Prison Playbook (슬기로운 감빵생활)

This is the worst.

He needs surgery. Let's send him out.

Yes, I guess so.

What's his problem?

He eats half of a ballpoint pen after every meal.

It's urgent. Take him away.

Okay.

It tastes good, right?

-Is there any pain? -It's okay.

Do this.

Like this.

Heaven was on your side.

Still, you have to be careful until we get the final results.

Okay. Thank you.

How are your cellmates? I hear they're no joke.

Penitentiaries are completely different from detention centers.

I hope nothing happens during the next ten months.

But then again, it shouldn't be too bad.

All gates, open!

CORRECTIONAL RAPID PATROL TEAM

-One, two, three, four. -One, two, three, four.

Hot water!

SEOBU PENITENTIARY

Access granted.

Water for instant noodles!

Prepare to receive it!

Water for instant noodles! Hot water!

Are you messing with me? You think we're equals, is that it?

You bastard. Can you cook noodles in this water?

Can you?

Shit.

This asshole has lost his mind.

"Shit"? You want to die, don't you?

No, sir. I'm sorry.

Then do it right, okay? Okay?

We're very sensitive about our noodles.

Hey, hey!

Just eat what you're given, okay?

Please just eat what you're given. Okay?

Seriously.

You think you're at a hotel?

Even noodles are a luxury for you.

You bastards! Give me my meds! Give me my meds!

-What's his problem? -Give me my meds!

Put your shoes on and come out.

Give me my meds, you bastards!

Please, let's have at least one quiet day, okay?

Just read a book like Kim over there.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS

Excuse me.

According to The Penal Execution and Correctional Treatment Act

of Article 10,

hot water poses a risk of burning, and thus,

it may not exceed...

-There he goes again. -About 70 degrees.

You're such a pain.

Hey, Kaist. Should we yank out his Achilles?

It's so hot.

PENAL CODE

They say it paralyzes your lumbar region. As a result, your penis won't get hard.

GENUINE REFORM

Mr. Kim.

You didn't hear that, okay?

Just stay still, like you didn't hear anything, okay?

Understood?

About what?

See? You really are quick. Super quick.

I should be careful.

Dad. Kim won't tattle, will he?

If this gets out, we're all dead.

That won't happen.

-Why not? -Je-hyeok really didn't hear us.

Enough with the crap.

Tonight is D-Day.

I wish it would pour.

If you want out, now is your chance.

We're grateful you included us.

-Don't you worry. -Our cell too.

But can we pull it off with just us?

I got us a specialist.

Our specialist engineer, Kaist. Chul-doo Kang.

He's our errand boy. He'll be our hands and feet.

The final key is Yong-shik.

Yong-shik needs to finish it for us.

Heaven must be giving us permission.

Even if we live for one day, let's live like human beings. Okay?

We go to our rooms at 5 p.m. Doors are locked at 6:30 p.m.

The revolt will happen between 7:10 and 7:15 p.m.

Lieutenant Paeng will go to the surveillance room at 7 p.m.

In one minute, he'll be snoring.

Once the errand boy hands us the paper,

we start right away. Okay?

The last is up to Yong-shik, but...

We'll have to leave that to fate.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm so nervous, it's killing me.

Just pray.

Pray for a downpour.

Pray for the sky to open up so that it rains buckets.

Pray like crazy.

That's how we can survive.

Wow. That punk really got it.

This is kind of nerve-racking.

Can you do it?

You have to, no matter what.

We won't get another chance.

You know that, right?

WING 2 SURVEILLANCE ROOM

MOZART "THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO"

What's taking that errand boy so long?

Not yet?

You can't do it? Are you kidding me?

Aren't you a technician?

We don't have time.

We'll go straight to Yong-shik.

I don't think it'll work.

How can we handle a circuit with just a single wire?

I don't think it's doable, even if it is Yong-shik.

When you give someone a job, you need to have faith.

It won't budge. What should we do?

Dad, hurry or we'll be in shit.

Lieutenant Paeng will wake up soon. What do we do?

The answer to everything is in the Bible .

PERSONAL EFFECTS

Kill...

-the bastard. -Dad.

Kill him, if you must. Just make sure you get it done.

Got it?

CELL 2A1

I got it done. Hurry!

Dad.

I guess we'll really get to take a whiff of the outside world this time.

That won't be enough.

Is everything else ready?

Why you...

It looks tasty.

You punk. If you had read the manual properly,

we wouldn't have killed Yong-shik.

Japanese.

That shithead errand boy brought the Japanese manual.

I couldn't understand a word.

That moron.

Kaist.

Switch with Dr. Ko, will you?

He needs to eat some too.

-Bowl. Bowl. -Thank you.

Dad. Him.

Hey, Je-hyeok.

Come have some noodles.

It was cooked with boiling hot water,

which you could never have in jail.

What happened to Yong-shik?

Yong-shik...

CORRECTIONAL CENTER

YONG-SHIK PARK

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Thanks for your hard work.

Eat up. It'll get soggy. Eat quickly.

-Okay. -Eat, eat.

Which noodles did this room have?

Shin Ramyun is the best noodle.

Jin Ramen?

Shin Ramyun.

Uncle, I'm going next door now.

Sure.

Next door has Chapagetti .

It's raining, and we get to eat yummy food.

Now, this is what you call life. Right?

If only we had women, it would be perfect.

Who came to visit? Your girlfriend?

Your lover?

Who was it?

It was Ji-ho Kim, right?

It was your lover. I'm right.
