Jail Breakers (2002) - full transcript

Two inmates successfully escape their prison only to find out that they are among those who'll get early release for the Korean National Liberation day. Now they have to get back into the prison in time to avoid further mayhem.

Creating new men?

What crap!

If one man has ever
left this place reformed,

they can lock me up

It doesn't make sense!

Why give murderers
and thieves

clothes, food,
and a place to stay?

Why do we stay up
guarding 'em?

Officer LEE, is something
the matter today, sir?

It's a waste of time. Look!

It's blocked off everywhere



No damn fool would be
dumb enough to try escaping!

JAIL BREAEERS

Hello?

Coming through!

Seven years ago

I had nothing to my name

Good job

But I was a model citizen

leading a good, honest life

Coming through

But then

My leg! My leg!

The day my body,
my one possession, broke down

The world turned against me
and became a living hell



I was so hungry

I could no longer tell
right from wrong

What the? You punk

What the hell do you think
you're doing?

Let go, you bastard!

Thief! Catch that thief!
Catch the thief! Get him!

So I was caught with
the bread in my mouth

Stop it, you punk

Let go!

And

Because I didn't have proper ID

I was unjustly sentenced

and thrown into prison

It was so unfair,
I couldn't bear it

Freeze!

I hated the thought of
staying even a day!

So I tried to escape

Eneel!

Let go!

With each attempt, I failed

But I never gave up

Trying and
trying again to escape

What?

You punk!

- You don't give up, do you?
- Wait!

Because of that

My one-year, two-month sentence
became two years

Then three years

Eventually, I had
an 8 year sentence

But when I was filled with despair,
hopelessness, rage and hatred

suddenly

a silver lining
of hope flashed into my life!

And it was

And it was

And it was
the Lord Jesus Christ!

The moment I accepted Him

the anger, hatred, despair

and hopelessness all vanished
like so many lies

When I met my Savior

and shed tears of repentance

the world became so beautiful

Six years have passed

No, 5 years and 10 months

It was the most peaceful
and blessed time for me

For the remainder of my days,

I'll do my best

to lead an exemplary
and honest life here

Brothers,
I ask every one of you

to fill yourself with God's
blessings, mercy and glory

I ask this with all my heart

And this, I earnestly pray

Amen

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

- How's it going?
- Not sure

Here, look

Thirty-seven, thirty-eight.
Three more

One, two

*You're leaving, so tonight

*I'll wear pink lipstick for you

- Oh, hello sir?
- Good work

- Yes, sir!
- Carry on

Are you out of your minds?
What is this?

Do I have to do
such menial work?

Officer!

- Officer!
- What?

The Independence Day amnesty
list is out, isn't it?

Not yet

It's out, but

you want to double
the delight for me, right?

It's not out yet!

- Sir!
- Sir!

What if
I don't make the list again?

Don't worry,
you've still got a chance

There's the Inauguration,
Thanksgiving, New Years, Easter

- You said that on Buddha's Day
- You little punk!

You little punk!

Is there a rule that says
you have to be let out this time?

Little bastard!
Get out!

What are you staring at?
Get out! Beat it!

Shit, these damn bastards!

Smarten up, all of you!

As I said on
my first day here

this is not a recreation center!

These are animals who gave up
the right to be human!

This isn't a place
where you just

sit around and get paid

It doesn't run on its own,
it's a penitentiary!

*For tonight

*I will wear pink lipstick

- For you I will
- You crazy bastard!

I told you not to sing!

I hate that lipstick song!

You shitty little!

Man, I need to get out of here

Two days till Independence Day
and still no word, huh?

Guess all that ass kissing

didn't get you anywhere!

Careful, man

Or you'll have hemorrhoids
on your tongue before you get out

- Ain't it funny?
- It's hilarious, boss

At least

my life doesn't revolve
around a damn spoon

What did you say?

You've got
a hell of a mouth!

Time to give
this bitch a spanking

Come on boys, get him!

Stop!

Be quiet

No fuss until
I get out of here

Get some sleep

Let's sleep.
Take out the blankets

Attention! Salute!

- Sir!
- Yes, sir!

At ease!

Cell six, morning check!

Roll call!

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight. All here!

What's this?
Smells like cigarettes!

Why's he so strict
all of a sudden?

The new chief is nitpicky

Could throw
a wrench in your plans

Too bad,
the old guy was easygoing

What are you worried about?

Six years of spooning on rock!

That's gotta suck.
That little shit!

Attention!

Start the morning calls!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
All here!

Here's an exemplary cell

What's this?

Who said you can put these up?

Take them down!
Bastards

Rip up all photos

Look at the dust

Huh? What's this?

That little shit!

You haven't learned
anything, have you?

No workout
sessions for a week!

An exemplary cell, huh?

Eeep a close watch on them

If anyone gets caught
doing anything

I'll kill him myself

- Is that clear?
- Yes, sir!

Boss, I think you need to hurry

The Tattoo's due out soon, too

Number 1862!
Come out!

How was it?
Did you enjoy solitary?

Put your shirt on straight!

Wow!

Boss, you're amazing!

You fixed it!

The old engine needed to be replaced.
I exchanged it, that's all

Boss!

Boss! Welcome back

It's over now,
return to your work

Long time no see

Life is so fuckin' unfair

Two people get in a fight

One goes into solitary,

the other struts
around like a hero

Sorry, man

But that was 'cause

you got all worked up
on your own

Watch your back

Someday soon, for sure

I'll rip your head off
and stay in here forever!

That's enough!

Number 1862.
Return to your work

I don't believe
you're reformed

Hey! Slow down, you!

Eyung-soon!

What happened?

What?

Love the hair and glasses!

You're better than
a movie star

Are you coming out on
Independence Day or not?

Well

I was set to get out
this time for sure

I got a going away party
and everything, really!

But those damn officials

They left my name off the list

Eyung-soon!

I'm getting married

We can't marry here

Wait a few more months, okay?

Not you,
with someone else!

With which bastard?

Someone who follows the law

When?

August 15th Independence Day

What's wrong with you all of sudden?
Don't you still love me?

I got sick of waiting

Shit!

It's only been two years!
It's not that long!

I'm that kind of bitch!
See ya

Eyung-soon!
Don't do this!

Eyung-soon!
Don't go!

Eyung-soon!

Shit!

Sir, let me out
on vacation, please?

What's up with you?

Or get me out for a day, please!
Shit, just for an hour!

You're not making any sense!

Stay out of this!

Hey, you! Yoo Jae-pil!
What the fuck are you doing!

Please, let me out!

Stop it! Shit! Stop!

- Snap out of it!
- Shit!

Why don't you trust me?
I'm a model inmate!

I know, okay

We treated the bastard well, but
he's crazy like the rest of 'em!

- Why can't I go? Why not?
- Okay, let go first

Let me out!
Fuck! Let me go!

You piece of shit!

You can't treat 'em nice!

No, calm down!

You should kill off shit like this!

We need to teach him a lesson!

The boss is going out

Boss, be healthy

Thanks

Wait!

Let me go with you

What's the psycho up to now?

Can I use the hole, too?

Anyone else but you

That's not fair!

The answer is no!

We spent years in here together

Think of all we've been through

We're practically brothers!

Let go!

Please take me with you!

My mom's in intensive care!

Never!

Then I'll make sure
you don't go quietly

Guys, make sure he's quiet

Dammit!

What? The senators will be
coming out here?

That's right They were scheduled for
Wonju but I got them to come here

- Why?
- Why?

This is why
you weren't promoted

You lack intelligence!

Think about it

Impressing the senators
on their visit

could do wonders for your career

It's your chance to show
them what you've got!

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Boss!

Hey, con-artist!

If you want out,
follow me

Move away

Come down quickly! Hurry!

Wow, good digging!
This is awesome!

You did all this with a spoon?

Took me six fuckin' years!

- Wow! Six years!
- Shit!

At first it was a work of art, but
as you go on it turns to crap

- Hurry up, go!
- My leg! My leg!

These stones!
Thought you'd keep 'em around?

My leg! My leg!!

You keep quiet or else

Couldn't you dig this wider?
It's a tunnel for stinking worms!

Just wait, it gets wider up ahead

I thought you were tunneling
some subway these 6 years

You asshole!
You idiot!

Wait! Stop!

When we get out,
you're dead!

Just hurry up, go!

Is your mother really sick?

She died 10 years ago

I knew it, you bastard!

You're the worst scum there is
Selling out your mama like that

Get your butt off my face!

What are you doing!
Get going!

Shit!

We're stuck!

If we dig a little, it gets wider
I'll dig and send it back to you

You should have dug it right
in the first place! Shit!

Shit! So this is
why you brought me

Shut up!

If we don't dig through,

you and I are both dead!

You're so dead
when we get out!

Argh! Get through!
We're through!

An opening!
We made it!

It's going to collapse!

What the shit! Shit!

Go, quickly!

Hurry up! Shit! Hurry!

Putting on a show, are you?

Thinking of staying
like that until dawn?

We gotta get out of here now.
Let's go!

Go where?

What do you mean, where?
Don't you have a place to go?

The reason behind
your escape, man!

My goal was just to get out,
that's all

- No revenge on anyone?
- Of course not

No hidden treasure anywhere?

Not that I know of

Why'd you escape?

- Because I had to come out
- Then Why'd you escape?

- Because I had to come out
- So what are you going to do?

Got to think about that now

You crazy mother fucker!

I thought you had some grand

purpose behind all that digging!

Why'd you come out?

You're no fucking Robin Hood!

Hurry!

Hurry!

The train stopped running

Hey, the bus!

It stopped way before this

Shit!

- How long did you dig?
- Six years

You stupid ass!

If I were you, I'd have
used the time to prepare!

Car, clothes, fake ID! That's how
you make a real escape!

All you did was
dig that goddamned hole!

- Shit!
- Taxi, taxi!

It's all because you had no plan,

so we have to keep
breaking the law!

Can't you just shut up
and go quietly?

See how much money there is

There's really a lot!

- Coins, too!
- You keep the coins, man

Let's switch up ahead, okay?

Actually, I can't drive.
You do it

Except for digging shitty holes,
you can't do a damn thing!

You fucking idiots!

Hey, man! Get up!
We're here

Let's split up here

Get out of the car

- Why are you shouting at me!
- Go, just go

Wait a sec

Why did you really come out?

What would you like?

A lighter, please

- How much?
- 1800 won

Here's the change

It's been awhile, my friend

So good to see you!

Independence Day Amnesty

Make sure they're all counted

Do the order and
stock numbers match up?

- Is everything OE?
- Yes

How much is this?

You can just have it.
Go ahead

I have money!

Here, for two

You shithead!

What are we gonna do now!

Are you crazy?

Yeah, I'm crazy! My life is over!
It's your fault!

Let go!

Look at this! Look!

YOO Jae-pil(35), CHOI Mu-suk(34)

Oh, shit!

This can't be happening

It's so fucking unfair!

- Oh, fuck!
- Oh, fuck!

Sir!

What happened?

Sir, here it is!

No!

They can't escape

What were you doing?

And you call yourself an officer?

This isn't my fault!
It's your problem!

But, sir!

- Is this it?
- Yes, I think it is

This is it! We found it!

Why didn't you tell them
they were pardoned?

I was so busy

with the new chief and all

I was going to tell the fools today!

Who could imagine it?

Amnesty?
Pardoned? Shit!

What are the guards for?

How can you not
notice two guys escaping!

They tunneled under the walls

How could we stop that?

We don't have x-ray vision!

What was your security team
doing while they dug the hole?

- What?
- Back, sir

What happened?

The middle is caved in

It's probably because of
the rain last night

Idiots! Maybe they were
buried under there last night

That can't be.
No! There's no way!

- What are you saying?
- Sir!

We found an exit past the sewers

We can see where they crawled out

So lucky they're alive

Lucky?

They could've walked out
of here tomorrow!

Idiots!

You were all in on this!

Send them all into solitary!

- Yes Take them away
- Yes, sir

No, no!
First interrogate them

- And find out what happened!
- Yes, sir!

Wait!

I know!
I know everything!

Boss and I are like one

So no need to worry.
I know where he is

Why did you stop?

Hey, man!
What are you doing?

Can't trust you

I won't run away,
take this off!

Take it off, please!

- Hello?
- Why can't you do your jobs right?

- Who is this?
- I'm the one who crawled out of there

You fucking idiots!

Why didn't you tell us we were
getting out on Independence Day!

I was going to, today

Why not earlier!

If you did, none of
this crazy shit would've happened!

What are you going to do?

How are you going to solve this?

Just get back here right away!

If you come back, I'll make sure
no one knows what happened

So please come back, huh?

You promise?

I swear on my job

If you're setting us up,
you're dead!

I'm about to get fired
so get back now!

Okay, we'll be there soon

I'm not going

Wait What?

I'm not going!

Why not?

I have something to do today

Fine

One's staying and I'm going in

- Why?
- He's got something to do

Stop joking, both of you
get back in here!

He's busy today

It's no use if
both of you don't come!

No matter what happens,
come back, together!

I feel like giving up and

killing myself, but I won't

You know why?

Because what I wanted
wasn't just a tunnel

It was freedom

Escaping, or getting amnesty,

either way it's still freedom!

So let's go back

I beg you, give me the chance
to experience real freedom

We gotta go back!

It's no use! I can't go back

They said both or nothing

I can't

Hey, do you want to die?

Beat me up! I still won't go

Let's go back, please?
I beg you

No way

Why the hell can't you?
Tell me!

No way

Stupid toads

Some piece of work.
Damn fools

How does your hair
stay put like that?

Expensively.
Don't touch it!

- So uptight about your hair
- Look here!

- Not cleaned up yet?
- Almost done, sir!

- Finished, sir!
- Clear this up

and wear this.
Hurry and put this on!

- What?
- Change your clothes!

- Just a little more here
- Why do we have to do this?

Go change, now!

Chief! Chief!

Why is this room so loud?

To let our model inmates
have some freedom

They should do better than this

- Open this door
- Sir?

Unlock it! Now!

What's with their hair?

Shit!

I don't believe this

This one even uses hair gel!

To let them feel
more freedom here

Why not allow them to dye
their hair and make it curly!

We'll fix it right away, sir

Take them away and
shave off the hair

Shit!

It's not a cell,
it's a pig sty!

Why are these senators coming

so soon without prior notice, sir?

Do I have to tell you
everything in advance, huh?

Oh, dammit!

Sir, it's time for their breakfast
so they can start on their day

We've got bigger problems here.
They can wait for their meal

Get them to clean every corner

We've got important visitors coming

Eyung-soon!

That silly girl

- Eyung-soon!
- What?

Where are you going so early?

We're getting my wedding dress
and his tuxedo today

- You must be so happy!
- You!

- You bitch! You're dead!
- Honey!

How did you get out?
Mommy!

Break it off! End it, now!

Are you crazy?

Yeah, I am!

Who is this?

We die today!
You and I both!

What? Who is this?

Stay out of this! Fuck!

- What are you doing?
- Move away

- Put that down!
- Move away or you die!

- Put it down!
- Wanna die, man?

- No! So put it down and let's talk!
- Oh, dammit!

What is this?

Honey!

Don't move!

You're talking to me?
Freeze! Don't move!

Stop!

He's my ex-boyfriend

What?

Oh, damn!

Eyung-soon never took the
opportunity to tell me about you

I understand you

We've got a situation here,
don't we?

What kind of man
wouldn't get angry?

Wouldn't be a man
if he didn't, huh?

Sweetie, could you get
us some soju? Now!

Soju in broad daylight?

Men drink in situations like this

Aren't I right?

You slurp it
all down yourself!

And I'm not an ex-boyfriend!

- That little shit!
- Oh, honey!

Shit!

If it wasn't for you,
he'd be in jail!

Coming here like that

Little bastard

You said I was your first love!

- Shit!
- Get in

Shit, get going!

I took her off the streets, gave her
the world and this is the thanks I get!

- I said, let's go!
- The hell with love!

- Sure don't last forever!
- Let's go, man

- And why'd he have to be a cop?
- Let's go, man!

- You stupid bitch!
- Go!

- Stupid bitch!
- Go!

- You bitch!
- Ahh!

That's right.
It's all over, man

Focus on going back.
It'll be okay

Shut up!
It ain't over!

Shit!

*Only for tonight

*I'll wear pink lipstick for you

*It won't rub off of your heart

*When I put my kiss mark on you

*As you are leaving

*I look in your sad eyes

*And tear drops wet my face

*Then wet my pink lipstick

- Eyung-soon! Honey!
- What?

Come here!

Wanna hook up?

We're living together now!

Not that!
Let's really get married

I'll give up being a con-artist

I'll be a good citizen from now on!
How about it?

You're putting me on, right?

Think I'm a liar?

Here, look

Oh! What is it?

- Yoo Jae-Pil!
- What's this?

You did it again, didn't you!

No, I'm innocent!

I don't believe this!
How could you do this to me!

Wait for me!
I won't be long! Wait!

- Honey!
- I'm coming

Let go, man!

- Honey
- *Tonight, I'll wear

*Pink lipstick for you

*It won't rub off of your heart

*Pink lipstick

*Pink lipstickfuck!

Dammit!

What are you doing?

- Turn around
- I can't go!

- Red light! Stop! Shit!
- I can't give her up!

Turn the car around!

Han Eyung-soon!

Come out,
Han Eyung-soon!

- Where is she?
- She's not here

Of course not.
She isn't stupid

- Let's go
- Shut up! Where is she?

She went to get her
wedding dress with her fiance

The dress?
Those mother fuckers!

Hurry up! Nothing's ready yet!
So disorganized!

- Are these all the cars?
- Pardon?

This is the only place
worth showing

and there's nothing to show!

Fill it up and make it look
like something!

Get rid of the junk!

I told you! Told you!

They were here, right?

I knew they'd be here!

Rehabilitation is important!

One new skill per person!

What's wrong, sir?

Something's missing here

Sir?

It looks so gloomy

That ugly wall color

- That ugly wall color has to go!
- Hello?

I found them

They were here

I found them?

Yes, at Yoo Jae-pil's
girlfriend's workplace

They said they'd come back,

so you get back too!

Get back here, now!

No, wait!

follow them and make sure

they don't get caught
by the police

If they're caught,
I'll have your head!

Yes, sir!

Don't let me down

My child is sick

Are you kidding me?

Change everything!

New paint!

Plant some trees and flowers!

We can't show
it to them like this!

What'll they think of me!

How do I look?

Pretty

Pretty enough to have
a train of guys after you!

Do you want to
try on your tux?

Yeah, go try it on

Sure, why not,
I'm the groom

Han Eyung-soon!

Oh, it's you!

Honey

If you tell me to die,

I will I'll do anything for you!

Honey! Honey!

Honey!

Hey, Mister!

What's going on down there?

That shit!

Eyung-soon!

Stop, you bastards! Stop!

Eyung-soon!

The fuckin' ex!!!!

Why'd he have to be a cop?

Can't we just get rid of him?

We can't get rid of a man
who protects our nation

Birds of a feather flock together.
You cops are all the same!

- This is abduction!
- You be quiet!

Don't act up again or else!

What the hell are you doing!
Leave her alone!

You want to die?
Why'd you hit her?

She won't sit still

Don't do us any favors

Don't cry, babe!
I'm sorry

Stop it!

There's no way you're getting off,
so be good and sit still

- Stop telling me what to do!
- Shut up!

One peep out of you
and you're dead, got it?

Look, you!

You touch my gal

and I'll kill you!

Shut the hell up!

If anyone messes with me
getting back, they're dead!

I always do what I say!

For six fucking years,
I dug a tunnel with a spoon

Remember?

Start driving!

Drive like there's
no tomorrow, man!

Shit!

I can't take it anymore!

Shit! Fuck this shit!

Wrap it up and
go for lunch, guys!

- Get up and let's go!
- Stop!

Everybody stop!

Now we'll begin painting
and making a garden

We don't have much time. Let's go.
Get working right away!

- Hurry, hurry
- Move! Move!

Hurry! Move! Move!

- Hurry
- Move! Move!

Sir? What about us?

You go with them
and start working

But we're guards,
not convicts!

Hey, why'd you stop?

We can't take
her around in that

Stay here,
I'll be right back

Hey!

Shit!

No funny business, got it?

You saw how mean I can be

Oh, of course

What is that?

Shit

- Hello!
- What?

You fuckers!
Come back with my taxi!

- Shit
- You wanna go to jail?

We just got out
from there, man!

What? Because of you shitheads,
I'll get fired!

- Just wait a little longer
- Until when?

- My taxi isn't a rental car!
- I'll get it to you

Shit!

Damn it!

Shit!

Stop right there!

Stop!

When I get you,
you're so dead!

I'll catch you!

Think you can run away from me?

My dress

I told you not to go!

Damn it!

My head, my head!

Even though you got out ofjail,
no one's going to welcome you!

- Where did they go?
- What? Who are you?

- Where did they go?
- You shut up!

- What did you do to her?
- Look at the rabbit I caught

Eyung-soon, Eyung-soon!

Honey

Are you okay?
What happened?

I don't know let go!

You hit her, didn't you?

Who hit who?

My head shit!
Just get in!

Change into this

Honey, let me go back

He's not a normal cop.
He'll hunt you down!

- So don't marry him
- I can't do that!

Why not?
You can't betray him?

But you can betray me?

Don't be screaming in my ears.
Just take her along

Then the wedding will
be called off anyway

What is this guy anyway?

Ask him yourself!

Who the hell are you?

One of

the Independence Day
