Miracle in Cell No.7 Page #5

- His past is irrelevant to...

- And you? Mr. Choi?

I've always been interested in

sunken treasure ships.

- Charged on 7 accounts of fraud?

- I object!

Bringing up the witnesses' past

is irrelevant to this case.

Overruled.

Can we trust testimonies

from men who served sentences?

Look, Brother...

I mean, Prosecutor?

Is there a law...

that states testimonies from

former inmates can't be trusted?

- No, but...

- So, tell me!

Is there a law that says

folks like us always lie!

No, there isn't.

- No further examination.

- You mean questions!

We're not suspects here!

Order!

I apologize.

Defense?

Do you have another witness?

As the prosecution requests,

he has no criminal record.

Rather, he has worked

hard for the country.

I call the prison Chief

at the time to the stand.

- Let's go.

- Sure.

I am Jang Min-hwan

Chief of Security at Prison.

- One of our inmates...

- How is he?

Eating three meals a clay.

Exercising when it's time.

When it's past 9:00 p.m...

he'll probably sleep.

Commissioner?

I know it's not my place,

but please re-investigate the case.

Then, he'll walk free

after his term.

Am I wrong?

Lee Yong-go...

He's innocent, sir.

A child...

Ever lost one?

Yes, I have.

To an inmate I cherished.

Defendant?

Did you abduct the Commissioner's

daughter to get revenge?

Yes. I followed her.

Sailor Moon bag store.

Daddy! Just read what

the uncles wrote.

Read it!

Ji-young said she'd show me

a store that sells Sailor Moon bags.

So, I just followed her.

- That's it.

- Good!

Did you pull her pants off

to sexually abuse her?

Did you?

First, loosen pants

for blood circulation.

Good!

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation.

I don't remember.

Did you hit Choi Ji-young

with a brick to kill her?

No. Ji-young fell and...

- Yong-gu!

- Oh my!

When you can't remember,

what do you say?

I...

don't remember.

That's good.

- I don't remember.

- Good.

Remember...

- Happy! Happy!

- Happy, Happy Happy Mart.

That's good!

A brick fell on her head.

- Did you see it'?

- No, I didn't.

Come on, pal!

- Just pretend you know!

- That's right!

Cardie Pulmonary Resuscitation...

Yong-go!

Yes?

Do it in the morning.

Yes.

Your Honor...

lam intellectually impaired.

The scary policemen hit me.

They didn't investigate.

PETITION:

Read this over.

- What is it?

- Here.

I wrote it myself!

Pass the pens!

Don't spill on it.

Write clearly.

Sign it.

They said if I signed,

they'll send me home to Yesung.

And buy me

the Sailor Moon bag.

And so...

the written statement...

is all fabricated.

Perfect! You win!

Daddy!

Great job!

- Yong-gu!

- Yes?

Your lawyer is here to see you.

Yes?

Is this a prison

or daycare!

Anything you'd like to eat'?

I can get it for you.

Free Time!

The chocolate bar?

Yes, tasty Free Time.

You have a daughter.

Yesung?

Yes. Yesung is pretty.

- Listen to me carefully.

- Yes.

The girl's father is

the police commissioner.

Yes.

Damn...

You know! The police!

Yes, police. Very scary.

He's the leader

of the scary men!

He's totally out of it!

He could harm Yesung!

Yes.

How frustrating.

Mr. Lawyer?

Mr. Lawyer?

Here are our inmates' petitions.

These things don't really help.

Even a public lawyer

should show dedication!

It still won't lessen

his sentence.

Look!

Look at this!

Lee Yong-go is not smart enough

to write this!

Still think he's the culprit!

Think of Yesung...

and stay focused.

Yes.

I must go home.

Right.

You can go home.

Don't worry.

Got that?

Yes.

Ji-young said she knew a store

that sold the Sailor Moon bag.

So, I followed her.

But Ji-young suddenly fell.

Speak clearly to the judge.

Speak clearly.

He wanted revenge

on the Commissioner for getting hit.

So, you abducted

his daughter Ji-young, correct?

I repeat.

Did you abduct Choi Ji-young?

You must die for Yesung to live.

You get it?

You're the father.

When Ji-young resisted

sexual assault...

you killed her

with a brick, correct?

I repeat the question.

Did you strike

Choi Ji-young with a brick?

Defendant!

Answer the question.

Accept your punishment.

If not, I'll do the same

to your daughter.

Answer the question.

Yes.

When Ji-young resisted

sexual assault...

you killed her

with a brick, correct?

I repeat the question.

Did you strike

Choi Ji-young with a brick?

Did you kill her

with a brick?

- Defendant!

- Yes.

Did you kill her

with a brick?

Yes, I did.

Bastard! Think your kid

will be fine!

I'll kill your kid, too!

Ji-young!

I'll kill your kid, too!

Yes. I did it.

I did it.

Lee Yong-go!

What are you saying!

Come to your senses!

Your Honor, the defendant is

psychologically intimidated.

Order!

You're his lawyer!

Do something!

I killed her. I did.

Are you out of your mind!

You didn't kill anyone!

She died because of me.

I'm sorry.

Very sorry.

Why're you sorry!

No one apologized to you!

Why are you so sorry!

If you speak out,

you'll be ordered to leave.

Please help my Yesung.

My daughter.

- Order!

- I did it.

What are you doing!

You're a lawyer!

A lawyer can't be like this!

The police only took

the witness accounts...

and dismissed

the defendant's denials.

Lee's statement was fabricated

by force from the police.

Also!

Ji-young did not die

of the brick wound...

but an occipital injury!

That too was dismissed!

Contrary to police claims

that Lee strangled her...

her autopsy showed

no sign of strangling whatsoever!

Defense?

Give your final argument.

Your Honor.

I request for leniency.

The prosecution's demand?

The defendant admitted

to the charges.

I request the same sentence

to the defendant as the first trial.

Your Honor!

The investigation is biased.

It was only forcibly done

to establish a crime.

They dismissed the principle of

presumed innocence!

They abused the defendant's

mental disability...

and love for his daughter

to force him to give up

on everything!

The innocent defendant was

sacrificed at their convenience!

As the defendant admitted to

the charges, the trial is adjourned.

The defendant's appeal

is rejected.

The first trial's sentence stands.

Defendant Lee Yong-go

is sentenced to death.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I was wrong.

Please help Yesung.

It's my fault.

And so, I defend...

a man

wrongfully sentenced to death...

to clear defendant Lee Yong-gu's

false accusations.

That is why...

I am here today.

His wife said,

I can take piano lessons.

Piano?

The Chief has a piano

at home.

Daddy,

I'll play it for you later.

Piano? I like piano.

Daddy?

You're not a bad man, right?

- Yong-go?

- Yes.

Take care.

One, two, three!

See? Isn't cooking fun?

It'd be easier to eat out.

Yesung makes this

a special Thanksgiving.

Yesung made this pretty one.

You too, Mister.

It's from Yesung!

Hi, Daddy.

How are you?

- Is it from Yesung?

- Letter from Yesung!

Let me see!

Tada!

100! Yesung got perfect!

Good job!

Bong-sun should be a model

when she grows up.

Funny.
