Paris Orly Airport
Ma'am
Way Back Home
April, 2004
You made a wrong turn, mister
Honey, can you pass the scanner?
Scanner?
I crushed a spider
Can you hurry UP?
Maybe you should ask Mundo to come tomorrow instead
But why?
They say killing a spider in the morning brings bad luck to your guests
He hasn't visited us in years Besides, he's no guest to us
He's right I'm no guest to you
Mundo!
Hola!
How you have been, man?
It's been so long Jeongyeon?
Long time
This is the real stuff
So, Suriname's where you've been for the last 3 years?
That's right Did you really find gold?
It's nothing big yet
A friggin' gold mine! That's incredible
Where exactly is Suriname?
Between the US and South America
Once I'm settled down, I'll send you airline tickets
Get outta here
We finally get to travel abroad thanks to Mundo?
That's the least I can do for you two
You need to get away from work from time to time
And you will let me tag along when you go, right?
Hey, over here What smells so good?
Come and sit down, Sujae
Man, I thought you were dead
It's a long story
What happened to you? You look terrible
It would have been a long story, too if it wasn't for Jongbae
I swear, until the day I die, I'll never forget...
Just pour me a drink What?
Let's drink. Salud!
Cheers Help yourselves
6 months later
Ow!
Keep still I'm trying to make you pretty
But my skull hurts if you pull too hard
Skull?
Where did you learn such a word?
From daddy
Did you say your skull hurts in front of Hyerin?
What are you talking about?
You're acting funny
Don't be silly
Didn't Sujae call?
No. Why?
He's not returning my calls
See you later, honey Bye bye. Mommy
I'll come in right after I clean up
ls everything alright?
You look as if you haven't eaten in days
I was in the neighborhood and had a sudden craving for your food
Sorry... I just stopped by for a bite
22:40, a male body found
hanging from a tree with a suicide note and a bag
Request identification
The private loan that the deceased owed amounted to $600,000
$200,000 of which you stood as a guarantor
200 grand? That's bullshit
I stood surety for just 50,000
He said he needed it for 3 months How was I supposed to say no?
You stood surety for 200 grand?
No, for 50,000
How can interest pile up so quickly?
I hate you, mommy
Don't throw her stuff out
Where are we gonna put them?
It's no use crying over it There's nothing you can do
Hey What's up?
Hey, Mundo
- Did you have trouble finding your way here? - No, the bus stopped right in front
This is the man I look up to like a big brother and his wife
And this is mi amor, my girlfriend
Hi, I'm Lee Suji
4,000 bucks?
So, all I gotta do is to bring in the rough stones you excavate
That's right
4 grand for just 3 days going back and forth to Paris?
What do you say?
I'm in. All you gotta do is to bring back a bag
Mundo has great connections with the customs people
Something doesn't smell right
If you get caught, you just pay customs
If not, it's 'gracias'
Why do customs a favor?
You just have to pay customs if you get caught?
That's right Honey
Can't you see that Mundo is trying to help us out?
Don't
Don't you even think about it
I said I'd give it a thought not that I'd do it
What's the difference?
Listening to your friends never did you any good
Just drop it, will you?
Perfect
Are you home?
Yes
You're really trying my patience
I'll pay you real soon
When? You've been living off your rent deposit for months
Just a few days more, I'm so sorry It won't happen again
I've been sticking it out because I felt sorry for you
This house will find a new tenant in no time
Are you a little kid? Did you commit a crime?
'This'll never happen again?'
It's not like we ran off with her money We said we'd pay her
With what money?
What money?
Hey, Mundo! It's me
Honey
Let's do this When do we start?
What? You should've told me that it was a job for a woman
My wife? Forget it
She doesn't even have a passport
What's the matter with you?
I said I'd take care of it, alright?
If only you discussed things with me...
Would you have said yes?
God damn it
I'm such a fucking loser that I dragged you into this shit hole
I'm such a stupid fuck that lost everything you saved up
and got you humiliated by the fucking landlady
I can't believe you're still trying to prove you're right
Sujae's dead You think he wanted to do this to me?
Where are you going?
It's okay, honey Mommy and daddy aren't fighting
Here
Mommy, how come daddy hasn't come home?
He didn't come home yesterday and yesterday
I didn't get to see Seungah
You miss your friend and want to go back to kindergarten?
Yeah
Okay But only if you eat your breakfast
Mundo?
It's me, Jongbae's wife
Mommy This one's nice Come here
It's a pink bunny, your favorite
Hi. Here's 2 dollars
Hyefin
Mommy, when are you coming home?
Just three nights and mommy will come home with a lot of money
I'll buy you the doll you wanted Really?
Yes! So, be a good girl and don't fight with Seungah
Promise?
Princess, your hands are as cold as ice
Mommy, I'm cold
Why didn't you say so? I'll give a piggy back ride
Shall we sing the Tomato song?
Wonderfully plump body
Dressed in red
Letting off a sweet and sour scent
Here comes the magnificent Mr. Tomato
I will turn myself into juice! Gulp!
I will turn myself into ketchup! Squirt!
I will dance all day long! Hey!
Hyerin, dad's home
Going away for a few days Don't look for me
I left Hyerin at Seungah's place
Going away?
30-Oct-04
Ma'am

You see? Cocaine No
There are people waiting for me outside Also in Guyana
People... Guyana... No, please!
People...
Outside the airport...
Suji!
What happened to Mundo?
He ran off on his own
Did you give us up?
I had no choice They said it was all cocaine
So, she was carrying 120 million dollar worth of cocaine on your behalf?
You've got it all wrong
It was supposed to be rough stones Seo Mundo said it was just stones
So we just gotta catch this Seo Mundo
and he'll testify that your wife was just an accessory
But I can't get hold of him
Where the hell is my wife now?
You should inquire at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We need a urine sample
Sorry?
A housewife from Korea was caught trafficking drugs
for the international 'Cali Cartel' drug ring
And you're the husband
Daddy's going to the toilet real quick
Hey!
Do it here Excuse me?
Do it here where we can see
It's no use if you put water in it
But how can I...?
Use that corner over there
A sample of your hair, too
Daddy, what are you doing?
Get back to your seat
- What are you doing? - Go away But why?
I said go away
Mommy
Ms. Lee must leave France immediately
What about me?
As a suspect in flagrante delicto, you'll face trial
Sorry for leaving without you Suji
Please... I had no idea it was drugs
I'm just a housewife and I have a little girl
Can I make a call to Korea? My husband doesn't know that I'm here
Narcotics offenders are prohibited from making calls
Then, can you call my husband for me?
I gotta at least let him know that I'm here
As a fellow Korean, I am begging you
I work for the French Public Prosecutors' Office
Write a letter when you get to prison
What a disgrace!
Hyeﬂn". What's mommy gonna do?
Honey, what am I gonna do?
What a national disgrace!
How can she not have known?
Alright... Ciao
What do they say?
The Embassy is looking into it as we speak
Give them a call after a few days
These ignorant fools who know nothing about diplomacy
These ignorant fools who know nothing about diplomacy Korean Embassy in Par/s
babble away as they please and expect use to pick up their shit Korean Embassy in Paris
babble away as they please and expect us to pick up their shit
Absolutely right
About the woman arrested at Orly for smuggling drugs...
Drugs? At Orly? When did that happen?
I thought you might like to pay her a visit
Can't you deal with that sort of stuff?
Yes, sir
Fresnes Prison, Paris
- Ms Song Jeongyeon? - Yes
My name is Chu Daeyun I'm from the Korean Embassy
Thank you so much for coming
This is a document confirming you've been lawfully arrested
and there was no wrongful treatment
Sign here, please
What's going to happen to me now? How long will I be held here?
You see, I don't know any French...
Shameful as I am to say this but I am innocent
If I knew it was drugs, I never would've done it
Yes, I'm sure This is from the Embassy
Alright then
I'm so sorry but can you let me make a call?
I've been here more than twenty days now
Drug offenders aren't allowed calls It's the rule here
Please, I beg you I'll be quick
Just one minute
Please!
The number you have called is currently engaged...
I'll pay the rest in installments
Hyeﬂn?
I know but I'm all that she's got
I guess he's not available I'm sorry
The number you have dialed is switched off Please try again later
Hey, Mundo. Call me I can't believe this is happening
Please call back
- Hello? - What took you so long to answer?
Is that... you?
Where are you? What the hell happened?
You're asking me?
How can you have gone there without telling me?
Where's Hyerin? Ls she asking for me?
Is she with you?
Hold on She's in the car
How can you leave a 4-year-old alone in the car?
What's wrong with you?
Honey, please hurry I'm almost there
Suji is deported to Korea
What? She's released?
Yeah... and I have to wait 4 months to get trial
Why the hell did you go there without telling me?
Why did you guarantee a loan without telling me?
Honey?
Ma'am, your 3 minute's up
I'm here, I'm here
- Please! Just 10 seconds more - I'm almost there
Hyerin! It's mommy
- Hyerin? Please just a second - Your time's up
It's mommy, baby Mommy?
Honey?
Wait! Honey?
Please help me!
Hello? Are you there?
Song Jeongyeon!
You have Lee Suji?
Look at me You know me, don't you?
How come you're here when my wife's still held in France?
We're in the middle of interrogation Please step outside
Where is Mundo? That fucking bastard
Hey, I said we're in the middle of interrogation
Get out of here
You gotta catch that bastard to clear my wife of her charges
He tricked her into committing a felony. Can't you see that, damn it?
Kim Jongbae!
Who do you think you are to run amok here?
You're married to a felon
Fly your ass over to Suriname and nab the bastard yourself
If you have a goddamn problem with the judicial system
I'm terribly sorry I'm just so frustrated...
I'll wait for you to finish Then, have a chat with her
Seo Mundo is wanted for pulling a pyramid scam
The detectives told me
I thought you've been friends for years Shouldn't you have known better?
I know
Do you know a guy called Ha Taegwang?
They're like best buddies Think they were in pyramid scam, too
Yes, I met Ms Song in person She seemed to be doing okay
This is an advanced country Prison facility is as good as hotel
But it takes 4 months to be tried in court?
You know how slow the French are Or don't you?
What should I be doing here?
Get a lawyer That'll definitely speed things up
and affect the decision positively
We'll continue our communication with the prison
Focus on getting the money for the lawyer
How much should I be looking at?
Perhaps around 10,000 ~ 20,000?
It could be more if the trial drags on
if you can't afford one, France has an excellent public defence system
I'll call you back
Was that her husband?
He must be pretty agitated with the wife locked up in prison
Why did he make her do such a thing? What a loser!
If we present a petition and the ambassador gets involved,
we may be able to get her indictment without detention
Shouldn't we report this to the ambassador?
To the ambassador?
If she gets indictment without detention,
she becomes our responsibility
We mustn't waste taxpayers' money like that
She did carry drugs for a fact
I guess she's in for a rough ride
Hey! Excuse me
Hey!
Come out here for a second
ls this a fucking joke?
- The number you have dialed... - Damn you
Sweetie
3 months later
3 months later Hi honey, hope you're well I'm doing okay

Sorry

And I saw the same brand of cigars that Mundo gave me
Bring in Ha Taegwang and you'll get a lead
Just hear me out

What's the matter?
He wants to tip me off about
some Ha Taegwang character playing detective
Did you say Ha Taegwang? He's on the wanted list

Something does smell fishy It does, right?
And the place was shut down?
I checked it myself
- Put out the word on him - Yes, boss
Let's go
You're coming with us?
Of course, I am
Hello?
I haven't heard from you in a while You said these were important
Hi, darling How is everything?
How is my little girl?
I've been transferred to an island called Martinique
They said I would get my trial in 4 months
I don't understand how I ended up here
It was so cold in Paris but this is a tropical island
It's so hot and humid that I can't sleep or eat
All I can do is think about you and Hyerin
Aren't you on night shift tonight?
Hey, can you find this Martin... place?
Martinique... Ducos? This is from your wife?
So, find it
The Embassy people came once and haven't replied to my letters
In Paris, they gave me work to do
but there is nothing to do here
And the days go terribly slowly
You need money for everything here even for some salt
I have to buy stamps to send letters I feel terrible asking you this
but I really need some money I know you're struggling as you are
Can you send me a picture of Hyerin? Some summer clothes and underwear, too?
Don't forget the French dictionary
And please show Hyerin my pictures
so she won't forget my face
Show her the video from our wedding Please do, honey
It's on the opposite side of the planet from us
It's an island in the middle of the Caribbean
It's far
Super express, please
Martinique... Ducos Prison?
Yes
International postal money order take more than 20 days
If you go through the Embassy, they can process it directly
Thank you for calling the Korean Embassy The office is now close
Operating hours are from 9 am to 5 pm...
Who called in that joker?
He was begging so badly and I felt sorry
I'm more sorry for your sorry ass
Chief?
Is that... Kim Jongbae?
Where is Mundo?
Calm down, man
Who the hell are you, motherfuckers?
Motherfuckers? Did you call me a motherfucker?
How dare you, you fucking bastard!
Don't move
Get out of there
Who the hell are you?
Get him out of here
Where is Mundo?
How did you know this was Seo Mundo's hideout?
You told me to bring in Seo
It was me that gave you information about Ha Taegwang
We've been keeping a tap on it all along
Who the hell are you?
I'm a friend of his from hometown
I tagged along to give him support
Civilians shouldn't interfere with police business like this
Since this is classified information Bear with us for a while longer
Classified Information, my ass
That's fucking classic
Go fuck yourself
I guess this is it for us
I wish you wealth and happiness
It always rains when the Indians perform a rain dance.
You know why?
Because they don't fucking stop until the rain falls
like fucking bullheads
Martinique
How did she end up there?
I have no idea She doesn't understand either
I'll look into it and get back to you
Wait!
Shouldn't you know about it before anyone?
How are we supposed to know details like that?
Fine... Can I at least ask you to process a money wire to the prison?
They tell me it's faster if I go through the Embassy
You think our job is to provide convenience for criminals?
What would taxpayers say if they found out?
She can't do anything without money
Please show leniency
You think a public servant is there to run personal errands?
Still on the phone? Where's assemblymen's schedule?
How many Michelin stars is this place rated by?
Oh, that one?
It's a popular place
What if they ask?
They might think it's a restaurant with no Michelin stars
I'll check right away, sir
This could be a big break For you and I, you know?
Given that the principal offender Seo Mundo has yet to be arrested
for this court to be able to proceed with the trial of the defendant
I hereby extend the provisional detention of Song Jeongyeon
by another 4 months
Does the Korean Embassy have any intention to provide an interpreter?
Apologies, your honor. I placed a request but they haven't responded
Excuse me
Hello?
Yes?
Why... I, here?
I... Paris... now, Martinique... Why?
It's because the jurisdiction is in Martinique
Before we are able to have a proper trial,
we'll receive a review of legality of confinement every 4 months
Drug-related offenses can get up to 24 months without trial
Kim, we got Sea Mundo
How can you do this to me and call yourself a human being?
Get off me for Christ's sake!
What's your problem?
She asked me to give her the job What?
She's in deep shit because of you Do right by her
Come here, you fucking bastard
- Kim Jongbae! - You, son of a bitch!
Calm down This is obstruction of justice
Don't mess with him until the trial ends
You need a favorable testimony from him to get your wife off the hook
I'm so sorry, Mundo
Please help me save Jeongyeon
My daughter hasn't seen her mom in 6 months
Just tell them that she had no knowledge of the drugs
I beg you, please
Please, Mundo
Dear Mr. Consul
I finally met the judge after getting transferred to Martinique
but I couldn't understand anything because there was no interpreter
I know this is a far and remote place
but is there any way you can find an interpreter?
Yellow face
I thought your Embassy didn't have anyone who spoke your language
You wrote them again?
This is against the rules I'm confiscating them
I have no panties Give me please
Confiscated
Subedit By: SharePirate.Com
Hello, baby?
My darling, Jeongyeon
Hyerin and I are doing great She is well, too
Things are going well
You have nothing to worry about but yourself
You go through so much for meeting a foolish husband
I blame myself for everything that happened
It's all my fault
Let's not give up and believe that it'll work out
You trust me, don't you?
I couldn't find your underwear so, I bought some new ones
I suppose Hyerin has grown a lot
I can't ever pay her back for what I've done to her and you
Please send me some recent pictures of Hyerin
Get moving, will ya?
If I... don't make it back for her birthday
Please take care of it for me
Take her to an amusement park if you can afford it
Daddy
My baby
Hyerin, it's me, mommy Are you being a good girl?
Mommy is studying hard so that she can come home sooner
Can you promise to be a good girl?
Be happy and strong for me
I'm so sorry I had to come so far
I'm really sorry
One, two...
Come on, give me a smile
I'm the drug-trafficker's husband
Martinique! I looked into it
Your wife loaded the drugs at Guyana
That's why the jurisdiction is in Martinique
I already know that
Can you provide an interpreter?
An interpreter?
There isn't a single Korean living there
Should we send one from Paris? It's 9 hours away
And who's gonna cover the expenses?
Ls there any way that the Embassy can cover it?
It's your responsibility We don't have the budget for that
What is it that the Embassy does, then?
It's not my job to explain that to you
I've really got to go
What did he say?
He says there isn't a single Korean living there
How the hell did she end up in a place like that?
Shall I look up on the internet?
The Embassy already said there's no Korean living there
Do you know about a Korean housewife looked away in prison
in a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic?
The lives of her family are ruined
<I? July29, 2005 Seoul District Court Park Sangcheol, Lee Suji and Song Jeongyeon
have all denied connection to the drugs at the time of their arrest
Were they aware of the drugs when departing from Guyana?
Sangcheol knew about it, your honor
What about Song Jeongyeon and Lee Suji?
They had no idea
Mr. Prosecutor
I'm Song Jeongyeon's husband
What is going to happen to my wife now?
Ask the Korean Embassy in France
But they don't make a habit of explaining things
Mr. Prosecutor
The trial records will be sent over to the Korean Embassy in France
Once they translate and notarize it and submit it to the French court
your wife will be able to get an official trial
I see... Thank you
Since Seo testified that it was a simple participation
her sentence won't be that long
Thank you so much
Yalka! Yalka!
9 months in detention
I'm finally getting my trial
Trial Trial?
Yes, trial
Hello, Mr. Chu? This is Kim Jongbae
My wife is finally able to get her trial
See's trial records will be sent over to you shortly
Please have them well translated and notarized
and submit them safely to the court
I'll be calling you again
Thank you so much for telling me how to do my job
2 months later
French translation of Sea Mundo trial records
What do you think you're doing?
Just sorting the outgoing mail, sir
The assembly men will arrive in any moment
And look at this mess we have here
We'll clean it up right away
Put these away, too
Come on
Smile for the camera, please
One more
Lunch will be served at a three Michelin starred restaurant
Only three? It should be at least seven
Three is the highest rating
I was only joking
You have such a great sense of humor
What's this?
That's the pile from earlier
These shouldn't be lying around here
Documents to be shredded from this quarter, please
Given that the principal offender Seo Mundo has yet to be arrested
and neither the government of Republic of Korea nor the Embassy
submitted any relevant documents for this court to be able to
proceed with the trial of the defendant,
I hereby extend the provisional detention of the defendant, Song Jeongyeon
by another 4 months
Trial... My trial...
My trial is possible
Because
Because... Seo Mundo
Seo Mundo is arrested
My trial...
Please sit down, ma'am We are doing our best
Your Embassy is bad
Your Embassy has no responsibility
Ask for a translator to your Embassy, okay?
Guard
11 months in detention
Dear Honorable Consul,
my husband tells me that Seo Mundo has been arrested
and yet, I still can't get my trial
I plead you to provide Seo's trial records and an interpreter in the next 4 months
I beg you desperately
As ashamed I am, I, too, am a citizen of the Republic of Korea
It's the drug housewife again
Will we have to move?
Hey sis, what's up?
You're coming tomorrow, aren't you?
Don't be alarmed but Hyerin had a little accident
How are you going to get back at this hour?
I already bought the tickets for the last bus
Bye bye, auntie
We need to get the wound disinfected
I'll take care of it
You talk as if I did a sloppy job taking care of your daughter
She wanted help to make her birthday soup for you
I know, I hear ya
I'm not mad at you I'm grateful
Neither of us knew this would drag so long
I can't burden you any longer
We'll be on our way Donggeun, uncle's leaving
And she doesn't look back once
Look, a deer Where?
There it is Come here, pretty deer
It's coming
Daddy, you have this Auntie gave it to me
I don't need a birthday present I just want you
To temporary amusement park
Let's go, sweetie
I'm so happy that Hyerin had a good birthday

Hanger Rice

I will... turn myself into ketchup
I will be... dance all day long
Cause I am the magnificent Mr. Tomato!
Get up
Everyday, I have the same dream
of being locked up in a room with no entrance or exit
I'm scared more and more everyday
Will I ever be able to get out of this place?
Please wake me from this nightmare, honey
I feel as if I'm having the same nightmares, too
Foreclosure?
I'll send it as quickly as possibly
I'm real sorry
It was Valentine's Day today
February 74, 2006 which a lot of you must have been looking forward to
Did you give chocolates to your loved ones?
16 months in detention
16 months in detention I hope all our listeners are with their loved ones now
I hope all our listeners are with their loved ones now
and wish you a happy Valentine's Day
Honey, it's me Hey, I'm here
How did you manage to call?
I'm out of prison
What?
Where are you? Are you out on parole?
I think so
From now on, you will be awaiting your trial under my supervision
in a non-detainment capacity
There are a few very important rules to bear in mind
You must be back at your apartment by no later than 7 pm
and may not stray away from your living quarters
You must always respond to the convocations
and come into this office once a week to sign in
Sorry. It's not great This is for you
See you next week. Okay?
She's out on parole
Congratulations
It's worse than being in prison
Now she has to pay the rent and food?
You should ask the French court
How can I when I don't speak French?
We advised you to get an interpreter
Complain to the French court directly instead of bothering us
French Embassy in Korea
My child's mother is being held in French prison without trial
Let my wife come home from prison in Martinique
Who is that man?
One moment
Everyone is logged in on 'Supporters of Song Jeongyeon'?
You may not understand the significance of your work now
Take pride in what you're doing and keep posting comments
By doing this, you're saving a family and eventually the world
Add more exclamation points Use four!
Where did you learn to do that? Great job
Look at this, Mr. Ambassador
It's on our website, too
This is the public reaction?
Yes, sir We're doing the best we can
but as you know, the French are slow with everything
Yes, it's our duty to protect the interests of Korean citizens overseas
Okay... Bye
The problem is the French who take forever to do anything
When did we send off those documents?
Everything's a mess because they didn't proceed with the trial
What's with all this fuss on the net?
Mr. Consul
How about taking a trip to Martinique?
In case they hold you responsible for not following the procedure
Besides, it's the Caribbean
People go there for vacation
Vacation?
I have nothing else to offer you
Please contain yourself in front of the Consul
Everything else is fine but because of the language problem
it's hard to understand what's going on
and no one is explaining things to me
It must be hard being incarcerated far from home
But they say 'An evil may turn out a blessing in disguise'
People spend a lot of money to come here for vacation
Consider yourself lucky Positive thinking, you know?
When will I get my trial?
It's no good feeling so anxious
You won't be leaving any time soon anyway
Excuse me?
Didn't you know?
Drug offenses are taken very seriously
Simple carrying can get you up to 1O years in prison
And that's getting it easy
1O years? But I didn't know it was drugs
That's the law here Any way Ms. Song...
It's Song Jeongyeon
It's important to find peace of mind, Ms. Song
Have you ever tried meditation?
These walls are perfect
Sit facing the wall with your legs crossed
Try it It'll do wonders
You can't just leave like this
I am sorry I committed a terrible crime
I'll repent till the day I die for bringing disgrace to my country
So, please
Mr. Consul, please send me to a prison in Korea
I'm not asking to be released
You should try to find inner peace
That way your husband can focus on paying off his debt
and getting a place to live
What do you mean 'a place to live?'
Your husband told me
that he got kicked out of the house
Why don't you get yourself something to drink?
Please let me meet the judge
Please one question!
What does she want?
Trial... Trial...
Ten years? Really ten years?
This is the court house
You are only permitted to see me in presence of a parole officer
Am I really getting ten years?
Is it true?
Tell me, please
Please!
Dear Mr. Consul, thank you for coming all the way to meet me
but I cannot accept the money you gave me
FA 0: Korean Embassy in France FA 0: Mn Kim Jongbae
My beloved Mr. Kim Jongbae, It's your wife, Song Jeongyeon
I remember the day we first met
Our first night together
and the moment we held Hyerin in our arms for the first time
These were the most brilliant moments of my life
I can clearly remember the entire 8 years we spent together
Yalka
Song?
Song!
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay Are you?
I'm okay
I only realized after I got released on parole
that this was the Caribbean
the place we promised to come for our tenth wedding anniversary
And I realized
that I've been living in my nightmare
I don't want you to struggle in my nightmare any more
You deserve to be happy
As long as I endure this, it'll only make you suffer more
And that's the worst nightmare I can imagine
Jeongyeon Open the door, Jeongyeon
If it wasn't for you,
I couldn't have survived the year and a half in this deserted place
So, I thank you
and I regret
I could have loved you more I truly could have.
Please tell Hyerin that I love her
that I'm so sorry
It's my wife
Something's not right and I can't reach the Embassy
Please look at this letter
Can you come back later?
Please check if she's alive Come back later
Later?
When?
A woman who carried drugs deserves to die?
She's not a Korean citizen?
Is it so damn hard to check if she's alive or dead?
What are you doing? Put that down
Get off of me
ls it so hard to find out if she's alive or dead?
Hang in there, Jeongyeon Jeongyeon
Wait for me, Jeongyeon
Kim Jongbae
Come out!
Jeez, look at you Not now, let's go
This is a producer from KBC He wants to do a story on Jeongyeon
My name is Shin Cheolho You must've been through a lot
I have good news for you
Netizens have found a Korean living in Martinique
But the Embassy told me there were no Koreans living there
Did this person meet Jeongyeon?
Is she okay?
She's stable now but she's suffering from a severe malnutrition
We are planning to fly over to Martinique Are you coming with us?
Pardon?
I see... Okay
We'll go straight to her parole house
What do they say?
She was discharged this morning
She is really fragile I don't know how she managed until now
This is it
Honey
Jeongyeon, are you there?
Jeongyeon
Honey
It's me Open the door
Jeongyeon
Why are you crying? Don't cry
Open this door
Open the door
Look at you What happened to you?
Is that really you?
You came all this way here?
Look at you
Let me show you Hyerin
Hyerin, do you have something you want to tell mommy?
I do
What is it?
Mommy, I can't remember your face
My skull hurts because of that Hurry back home, mommy
I love you
Anything else?
I will... Mommy is coming home soon I love you and miss you, too
Are you sure you never received the documents?
Tell them to send the documents right away if they have them
Ms Song's case is pretty straightforward
Was she deceived or not?
Without evidence to contrary, we have no choice but to assume criminal intent
If such documents exist, that assumption can be changed
But where are the documents?
What challenges did you encounter while defending Ms Song?
Listen! What can I do when I can't even communicate with my client?
There was nothing I could do Stop filming
How come the Embassy didn't know that you were here?
I'm puzzled myself
I sent my documents to Paris last year to have my passport renewed
Here we are in the Carribean after all
How come they're still up?
I guess they can't sleep either
Honey
can I go home instead of you?
I want to go
Okay, let's do that
Let's do that, Jeongyeon
Your wife isn't coming?
She can't come to the airport
She's afraid she couldn't bear to come back here
I understand Let's go
Our hearts go out to her regarding the situation
It must be so hard being away from her child
and face loneliness and hardship
It seemed that your hearts didn't go out that far
You told her there were no Koreans living there
but there was a Korean woman who's been studying there for 3 years
We did the best we could with the given manpower and budget
We absolutely regret the situation
What about the trial records? According to the judge and prosecutor...
That's what I wanted to talk about
We put a lot of time and effort into translating and notarizing it
and sent it out by registered mail
This is the outgoing mail book
As you can see, the documents were posted on November 24
We also have a copy
France may seem like an advanced country but there's always strikes
and they're not as precise as we are
You said you sent them out by registered mail?
It's mandatory for official documents
Then, you must have the receipt
Are you being serious?
We're civil servants hired by the Korean government
Are you accusing us of lying?
Mr. Chu, bring them the receipt
Excuse me for a moment
ls this all?
Wait
This is from last year, too?
Just a minute How well did you hide it?
- Move over - I'm still looking, sir
Here it is
No, this isn't it
It's not some old receipt that's important
We have sent the documents That's what matters, right?
How many times did I ask you to check it?
Do you know who you're talking to?
Get that camera off my face
Stop filming
What's the matter with him?
Somebody stop him
You talked to me on the phone
Why get all violent?
- Calm down - Stop him
You got my calls, didn't you? Didn't you?
Do you have any idea what an awkward situation you put us in?
Your husband barged in with a TV camera
We're not criminals
What ungrateful people you are!
Calm down. You're acting as if we did something wrong
Explain it kindly
I don't understand
I'll be honest with you You are making a huge mistake
You think these television people can help solve your problem?
You are currently on parole
Pulling something like this is breaking French law
What are you telling me?
You could be going to back to jail
You keep poking around at the French judicial system
How would that make them feel?
And the trial records... they're not as important as you think
They can't expedite the process either
Stop being so stubborn about something that's of little importance
We're acting stubborn?
Take what I just said to heart and tell your husband
that he'll ruin everything if he continues like that
Wait
Let's go Wait! Please
What now?
Let's go
This is from France
Here
recommend that you hold off the broadcast?
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
This won't affect us broadcasting the program
but since this concerns you also, I thought I should let you know
It's just blackmail There is nothing they can do
Excuse me
Hello, Jihye
What?
How can it not be important?
How can they say we're being stubborn?
Don't believe a word they say It's just blackmail
I never said I wouldn't pay for what I've done
All I wanted was a little attention
I know... Stop crying It'll make you weaker
This isn't over yet
Jongbae, it's on
Martinique, a remote Caribbean island 22 hours away by plane
There is a Korean woman locked away in prison here for over a year
I never imagined it could be drugs I thought it was rough gemstones
Ms Song's case is pretty straightforward
Was she deceived or not
Jeongyeon
Take a look at this
"How much she must miss her daughter?"
"It's not just the Embassy but a problem of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs"
"Be strong, Jeongyeon"
This is creating a huge stir on the net
If America has nuclear bombs we have netizens
We're an Internet nation
"Scandalous! Waste of taxpayer money"
"I'm sending you support as a mother Never give up hope "
"Hang in there, Song's family We have your backs!"
"How can the lost time be compensated?"
I'm Song Jeongyeon's husband
My wife has been held in prison in Martinique without trial
but, no one cared to listen to my story
I blamed the man who put my wife in this situation
I blamed my country that did nothing for her
and I blamed my wife for getting herself in this mess
But, I'm the one that drove her to go so far away
It was me
I failed to keep my promise to always keep her happy
and keep the smile on my daughter's face
But' this new hope you have given me
I will never let it go
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we'll be watching how you deal with this"
What if Song was from a powerful family?
"Citizens are watching you" "Do not delete this post again!"
"Please share this post so that more people can see"
"We're sending Song a parcel" "Raising funds to help Song's family"
Give Song your hope
I knew it would lead to this
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do you really work for this country?"
It's all over the TV and the Internet
I heard they've been reassigned somewhere in Central Asia
Uzebekistan?
Kazakhstan?

24 months in detention
24 ' months in detention This is Bekhor. Your new lawyer
Bonjour, Olivier Bekhor
Bonjour, nice to meet you
He says not to worry Everything will be fine
Feel free to doze off it usually gets boring in the court
And someone's come from the Embassy
Shall we?
Please sit here
The 37 kilos of cocaine, the defendant tried to smuggle into the country
is an enormous quantity worth over 85 million Euro
This fact alone makes it impossible to avoid severe punishment
Your Honor,
I believe you have examined Seo Mundo's trial records
He testified in court that in order to to get the defendant involved
in his cocaine smuggling scheme
he tricked her into believing that she was carrying gemstones
Until now, the defendant, Song Jeongyeon,
has never been involved in any crime
including drug-related offenses or faced criminal indictment
Despite this, she was forced to spend 2 years in prison
in a country she is completely unfamiliar with
Does the defendant
have any last words to say?
In that case, sentencing will be delivered after 10 minutes...
I...
I committed a crime
I committed a crime because of my foolish desire to earn money
I'm a criminal
And for the past 2 years
I've been repenting for my sin
But there are others I must beg for forgiveness
My family
My husband who lost his wife
My daughter who grew up without her mother
She's six years old now
She was barely four when I left
She has turned five and then six
I have caused her so much pain that cannot be undone
I want to go back home pay for the wrong I've done
Please let my family have
the wife and mother back
I want to go back home
I...
want to go back home
I want to go back home
The court sentences the defendant, Song Jeongyeon
for the charges of violation of Drug Control Law,
the Customs Act and the Aviation Act
one year of imprisonment
He said one year You've already served two years in prison
That means you can go home now
Wait, you have already served 2 years
What about the year already spent?
If you file a lawsuit, you'll be able to claim compensation
You can claim compensation for the extra year you served
No... I just want to go home
Welcome home Song Jeongyeon supporters
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Republic of Korea requests
efficient entry and necessary convenience to the holder of this passport
We'll be landing at Incheon International Airport shortly
We hope you had a pleasant flight and wish you a very good journey
Jeongyeon
There she is

Mommy's here
Hyerin, are you being shy? It's mommy

It is your mommy
It's mommy, baby I missed you, mommy
I'm so sorry it took so long
Ow Does it hurt?
No
I think it does
No it doesn't You're trying to make me pretty
Let me braid your hair
Honey! Hyerin! Daddy's home
- Daddy! - Wait
Come on out here
What?
My queen and princess, it's the first snow of the year
Let's take a picture together
Lean in a little more
That's perfect
Hello?
Hello, is this Mr. Kim Jongbae?
This is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs We have good news for you
Your wife, Song Jeongyeon, had a trial and was sentenced to a year in prison
I believe she'll be able to come home soon
Mr. Kim?
I'm coming Come on, dad
Smile for the camera
Smile
- Let's have a look - Let's see
Hyerin looks pretty
Who's daughter is that?
Jang Mijeong returned home after spending 765 days in detention
She has since had another daughter and is living with her family
