The Manipulated (조각도시)

The Manipulated

Wake up time is 6:20 a.m.

After morning roll call, you go to breakfast.

Inmates with court hearings prepare for departure.

Everyone else goes to their assigned labor.

Exercises held in the morning and afternoon.

Cells are locked at 5:30 p.m.,

followed by evening roll call and then dinner.

Lights out at 9:00 p.m.

Remember, hot water is turned on once a week.

If you behave yourself and follow the rules,

you'll earn a Level One classification

and receive a padded jacket for the winter.

You may even be granted parole later on.

If you're going to be in here a while,

I would recommend that you take time to reflect on the choices you have made.

Next person.

When the day finally comes

for you to wear your civilian clothes again,

I hope by then you'll be a changed man.

LAWYER KIM SANGRAK

I'm a public defender.

I'm not some hotshot lawyer.

I had a chance to look over your case.

Something caught my eye.

They ruled out all other suspects from the beginning.

Everything was very calculated.

It was almost as if they were...

following the script.

I, uh...

I've never seen Chu Nayoung before.

I promise I'm not lying.

Still...

Nobody believes me at all.

I don't agree with the prosecution.

That's why I wanted to speak with you.

Please.

Please help me, sir. I'm begging you.

I'm telling you the truth. I swear, I didn't lay a finger on her!

Hmm.

Think. Is there anything

that might be able to corroborate your version of what happened?

You've had plenty of time to think it over.

Uh... Uh...

That's all right.

Try to think through it carefully.

Down to the tiniest detail.

Okay, any details.

Come to think of it, there was one thing that stood out.

And it was really concerning.

-What was it? -Well...

during the trial,

I was really out of it, so I didn't say anything.

They said they found a bracelet at the scene, right?

EXHIBIT PHOTO 2

Someone else left that.

I don't know who but it's not mine.

I mean, I've never been there before, so there's no way it could be mine.

My bracelet...

My bracelet...

It fell off in Taejin's room that night.

-Keep studying. -I stopped by.

I took a short nap at his place.

Then I went straight out for my delivery shift.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'm sure.

Then we'll need to look into that.

Do you think that now, with this proof,

they'll finally admit I didn't do it?

And that I'm actually not a killer?

We can definitely open a new angle of investigation.

Now give me the address of where your brother is staying.

I'll look into it.

Oh, and just to be safe,

don't tell anyone that we're looking into your case again.

-Understood? -Okay.

Thank you so much, sir.

I really appreciate it.

Ah!

Wait, wait. Officer!

-Officer! Please, wait! -Get in.

Get in there, you little punk!

I said get the fuck in there!

Let's go, you son of a bitch! Get in here!

Get in! On your knees, asshole!

Sit down!

How many years did you get?

Something wrong?

Hey, hey, hey. Where do you think you're going? Come here!

-Stay down and shut up. -Ah!

Where are you running off to?

Planning on locking yourself in your room or something?

Now listen up.

If you force me to repeat myself again,

I'll cut off that hand of yours

and use it as a soccer ball.

Ah!

So how many years did you get?

I... I'm in here for life.

Wow, you messed up big time, didn't ya?

What for?

Why? Are you ashamed?

Ashamed to say you raped a girl,

cut her up,

and dumped her body in the river?

I didn't.

I didn't do it.

Hey, get out of here!

Enough chit chat. Let's go!

I'll see you around.

2802.

Hey.

I hear you just met the boss.

You're really screwed now.

I heard you raped someone, right?

Did you like it?

Yeah. You liked it?

You want me to give you something you'll enjoy?

You enjoying this, huh?

Hey, why the hell aren't you answering me?

What? Can't you talk?

Look at me and I'll kill you, you little piece of shit!

These bastards always come in

and they have no respect and no manners towards their seniors.

Seriously, this son of a bitch. Shit.

LAWYER KIM SANGRAK

That's him. 3158.

KIM JINHUN

Ah.

You'd better pay me back soon.

Otherwise, the interest will keep on growing.

Eat up now!

Ah.

Do you want me to spoon feed you?

Yeah!

Hey, move. Hey.

Stop it! Quit staring at him.

That guy over there is no joke.

Damn, your face is really messed up.

That guy is Yeo Deoksu.

He's in charge here. He's got operations outside too.

When he got here, he was doing life.

But that asshole was filthy rich,

and he got it reduced to 12 years.

Hey, hey, come here.

Yeo Deoksu used to have a little sister.

But then some bastard stuck it to her and killed her.

S... Stuck it?

Stuck it to her?

What are you? Some kind of prude?

Stuck it, you know?

That's why you're here, right?

Yeo Deoksu... he's famous for tearing apart guys

who come in for that kind of thing.

Until they get out of here, it's hell.

I'll help you out, all right.

Don't worry. Come on, have some food.

Here. You like potatoes?

I'll tell you more after we eat, okay?

Hey, it's all right.

-It's okay. It's okay. Let's just talk. -Yeah. It's okay.

-We just wanna talk. -What are we doing here?

Don't worry. It's just Yeo Deoksu.

Hey, don't worry. Everything's fine.

Too bad you're on his bad side.

No. no, no.

Finally.

Hey, stay still!

Whoo!

It's been a while.

Let's stick it to him.

Stop it! Don't do this!

DEATH CERTIFICATE PARK TAEJIN

By the time I got there,

it was already too late.

Everything is too overwhelming.

STUDY WITH ME GOAL 5 HOURS

VIDEO CANNOT BE PLAYED

I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.

CHU NAYOUNG MURDER CASE

I'm coming.

Hey, you.

What are you doing?

Huh?

What are you doing here, huh?

Where you headed, huh?

Hey, wait up.

Hey! Wait up!

Taejoong.

You really learned a lot

-from following Mom around. -Hmm?

When we were younger, we learned how to do this together.

And yet why is it that my plants always die so easily?

My Hoya Lisas are already dead.

Well, that's because you're impatient, Taejin.

-You think? -Yeah.

If you keep watering them like that before the leaves dry,
