Your brother is a professor and you studied abroad.
Your family must be crazy rich.
Do you live in Lotte Castle? Do you?
Or Tower Palace?
My dad does dry cleaning business.
He runs a dry cleaning business, and my mom collects clothes to wash,
hems pants, and does real estate on the side.
They're very average.
You succeeded on your own.
Wow. Both brothers are amazing.
My brother and I worked several jobs to pay for our studies.
We never asked our parents for money.
We both worked hard and went to public schools.
I was practically homeless when I studied abroad,
but I studied and got here on my own.
Yes, you got here.
To jail.
You don't look like you suffered a day in your life. You're amazing.
You can't judge people by their appearance.
For example, look at Lieutenant Paeng.
How is that the face of a corrections officer?
Then what is that the face of?
Well, based just on his face,
he totally belongs in here with the rest us.
Based on his face alone, he has 27,000 priors.
That...
Who is it? Let go!
It's the errand boy, isn't it? Let go.
You bastard! Lieutenant Paeng!
Lieutenant Paeng! Look at this bastard!
Hey! Lieutenant Paeng! Let go!
Lieutenant Paeng! Lieutenant... Lieutenant Paeng?
Lieutenant Paeng... Sorry. I'm sorry! Lieutenant Paeng, my Lord!
My Jesus! I'm sorry!
Please forgive me.
-Let go. -Hey.
Lieutenant Paeng!
-Did you see him smile just now? -Lieutenant Paeng!
That evil bastard.
At least Mr. Yong didn't write anything bad.
I thought he'd write something bad about us for screwing him over.
But he didn't write a single line about Seobu Penitentiary.
My phone should be ringing off the hook right about now.
I didn't get a single call from Switzerland either.
You didn't leak it, did you?
I hear all the teams are interested.
The timing was so good.
Why would I?
I wanted to give that as a gift to the warden
and ask him for a shoulder press.
I'm the most upset.
Shoulder press?
I'll buy it for you. How much is it? Captain Na, get it done.
No, I'll ask for something else later on.
As for that bastard Crony,
I'll move him somewhere else, so don't worry.
Seriously. Please let him train in peace. Please!
I'll do that.
Sorry?
Please get the coffee water.
Okay.
WING 2B HELPER
Crony's been quiet.
He belongs in the hole, not in the medical wing.
Je-hyeok, be careful.
He's pissed off. Who knows what he'll do?
Okay.
Hello. Are you back here now?
No. I came to hang out with you a bit.
I should've become an errand boy.
They have more freedom and free time than the guards lately.
Come and eat with us. It's soy-braised beef today.
No, it's okay. Excuse me, Je-hyeok Kim.
I got some vitamins from a close errand boy.
I wanted to give it to you.
-Me? -Yes.
Vitamins are good.
Many adult men are deficient in
calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.
It isn't bad to take vitamins in moderation.
Thank you for the thought, but I'm already taking something else.
I have prescriptions too.
And I don't take vitamins. They make me nervous.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for the thought, though.
Give me! Give me! I'll take them!
You bastard. You should give it to me first.
It's in your pocket, right? Give it.
Then I should get more.
-Give me a minute. -Hurry back with it!
Bring everything you have, got it?
He's acting strange, isn't he?
Don't eat this.
He may have put a doping substance in the food.
Only eat foods that you buy for now.
How warm.
If there's anything in it, he'll show a reaction.
His body is garbage anyway.
It doesn't matter whether he takes cold medicine
or sleeping pills with steroid in it, but not you.
Don't trust the errand boy.
Not that one or any other errand boy.
Suspect everything any errand boy gives you, and don't eat it.
He's okay.
We knew him for years.
He's fine. He's a good kid.
That's right.
Who in here is good?
Still, I've known him for a while. He wouldn't.
Hey, Jung-woo.
You shouldn't judge people purely on their appearance.
Judgment was made at the trial.
Everyone in here is a crook.
Everyone's delinquent.
What's the use in saying whether or not someone is "good"?
I'm suddenly tired.
I thought he was Dr. Ko.
Jung-woo is right.
It can't hurt to be cautious.
Just think about how you ended up here.
You have to be cautious about every little thing from now on.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT HELPER
I can't.
Je-hyeok gets suspicious and won't take random pills.
That's why you have to make him.
Do whatever it takes to get Je-hyeok Kim to take the pills.
Otherwise, I'll kill you right now.
They'll think it was suicide.
I can't. How could I do that?
I really can't. I'm sorry.
I got paid for a job today. Three million won.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT HELPER
It came into my commissary account.
I'll give that to you.
Je-hyeok, did you sign yet?
Where are you going? Nexen?
You want Nexen, right?
Let's see. Who does Nexen have?
Geon-chang Seo, Jeong-hu Lee,
Ha-seong Kim, Sang-u Cho.
No, the pronunciation is wrong. There's no one by those names.
What?
Geon-chang Seo, Jeong-hu Lee,
Ha-seong Kim, Sang-u Cho.
No, the pronunciation is wrong. There's no one by those names.
What?
Geon-chang Seo, Jeong-hu Lee,
Ha-seong Kim, Sang-u Cho. Them, they have.
You bastard.
I feel pain!
You're dead! You bastard! You bastard!
-Get over here. -Lieutenant Paeng!
You're not going anywhere.
It burns, doesn't it?
Do you have a manager or someone helping you?
-Yes. -I can't see!
-He's like a big brother.
He's a lawyer, but he's my agent too.
He'll take care of it.
What about your retrial?
What if your brother loses his job?
That's my concern too.
My brother became a professor really quickly.
Take that!
Still, both of you must've led proper lives.
You have people helping you.
I envy you.
Je-hyeok,
I have an ax in my box over there.
Get it for me.
-Okay. -Stay still.
Jung-min, you haven't gone to the school in a while.
Are they okay with that?
I've been dismissed from the school.
It's been a while.
That's not the problem.
You'll end up getting a divorce. That happens all the time.
My wife understands.
-Your wife is a saint. -Yeah.
Then work from home.
My wife and kid went to my in-laws'.
We sold the house.
I figured we'll need a lot of money going forward.
Where are you living then?
Study dorm.
-Oh, my gosh. -What do you mean?
It's not bad.
I lived in worse places when I was young.
And Min-gu,
I'm getting your help for free now
because I don't have money,
but I promise to repay you.
You must feel pressured by your firm too.
I'm sorry.
You studied too much. You're clueless about the real world.
I'm doing this for myself.
I want to use this opportunity to become the favorite lawyer in the country.
And do you know how greedy this firm is? They wouldn't take a loss.
They're not saying anything because it'll help them.
You just worry about your health and Jung-woo...
No. If you have money left over, buy Jeong-hun a meal.
He's been meeting the guys every single day.
Didn't we finish talking about that?
Don't come anymore.
You saw too.
You just have to say what you saw.
It's not like I hit him.
I'll stay out of it.
Hey. And to be totally honest,
you guys hit him too.
That's because Sergeant Oh made us.
If Sergeant Oh's crimes are revealed,
they'll excuse our lying in court.
We can get the minimum punishment.
So, let's do it. Please?
No.
I wasn't the only one there. Ask someone else.
I'm sorry.
As I said before, that is our only condition.
Controlling the reporters as well as the media.
Okay. We'll think about it.
-I need to report to the higher-ups, so... -Sure.
Thank you. Please consider it with an open mind.
Sure. The public sentiment
is swayed by the initial media coverage.
That's right.
That's why I'm asking.
You have the most reporters visit this team, right?
Yes.
That's my background,
so we have more connections with reporters than other teams do.
I understand. I'll get you an answer soon.
I hear Je-hyeok Kim is obsessed with working the media.
Who said that?
Who else? The team I cover.
They say Je-hyeok will probably sell his story.
-Really? -Yeah.
They met with Je-hyeok Kim's side for the first time today,
and all they asked was how many reporters they're close to,
and if only the stories they want can be covered.
I got the feeling that they seemed a bit irritated about it.
I can see why.
That's the shortcut.
Rather than focusing on skill, you buy the public's sympathy.
Je-hyeok Kim is in no position to be choosy.
Right?
You fucking assholes. Watch what you say.
What do you know about Je-hyeok Kim to talk shit about him?
That's what I should've said,
but I couldn't say a word.
He overcame all those hardships.
What's wrong with using the media a little? Assholes.
Had they been in an accident, had their shoulders shredded and sent off to jail,
those bastards would've given up right away.
How dare they talk crap about our hero Je-hyeok Kim?
With all that he went through, and all the injustice,
can't he say that much? Can't he?
Don't you agree?
Yeah, of course.
Of course, he can. I would too.
I totally understand.
Wing 2. Exercise.
You go to the greenhouse.
I got a message that Crony is in the yard.
Okay. Thank you.
Be patient for a few days.
Hey.
Eat.
Thank you.
Give it up, bastard.
I heard Je-hyeok Kim beat the crap out of you.
The word's out.
You're a disgrace to the gangsters.
Pathetic loser.
Want me to get rid of him?
Want me to bury Je-hyeok Kim for you?
-No, sir. -Like hell.
Look. He still has his pride.
Just say, "Yes," when he offers.
Don't cry after getting beaten up by Je-hyeok Kim again.
Gangster, my ass.
They're just lowlife thugs.
They're strong against the weak,
and if you come on strong, they whimper and shrink.
Those bastards aren't scary.
But...
why are these people...
They're my friends.
They're here because they wanted to see Je-hyeok.
Everyone's suffering because of me.
I'm a big inconvenience.
The warden did say he'd have the jerk transferred out,
but no one wants him.
Still, they can exchange one inmate for another,
so let's wait a bit.
You're not an inconvenience. Focus on your training.
You'll be signing with a team soon, too.
Je-hyeok, we're almost there.
Let's hang in there, okay?
Hey, Je-hyeok Kim!
Buy us dinner with your commissary fund once you sign with a team.
I will. I'll treat you to the most expensive chicken legs.
Nice!
What's wrong with him?
What?
I won't grow old like him.
I'm like that too. We both are.
We don't do that in front of people.
He does whatever he wants.
He seems like a good person,
but he's tacky, inside and out.
Access granted.
Like this? How do you do it?
-Like this. -Exactly.
Don't do it! It looks weird when you do it.
You can't do that simple thing?
-Like this. -What is that smell?
What's going on?
I'm not sure yet. I think there's a fire.
You "think"? What do you mean, you "think"?
Hey! Open the door!
Let me out! Help!
Lieutenant Paeng! There's a fire! Fire!
Open the door! Open the door, bastards!
-Open the door! -Let us out!
What's that sound?
Hey, Kang! What's that smoke in Wing 5A?
Security office. Check on it.
What is that sound?
Get out.
Here!
What are you doing?
This is a fire drill.
Do not be alarmed.
Please return to your respective cells.
Guards, please locate the inmates,
and please confirm the cell doors are locked.
Shit. He finally caused trouble.
Hey. If the dryer short-circuited twice,
Lieutenant Paeng would've peed his pants.
You should've seen the look on his face.
I doubted my own eyes for a moment.
All the cell doors opened at once.
Wow. I saw my life flash before my eyes.
The inmates were stunned too.
"Are they telling us to escape or not?
What do they want us to do?"
Lieutenant Paeng thought he was the best. What humiliation is this?
I'd be too ashamed to face anyone.
Please watch what you say.
He did it to avoid a disaster.
He's a colleague, and a superior. You shouldn't talk like that.
You should be supportive of him. What are you, teenagers?
How could you talk behind his back?
You should be ashamed.
What are you looking at, you bastard?
What are you to be glaring at me?
I'll gouge your eyes out. Look down, you bastard!
Get lost.
What's wrong? It's not a big deal.
It's true that Lieutenant Paeng messed up.
Can't they badmouth him a little?
I won't get mad at you, since you're a good person.
Lieutenant Paeng was traumatized.
Chief Sim made me swear not to tell anyone, but...
I heard from Chief Sim last year.
He didn't want me to make a mistake since I was his partner.
It was over ten years ago.
There was a big fire when Lieutenant Paeng was at Gyeonggi Penitentiary.
It was a huge fire. The entire wing burned down.
Many of the inmates died because the doors were locked.
He said it was all over the news.
Over 50 inmates died,
and there were numerous injured.
But only one inmate died from Lieutenant Paeng's wing.
Wait outside.
He went in and opened each door himself.
The fire was the worst in his wing, but he said
they'd burn to death before the firefighters arrived,
so he poured water on himself and ran into the fire.
One of his arms was burned badly in the fire,
from his shoulder to his wrist. It must be pretty bad.
He had like five surgeries.
Anyway, ever since then, he wears long sleeves even in the summer.
He won't wear short sleeves.
I'd show it off like a badge of honor,
and brag to everyone.
But he feels bad for the one who died.
He says he hates seeing the scar,
and is too ashamed to show others.
He said not to tell anyone.
So you have to pretend you don't know anything.
Chief Sim and I are the only ones who know.
I don't talk to Lieutenant Paeng anyway. Don't worry.
Why are you like that? Please get along.
He may look like that, but he's a good person.
I want to too.
But I just can't like him!
Why is he getting mad at me?
At least there aren't any articles yet.
You'll do something about Lieutenant Paeng, won't you?
Whether he's reprimanded or gets his pay docked, he must be disciplined.
You know how big an incident it was today, don't you?
He was afraid something terrible would happen when he saw the smoke.
It wasn't intentional...
Still, what corrections officer doesn't even check the situation
and opens all the cell doors?
Sir.
Sign something for me.
What?
I'll submit a disciplinary action toward Lieutenant Paeng soon,
for 6 months of no promotions, 30% docked pay for 3 months,
and a reprimanding.
Please sign it.
Sure, sure. We should.
I mean, we almost made the front page.
He deserves that much disciplinary action.
Don't worry. I may be soft,
but I'm tough on rules.
Also,
transfer Lieutenant Paeng to another facility.
We just agreed to discipline him.
He neglects his duties, is incompetent,
and caused more than a few incidents, both major and minor.
Why must we keep him around?
He always jokes around with the inmates.
Some even call him "brother."
Lieutenant Paeng is delinquent and emotional toward the inmates.
Transfer Lieutenant Paeng elsewhere.
No.
I won't transfer Lieutenant Paeng out.
If you don't like it, you leave.
I know you're good at your job.
Our penitentiary needs you. We can't lose you.
Without you, it would be mayhem. I know that.
However,
we need someone like Lieutenant Paeng too.
Flexibility is essential
for this place to operate properly
and Lieutenant Paeng does just that.
I'll discipline him sternly,
but don't cross the line.
Lieutenant Paeng will not be transferred.
That's all.
You were scared, right?
It's obvious you're scared you'll be disciplined.
I wasn't scared.
Why would I be? I've been here for years.
Thanks for the coffee.
It's hot.
You're so clueless.
-Ouch. -Hey. Hey.
-Coffee. Coffee. -Hey. Hey.
Would it have killed you to bring iced coffee
on this hot day? Would it?
I'm hot enough because of these long sleeves.
Straighten your back.
Shoulders down.
One. Knees in.
-Knees in. -Good.
-Straighten your back. -Straighten my back.
Knees in. Straighten your back.
Knees in. Straighten my back.
That's it. Okay. One.
-Shoulders down. -Shoulders down.
No.
Just your shoulders.
Good.
-You can do it. -Give it up.
What are you doing with someone who can't even open his eyes?
Just let him sleep, punk.
Just let me sleep. Okay?
Just let me sleep, punk.
It's alcohol water.
It's five percent. Just drink.
No. I don't drink when I'm training.
You're so strict.
Je-hee says Ji-ho's birthday is coming up.
It's your last chance.
Call her.
Forget it. It's your love life. Why am I butting in?
Do as you wish.
Call or break up for real.
Here.
FALL, 2016
The phone has been turned off. Your call is being forwarded to voicemail.
Please leave a message...
JE-HYEOK
JE-HEE
Did you talk to Je-hyeok? Is he okay?
No. He won't pick up again.
Sheesh. My brother's habit is back.
He hides whenever he blows a save.
Is it really hard on him?
Of course it is. I wouldn't want to see anyone either.
Anyway, I'll text once I hear from him.
Okay.
Nexen's Shocking Consecutive Loss, Je-Hyeok Kim's Worst Outing
Where are you? I'll comfort you, so call me.
Are you okay?
Of course.
You did very well today. Good job.
You got a win after two games.
Sorry that I'm late.
The day didn't end yet, right? Happy birthday.
Thanks.
Is this it?
Sorry for not calling for a while.
It's okay. I understand.
I love you a lot, so I understand.
Every time you lose a game, I can't reach you.
Whenever your shoulder hurts,
you make a face and won't talk all day long.
I understand it all.
But Je-hyeok,
let's break up.
Let's break up.
It just hurts my pride too much.
I wait for your call all day long.
I can't do anything.
I'm sorry, Ji-ho.
But Ji-ho, I didn't want to get you down
just because I am.
That's why.
Sorry.
Why are you worrying about me?
Let me worry about myself.
And you know that's an excuse, right?
I'm like that too.
I don't want to see anyone when I'm down.
I don't want to say anything.
But still, I think of you even at times like that.
I think about you all the time and worry about you,
but I guess you don't.
I feel too sorry for myself. I can't do it.
I can't handle it anymore.
I'm too tired.
Thanks for the cake.
Thanks.
Oh, yeah.
You know...
my birthday was yesterday.
Je-hyeok Kim, visitation.
The elderly lawyer.
Min-chul. Munrae's Kaist. Han-yang. Captain Yoo. Get to work.
Let's go.
Jung-woo, you don't have a visit today? Your brother isn't coming?
He's busy lately with my retrial.
I told him not to come for a while.
Good. Visiting you isn't important right now.
Submitting the petition for retrial is.
Are you submitting the petition this week, then?
Let's go.
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT HELPER
VOLUNTEER
The person you have reached...
Sang-yun won't even take my calls anymore.
Jeong-bin won't respond either.
I'm sure Sergeant Oh's money has reached them by now.
He bought them?
Why are you surprised? Those jerks would do much worse.
Senator Oh's election is coming up.
Should we reach out to the media first?
You keep saying dangerous things.
People still think Jung-woo is "the Demon Captain."
Be patient. We'll turn the tables on them.
It's all about timing.
With both Sang-yun and Jeong-bin,
it's taking much longer than expected.
-I'm sorry. -What do you mean?
They wouldn't even meet with me.
Getting them to even respond is a great feat.
SANG-YUN CHOI
It's Sang-yun...
SANG-YUN CHOI
It's Sang-yun. Just a minute.
Hello?
What?
Thank you so much.
Okay, I'll go to the school tomorrow.
Okay. Thank you. Thanks, Sang-yun!
Sang-yun says he'll testify.
Thank you, Lord.
Jeong-bin just texted too.
JEONG-BIN LIM
I'll testify to what I saw that night.
I'll tell it all.
He says he'll testify.
Jeong-bin will testify, too!
What's going on?
They refused all this time.
They must have at least a little bit of a conscience.
I'm sure they've felt guilty.
They must've been scared too, since it was bound to happen.
You played a big part.
Since someone who witnessed it with them is testifying,
it moved them to do the same.
Next on the news.
Senator Tae-gu Oh, who was favored to win
in the upcoming elections, has suddenly withdrawn his candidacy.
Senator Oh, who was on the National Defense Committee,
was accused of corruption and bribery of 10 billion won,
and will be unable to avoid prosecution.
His removal from office as senator
appears unavoidable.
The Jeil Party has announced
that they will expel him from their party expeditiously.
Experts opine Senator Oh's political career is over.
Meanwhile, Senator Oh
and his family are refusing to speak with the media.
CORRECTIONAL CENTER
Hello. Did you have a good visit?
Yes, hello.
-How about some coffee? -Sure.
-Here. -Thank you.
You must be very worried about Je-hyeok.
I was very worried at first,
but after hearing that you are his friend and a guard here,
I don't worry anymore.
Since I was worried, Je-hyeok said,
"Don't worry about me.
My best friend, whom I trust the most in this world,
is here with me. What is there to worry about?"
Please take good care of him.
I don't do anything.
He's stupid outside of baseball.
He's an idiot.
He isn't stupid. He just pretends to me.
That's what I thought, but he really is stupid.
Okay. I'll take good care of him.
Okay.
I hadn't seen him in a while, so...
Don't you want to ask me something?
That's all anyone asks when they see me now.
Surprisingly, you don't ask.
I was curious, but I found the answer on my own.
I'd like to ask if I'm right, though.
The truth is,
I am curious as to which team Je-hyeok signed with.
I heard rumors
that he's obsessed with manipulating the media.
I asked myself, "Why did he do it?
It couldn't be true."
And I thought about it.
Then, I knew.
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE
Je-hyeok, your visit ended early.
Do you still feel sick?
It must be stress. I'll take them for a few more days.
This wasn't your medicine.
What do you mean?
This wasn't the medicine you were taking.
You almost got caught for doping before making your return.
What is that?
This is Dexmin.
This contains chlorpheniramine maleate
and betamethasone.
Betamethasone is a steroid,
so you could be caught for doping.
Who was it?
Was it the errand boy?
That bastard...
Why would Je-hyeok be so obsessed about controlling the media?
He doesn't even like giving interviews.
I thought about it,
and there was only one answer.
It's because of Je-hee, right?
You really are his best friend.
The team that is the best at controlling the media,
and is close to reporters.
That's first and foremost.
Sure, sure. We need that too. That's important.
At first, your pitches won't be so great.
It'll take a while to adjust.
We want the initial coverage to be favorable.
Don't worry. I'll talk to the teams.
I don't care if they write negatively about me.
If I suck, what can I do?
I'll take the criticism.
Then why do you want a team that controls the media?
I want to make sure
there's nothing about my sister in any news about me.
Whether the team sweet-talks the reporters or threatens them,
I don't want any news concerning me to mention
"sister"
or "sexual assault."
I want to make sure they prevent that.
If any team can keep that promise, I don't need a signing bonus.
That's my only condition.
Please.
Sure.
Thank you.
Not at all.
Okay then, I'll wait for your call.
-Okay. Have a nice day. -You too.
Is that possible?
No. Why would we sign Je-hyeok Kim then?
We'd rather sign young, healthy guys.
Je-hyeok Kim is still one of a kind,
so he'd be awesome for PR.
You have a close reporter at KBC, right?
Drop a hint
that Je-hyeok Kim is obsessed with working the media, not his skills.
That he's trying to sell his story.
Tell the reporters that.
He needs to be attacked by the media
for him to stop saying stupid things like that.
What are you doing? Call them.
Yes, sir.
Yes. That is our only request.
Convince the reporters, beg them, or whatever it takes.
Make sure no one mentions his sister.
Please do that one thing,
then we will sign with you right away.
Sure. The public sentiment
is swayed by the initial media coverage.
That's right. That's why I'm asking.
You have the most reporters visit this team, right?
Yes.
That's my background, so we have more connections with reporters
than other teams do.
I understand. I'll get you an answer soon.
I understand, and they're right.
But that's the biggest reason for bringing Je-hyeok Kim.
If that's his sole condition,
we'll have to reconsider.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
I know.
It's not like reporters listen to the team anymore, either.
Je-hyeok.
We have a team.
Let's go to Nexen.
Ji-yeon Kim, their GM, okayed it without hesitation.
Only Ji-yeon Kim okayed it without hesitation.
You punk.
Okay, we'll do that.
I understand what you mean, and we agree.
I'll make sure not a single line is printed or said
about that in the media. I'll control the reporters.
Do you mean it?
Yes. Our GM is a woman of her word.
She's pretty powerful.
But still,
you may regret it now and then.
Je-hyeok has a nice story. Even I...
would keep him for that.
I hate drama.
Our team does not sell drama.
After I saw his video,
I concluded that he is definitely capable of making a return.
It isn't because of his story,
but his skill and potential, that we want to sign him.
What video?
Joon-ho Lee... I think he's a prison guard.
He sent us a video of Je-hyeok Kim training.
You didn't know about it?
CORRECTIONS
Stop shaking so much.
Stand still.
I'll buy dinner.
Okay. Catch.
OPEN FOLDER
JE-HYEOK KIM COMEBACK VIDEO
I confirmed Je-hyeok Kim's physical state through the video,
as well as his speed and accuracy.
I believe Je-hyeok Kim is more than capable of making a comeback.
Thank you.
No, I should be thanking you
for letting Nexen work with him again.
Yes.
I look forward to it.
Thank you.
Yes.
-Joon-ho. -Yeah?
Shall we have coffee with the warden?
What? You freak. You're not tired enough, are you?
Now that I decided on a team, I want to chat.
Still, he can't access his personal effects.
His cell phone? For a week, at that?
He cannot.
He can.
He can. Yes, he can.
Are you the warden?
I'll do as I please.
Lieutenant Lee.
Yes, sir.
I know. I heard the rumors.
You're Je-hyeok Kim's fan club president?
You take charge and bring our Je-hyeok his cell phone,
and get it back from him after a week.
Thank you, Big Brother.
-You manipulative... -My little brother gave me a big gift.
This big brother can do that much.
Okay, then. It's time for me to train...
Okay, okay. Go ahead.
Good luck.
Hi, Mr. Yong. What do you mean, "What?"
I want to give you a big present.
You always screw me over.
I'm not going to fall for it.
Come on. Je-hyeok is going to Nexen Heroes.
What? Really? Are you sure?
Of course, I'm sure. Write it right away.
Who told you? Is it a reliable source?
Who else? I heard it from my Je-hyeok...
I mean, I heard directly from Je-hyeok Kim.
Je-hyeok and I are really close.
He came to me last night and whispered it to me.
He trusts me a great deal.
Yes. Right?
Use it secretly.
It'll be a pain if you get caught.
I'll go over there.
Aren't you going to ask who I'm going to call?
Is there anyone who doesn't know?
Seriously. You're so retarded.
He's so retarded. Seriously.
Don't you dare say something stupid to Ji-ho again.
I'll get your sentence extended.
Actually, you won't say anything stupid.
Would she even take your call?
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't, you punk. Seriously.
This is retribution, punk. Retribution.
Burn it into your brain. "Retribution."
JE-HYEOK
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the tone.
-Good work today. -You too.
I'm going to check my phone for a while.
-It's so hot. -I'm so tired.
-Give me a coin. -I don't have any.
-Yes, you do. -Hello, sir.
-Hello, sir.
-I want cold water... -Did you see the article
saying Je-hyeok Kim is going to Nexen?
Really? Je-hyeok Kim is going to Nexen?
Wow. Nexen will be unstoppable next season.
Byeong-ho Park's back too.
Wow. Je-hyeok Kim is incredible.
Get me coffee.
I told you. I don't have any coins.
I heard Je-hyeok Kim is a righty now.
Will that work? Look.
-Hey, Kang. -Yes, sir.
Je-hyeok is in the greenhouse now. Do you want to go watch?
Really? May I?
The warden banned the corrections officers too.
I'm okay. Does anyone else want to go?
-Yes. -Me.
This is your only chance.
-Me. -Whatever. All of you, come.
-Yes. -Yes.
Let's go.
Don't do it.
I said not to do it. Are you nuts?
You even signed with a team.
Now that I signed with a team, that punk makes me too nervous.
-I need to end it. -End it how? You freak.
Just open the door for me.
I won't kill him. Don't worry.
Then what? What will you do to the bastard?
I can't live like this.
It's all or none. We need to end it.
Hey.
Be my catcher.
Let's play baseball together.
Next to me.
Together.
