A female inmate may apply to raise her infant

within the premises of a prison. The Superintendant

of the institution must allow it unless there is any...

... reasons for disqualification,

until the child reaches the age

of 18 months.

Keep breathing!

Push!

Is it out yet?

Any minute now!

One more push! One more!

Big breath and push!

Just one push away!

Come on!

It's coming now!

It's coming! It's coming!

You've been saying that

for the last hour!

It's really here!

- One more push!

- Don't lie!

No, really!

One last push!

Push!

Here it really comes!

Ms Hong,

It's a boy

Congratulations!

Congratulations! It's a boy.

Good for you!

Careful, careful, careful!

- Where have you been?

- Sorry!

All right.

Good.

Nice one.

- Here.

- What's that?!

You want to eat some

grass, is that it?

- I'm sorry

- Why?

She gave me a grass ring.

What the hell is this?

I didn't have time.

You...

We are going to celebrate Minwoo's

first birthday party...

- ... and you are not interested

- No, that's not it.

Hey! Keep it down.

Will half an hour do?

- Yes.

- Go.

- What are you looking at?

- Move!

Bunch of slow wits.

- You can have the ring.

- Yes, yes.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you...

I told you not to sing

in front of him.

Who upset you?

Your voice terrifies him.

How can a human voice

sound like that?

Mystery, mystery.

1, 2 ,3, 4...

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Min-woo.

Happy birthday to you.

Blow out the candle.

There's a good boy!

- Grab the pencil!

- You like the red one, don't you?

- Grab the money!

- No, this one sweetheart!

- Pencil for brain.

- Think of practicality!

Who put the handcuffs there?!

She said anything i had.

But how could you put

handcuffs on the table?

Maybe our dear boy will become

a judge or a prosecuter.

Good for you darling!

Yes! Become a good prosecuter

and put away all the

bad people in jail.

Hey! What the..?!

Kimchi! Smile!

- Not bad!

- Look at my belly.

Get changed! Quickly!

- Where's my shirt?

- That's mine!

I wondered where all the flowers

from the garden had gone to.

Cell 5, room check.

Everyone, step outside.

Turn around.

Who brought this in here?

I did ma'am.

- Are you out of your mind?

- I'm sorry.

Chief Bang, I'm sorry,

it was my fault.

I bothered Officer Kong

because it was my son's birthday.

572! Are you on a picnic?

Are you upset?

You shouldn't have committed a crime

if you didn't want to put up with this.

Isn't that right?

It's Min-woo's birthday and

we just wanted to celebrate.

Who told you to keep a

baby in a place like this.

That's a little harsh, Chief.

I have my eyes on you.

Especially you, 572.

There is no special treatment

for mothers, you got that?

Follow me!

Don't be upset.

You know what she's like.

But she didn't have

to rip up the picture.

She's acting jealous

because she can't have kids.

But still...

Dancing Prison:

Phillipino inmates dance routine

But seriously...

... Is my singing voice really that bad?

Are you silly?

No... But Min-woo cries

everytime I sing.

I think you're overreacting.

No!

Really! Look.

Sweet dream my baby...

My sweet...

You see what I'm saying?

What's gotten into her?

Min-woo!

Isn't mommy good?

We also could benefit

from a program like this!

Learn to sing, and exercise!

How did a spirited b*tch

like her kill someone?

Trust me it's not so hard in

the heat of the moment...

hey, really! Cut it out

We have a new girl.

Are you hungry? Wanna play? What?

Hey you!

On your feet!

Who said you could sit there, huh?

Who are you to not make

a proper introduction?

Leave me alone if you're not gonna kill me.

Don't be horrible.

She's only so young.

And watch the language!

You're in front of a child.

Unni, obviously she didn't learn

any manners in school.

What good is manners in here?

Just leave her alone.

But still Unni!

What the hell!

Take him.

Don't cry sweetheart.

You're raising a baby in prison?

What?

It will be a good memory for him.

B*tch.

Jeong-hye!

Yeon-sil!

Call the guards!

Guard! Guard!

Good lord.

Ms. Hong

We have medical records on

your husband's mental health.

We can't help you, if you

keep your mouth shut.

You have to tell us what happened!

I took you under my wings

a worthless orphan.

How dare you go behind my back?

Why were you not picking up the phone?

Did you dodge, b*tch?

You got pregnant so you could

f*** around freely didn't you?

- Calm down!

- Let go!

Stop it!

F*** you! I want to die!

Don't f***ing get in my way!

- Please don't do this!

- Let go!

Stay still.

Hold still!

I'll kill you, you little...!

Yumi-ya?

Yumi, is that you?

What have you done?

What have you done?

What have you done to him?

What have you done to him?

She's a wounded soul.

She killed her stepfather after

being sexually abused for years.

Her term got reduced by 10 years

But she continuously tried to

commit suicide before coming here.

By the way..

... Min-woo almost didn't eat anything

all day without his mom.

He only has 6 more months.

- Really?

- yeah.

What a monster!

How could one do such a

thing to his own daughter.

Those bastards should all be castrated.

What the hell?

821. One love letter for you.

It's not like that.

He's just a pen pal.

Look at her blush!

A girl is a girl.

Nothing for me?

- Here. Quickly.

- What is this?

Your husband sent a

recordable teddy bear.

It's not allowed but no-one

knows that it's a voice recorder.

Oh, my babies

Are you crying? Again?

Let's have some watermelon.

Crazy cow.

Don't read my letter.

This is his picture.

Isn't he handsome?

He looks like a good man.

How did you meet him?

He doesn't know she's in prison.

And she sen't him someone

else's picture.

She's been receiving his

letters to Officer King's address.

He works in Saudi Arabia and

has been conned for 3 years.

Hey...

You'll give me a headlock

and break my neck too?

I know you're a pro-wrestler

but I never heard of someone

who broke a neck with a headlock.

Cut it out.

-You're really something.

- Have another one.

Look at him.

He's giving her a hug.

Are you giving her a hug for the pain?

Stubborn b*tch.

Come here sweetheart.

Don't get mixed up with that b*tch.

Did you? yes? Really?

Hello?

Sweetheart

It's me.

I wrote several letters...

You got the wrong number.

Baby, please.

I beg you.

Please...

How can a human voice sound like that?

Isn't that just amazing?

You've got a voice too.

Of course! Your voice is far

more amazing than theirs.

Look at how big you have gotten!

Yes, yes.

You look exactly like your mother.

- Hello

- Let's go to mommy.

Is it easy enough for

you to raise him here?

Yes. Thanks to the officers.

If there is anything, let me know.

Not a difficulty...

but I do have a suggestion.

what? A choir?

It crossed my mind while

watching the performance.

You know the life here is quite boring.

Jeong-hye...
