Mr. Warden is busy.

So you're suggesting organizing a

choir as a way of rehabilitation

Yes! It's good to watch but

even better to have it ourselves.

Sounds good to me, too!

It'll make a good rehabilitation program.

Officer King!

It's not appropriate to...

You think you can pull it off?

What?

Do you think you can do a good job of it?

What? A choir?

And he gave me the full authority

with organizing it.

He gave you what? You can't even sing.

I don't know. It just happened.

We've got to make it work no matter what!

Start making some sense!

But, how do you form a choir anyway?

You clueless cow...

What's wrong?

Let's sleep.

Sleep, sleep sleep!

Sweet dreams, my baby...

My sweet baby...

Give him to me.

How come he cries everytime I sing?

I really don't get it.

Everyone does except you.

White wild roses blooming

on mama's way to work

Their white petals

taste so good

I took a few in the mouth when I was hungry

while calling out 'mother, mother'...

I have a favor to ask you too.

A favor?

If I do a good job with it,

reward me with a day out.

A day out?

There has to be motivation for me too.

Oh. Of course...

Motivation is important.

Chief Bang?

Ah, yes... I guess.

So we have a deal then?

All right.

You've got yourself a deal.

Isn't is great? A choir!

Do you have to be a singer?

No! You just have to love music.

We'll practice once a week,

and if we get better,

they'll send us to perform outside.

- Is that true?

- Yes, really!

Are you crazy? You can't

promise things like that!

What if Chief Bang hears about it?

I just...

Please think before you say something!

You're such a troublemaker.

Teacher, teacher!

Teacher, teacher!

Will you let me pee?

You will lead the choir as a

teacher won't you? Please

I'm not interested.

But you used to be a music professor.

Who could be more qualified for the job?

Plus, how else will you see outside these walls before you die...

Dumbo!

How is your husband?

I told you not to call.

Stop calling me.

Darling...

How dare you call me that.

You feel like playing a mother now?

Do you have any idea what it's

like to live as a murderer's daughter?

Would you rather...

Would you rather that I die?

Dying would only make

life easy for you.

Live as long as you can.

May everyday be hell for you.

Until the end.

Hyun-joo!

Hyun-joo!

Your daughter declined to see you.

Why did you turn her down?

I wish I had someone

who would visit me.

Kids these days are such brats.

I wish I had a visitor.

Please cover for

"Law of harmony" exam.

Don't worry about anything

other than the concert.

And call me before you leave please.

I'll meet you at the airport.

Thank you.

You need a new pair of shoes.

I'll get you a pair for present.

Really?

Wait for me, darling.

Wait up!

You're such a troublemaker!

I said I can't help you!

I know nothing about choir.

- You can play the piano.

- Hardly!

Well, you know the basics,

dont you?

I was scolded by Chief Bang again!

You'll get me fired sooner or later.

That's why we need to make this work!

How can I pull it off without you?

I don't care.

I don't hear what you say.

For the sake of Min-woo please?

Take a look.

Please give it another thought

You're asking the wrong person.

- There's no-one else but you.

- This is wrong.

- I'm on death row.

- What's that got to do with music?

We'll start from tomorrow.

See you here after lunch, okay?

Jeong-hye!

Unni! Unni

[Unni:
respected older female]

Min-woo! Min-woo!

You know how stubborn she is.

She'll never change her mind.

Is there any way?

Jesus!

Why are you bugging me?

I have no part in this.

Min-woo, Min-woo, Min-woo!

Are you the new girl?

What is a pretty face

like you doing here?

Get out of the way, kiddo.

- What are you staring at, b*tch?

- Pull him back up.

What?

What the hell did you say?

F***ing b*tch!

I said pick him back up, b*tch!

Take him.

Forget about the damn thing!

A choir with scumbags like them?

Rehabilitation through music, my ass!

This is the reality.

The b*tch who got pregnant

and the b*tches who beat her up.

They're all the same.

I'll report today's incident

to the warden.

Don't ever bring up the subject again.

Not a day passed quetly

since the psycho arrived.

Why fuss over a baby that's not even hers.

Is that blood? Damn it!

Auch, my neck!

She must have many scars in her heart.

They told me she tried to kill

herself several times already.

Maybe she hopes to ask

for forgiveness with her life.

Each day must be filled with an

unbearable fear and agony

She's not the only one suffering.

She has to go back into

the world eventually.

Unlike me who will die in here.

So help her.

How?

The choir.

What's that got to do with it?

Because there is no-one else!

Just do it for the sake of

helping poor souls like her.

Teacher, teacher.

Teacher, help me.

If we succeed, they will let me

and Min-woo out for a day.

Since he was born, he has

never seen the outside world.

Help me, please.

Your attention please.

I'll introduce you to the conductor.

Teacher.

Clap!

I'm not a worthy

person for the job.

Thank you for having me. I hope this will

be an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Soon-yi is my name

But they call me Elena here

Mezzo.

Mezzo? What does that mean Unni?

Next.

Only I can see him~

Only my eyes see him~

Alto.

Matchstick factory in Incheon~

Mezzo.

What the hell is a "Mezzo"?

In human minds~

Ehera diya~

Mezzo.

Hallelujah~

Hallelujah~, Hallelujah~

Soprano.

Mezzo.

I'm too ashamed to strip

Alto.

It's a jackpot!

Jack-jack-jack-jackpot~

Alto.

- I'm soft-hearted...

- Mezzo.

A late night at Mapo Terminal~

- Shanghai, Shanghai, Shanghai

- Next.

Aren't you gonna sing?

Me?

Watch him, please.

While mama is away picking oysters

the baby stays.. Um, stays~

at home by himself~

- Alto.

- Alto?

I'm in?

Thank you.

What wrong?

It's gonna be harder than I thought.

It was only the first day.

There aren't enough strong singers.

There were a few good ones though.

We're seriously

short of sopranos.

572, Hong Jeong-hye.

An interview.

I think Chief Bang has a point.

Maybe we aren't ready for this.

There's a high risk for accident

having inmates in one place.

Forgive me sir, but everyone

makes mistakes.

I think it's too harsh if you

deny them this chance

because of their past mistakes.

It's not their past but what might

happen in the future we're worried about.

It's the negative attitude

towards rehabilitation that fails us.

Shut your mouth!

How dare you!

Calm down, calm down.

Let's not get heated up.

How about this?

We need to run a rehabilitation

program for the next 2 quarters.

I'll give you 6 months.

Let's see what happens.

But if there is no

change after 6 months,

You have to drop the choir.

Do you understand?

572!

572!

The summer's gone and all the roses falling

It's you, it's you who

must go and I who must bide~

The ranch...

Stop! Stop!
