Tell me.
Why wasn't the Chairman released last time?
Well
it ended up like that because of Attorney Lee Han Sin.
[Sangbu Mall]
Guardians of Justice Team ⚖️🛡️ @Viki.com
Lee Han Sin? Attorney Lee Han Sin?
Yes.
Attorney Lee Han Sin is a parole examiner.
The Chairman's previous parole review
ended up being suspended due to a trick he played during the review.
Oh, right. Lieutenant An Seo Yun, who came to your installation ceremony and caused a fuss,
also came to the review committee and testified.
What brings you here?
Please come in.
Attorney, you have a guest.
I guess even attorneys are struggling to get by these days.
I was a bit surprised when I heard the news
that you went from being a correction officer to an attorney
and now to a parole examiner.
You've lived quite diligently.
It's thanks to you.
Me?
I learned the disgusting truth that, as a correction officer,
I couldn't stop bastards like you who shouldn't be released early
no matter how hard I tried.
Don't try so hard.
You remember the story of the mantis who died while trying to stop a cart, right?
If you keep running wild like that, you'll really die.
I guess the cart was shaken a bit,
seeing how you personally came to threaten me.
It's not a threat.
It's a concern.
I came to tell you that I'm secretly cheering for you.
Even from my point of view,
my dad shouldn't be released on parole.
If you can stop his parole until he serves his full sentence, that'd be great.
Or if he ends up being imprisoned for life, even better.
[Parole Examiner Lee]
[Episode 8]
You've gone through a lot all this time.
You've done everything you can in the time you were given,
and now, only the decisions of the parole examiners remain.
[National Technical Qualification Acquisition Certificate]
Wait. As you all may know,
Parole Examiner Kim Nae Gyeong is no longer able to carry out her duties,
so a new parole examiner has been appointed.
Let's exchange greetings before the review.
I look forward to working with you.
Yes, I look forward to working with you.
I look forward to working with you. I am Attorney Seo Dong Hoon.
Yes, I look forward to working with you.
Oh, hello. I'm Attorney Seo Dong Hoon.
I look forward to working with you. I look forward to working with you.
So? Were you shocked?
Do you have to catch your breath?
It's too bad that we keep running into each other
when we're not very fond of each other.
I guess you're here as a yes-man?
Hey, you and I are on different levels.
Even if you act as Chairman Ji Dong Man's yes-man,
please handle the other cases fairly.
Yeah.
You do you.
All right, let's prepare for the review.
Okay.
Where is my seat?
Parole Examiner, it's over here.
Oh, that's my seat? Oh, okay.
Since all the members are present,
we will start the monthly parole review committee meeting for January 2025.
Administrative Secretary, please tell us what's on the agenda.
876 people applied for the monthly parole review for January 2025.
Yes
Yes
Please do that.
I'm sorry.
Yes, yes.
Finally, we will examine the case, which needs careful review.
We will summon Candidate 233 for an in-person review.
We summon Candidate 233.
We will give you a chance to give your final testimony.
Even parole examiners are human beings.
Please appeal to their emotions.
I'm raising a baby daughter in prison.
My name is Heo Eun Ji, Su Ah's mother.
If I am not released on parole this time,
I may have to put Su Ah up for adoption.
I was also an adoptee.
So, I don't want Su Ah to go through the suffering that I went through.
Please give me a chance so that I, her mother, can raise Su Ah.
Please, I beg you.
I'm asking because this is my first time here,
but does such melodramatic storytelling work here?
Isn't it overly emotional?
Candidate 233 obtained a Korean culinary chef license so she can
provide for herself and her baby after her release.
And I would like you to consider that someone has become her guardian.
But the license and the guardian all came after she applied for parole review.
It seems like she did so at the last minute to earn points for the parole review.
Doesn't it seem like that?
She hasn't even settled with her victims.
Yes, she hasn't.
That's because she had no family to facilitate the settlement.
Also, with the desire to compensate her victims,
she's been saving up prison funds and labor wages.
Please check the relevant documents.
It is a fact that she hasn't fulfilled her enforcement rate.
Yes, that's right.
There is a need to discuss whether
the length of her sentence was appropriate.
Seeing how the amount of damages wasn't that high and the fact it was her first time,
the three-year sentence given to her by the court is a bit excessive.
It's excessive?
Could you tell us what's excessive about it?
Candidate 233 ran away from home
to escape domestic abuse from her alcoholic father.
At the time, there were no social safety nets to protect a runaway minor.
In the end, she ended up getting involved in crime.
Also, during her investigation and trial, she couldn't receive any help from an attorney.
Yes, it's true that it's a sad story,
but don't you think it's not appropriate for us
to argue a court decision that's already past?
Of course,
we can't change the court's decision.
Also, we can't change the past events of Candidate 233's life.
However,
we can change the fate of her daughter, Su Ah.
Why would you bring up fate?
This parole review is her last chance to be released with her daughter,
so I give Candidate 233 a qualified opinion
for her parole.
Though I feel bad for her situation, rules are rules.
Since her recidivism rating is 3,
I give her a disqualified opinion.
Though she hasn't fulfilled her enforcement rate,
I find no problems with her being released early to care for her child.
I give her a qualified opinion.
Overall, she lacks the requirements to be released.
I give her a disqualified opinion.
This is my first time here, so is it okay to give my opinion at the front?
We currently have 2 qualified and 2 disqualified opinions.
So, my opinion will decide the vote, right?
- It looks that way.
- I see.
My opinion is
Su Ah, these clothes are gifts from the correction officers.
It's nice to wear new clothes, right?
All done. Let's take a look.
My Su Ah, you look so pretty.
She's so pretty.
Su Ah, let Auntie hug you from behind.
Su Ah, you can't forget Auntie 2218, okay?
No, just forget about Auntie.
Forget us all,
and have a happy, healthy, and wealthy life, okay?
Hey, once Su Ah leaves, you won't see her again.
Say goodbye.
Hey, wherever you go, don't complain about sleeping or eating.
Gosh, I got something in my eye
Su Ah, good-bye.
All right, it's time to leave now.
- Let's go.
- Bye-bye, Su Ah!
Bye-bye.
Su Ah, bye-bye.
Bye-bye!
Mr. Baek, are you crying?
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who wants to cry!
Gosh, what a hassle. Goodness
Stop crying.
I really didn't know it would turn out like this.
Why do I keep tearing up?
My opinion is
a qualified opinion.
Thank you!
Thank you!
- Thank you!
- You don't need to thank me like that.
Thank you!
So weird, so weird. I don't get these people.
My goodness.
Then, with 3 qualified and 2 disqualified opinions,
we'll conclude that Candidate 233 has a qualified opinion.
Thank you!
Attorney Seo.
Yes?
I guess you listened to my advice.
You stopped me to say this nonsense? I'm busy.
I was scared that you would give her a disqualified opinion because of me.
Hey, that's your misunderstanding.
You have no impact on my life whatsoever.
As a parole examiner, I made that decision
after assessing the candidate's situation
based on my own review standards.
What? Do you have anything else to say?
You don't, right? I'll be going since I'm busy.
Don't smile.
He's a funny man.
I can't tell what he's thinking.
Su Ah
Bye!
Bye! Live a happy life!
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I don't have to be separated from Su Ah.
If it wasn't for you all, I would really
Thank you.
You've gone through a lot, Eun Ji.
Su Ah, you've been through a lot, too.
You, too, President Choi, and everyone else as well.
Are we holding a funeral? Stop being so sentimental and leave!
Also, carry her bags and help her with the baby's jacket.
Are you crying, too?
I think she's mad because of me.
No, she rushed over here, saying you two shouldn't wait outside in the cold.
President Choi, I love you!
Thank you.
Shut up! Are you all going to live here?
- Don't keep the baby out in the cold, and come quickly!
- Come
Hurry up and open the door.
Here, come in.
Aigoo, aigoo.
She's so pretty.
Gosh, every time I watch this, I feel so
touched.
What are the chances that I would run into her like that?
[A child in prison]
All right
All right. I prepared a meal for you. Please enjoy.
Why would you do something I didn't even ask for?
I was so grateful, but this was the only thing I knew how to do.
Since you made it already, I'll eat it.
- Let's eat.
- Yes.
Hey guys, bring the baby-
Do you like it?
Yes, it's good.
Noodles all taste the same.
[One Bite Noodle House]
[Out of ingredients. Closed for the day]
We're closed for the day.
We're closed for the day.
I guess your business is doing great, as usual.
President Choi!
What brings you here?
Did you come for some noodles?
Looks like you're out of ingredients and closed for the day.
My gosh. Of all people, you're here.
Of course, I can make you a bowl of noodles!
Forget the noodles.
I came because I have a favor to ask of you.
A favor?
Of course, I should do it coming from you.
Gosh, I told you not to live like that!
How could you say yes without even knowing what I'll ask of you?
I've been able to earn a living thanks to you, President Choi.
Of course, I should do whatever it is.
What is it? Tell me quickly.
I'll send you someone.
Teach her how to run a business.
Well, that's not that difficult,
but who is it?
Someone who reminds me of my old self.
She'll work hard.
Since she has someone to protect.
Deal?
[Seoul Sangbu Police Precinct]
The only clue we have is that unregistered car and all the CCTVs are useless.
This is driving me nuts.
Should I ask sunbaes in other teams about someone who's good at tracking unregistered cars?
No, I'll ask.
Who?
Gosh, you're all working so hard.
Lieutenant An, here you are.
It's been a while. Nice to see you again.
- How can we help you?
- Why do you pretend not to see me? It's been a while.
What's this?
I guess you decided to come at me with numbers now.
No, I'm thinking of beating you up with the law.
What are you doing right now?
All right. Ta-da! We've come from Ojung Group's legal team.
Yes, I know, Attorney Seo Dong Hoon.
I worked so hard to catch Choi Jeong Hak, and you took him.
Citing presumption of innocence.
Then, Choi Jeong Hak died.
Wow, you have such a good memory.
But today, I came regarding your malicious dissemination of false information
and defamation of Executive Director Ji Myeong Seop.
I came to tell you that I filed a lawsuit against you, Lieutenant An.
This is something I need to see for myself.
That's right.
Here. Here, take this.
[Complaint]
I see. You're trying to shut me up with a lawsuit.
- Geez.
- W-What's wrong?
Her reaction is too boring.
Too boring?
Really? It's only starting to get fun for me.
- What?
- I dangled the discovery of Choi Jeong Hak's corpse case,
and you're floundering around in fear.
As if you're a criminal caught red-handed.
Again, again, again! You're saying words of defamation!
Everyone heard her problematic words, right?
Sue me as much as you want.
I'll investigate you as much as I want.
- I'll be going.
- Bye now.
Whoa, how could she be so bold when she just got sued?
Wow! Everyone saw Lieutenant An's attitude when she received the lawsuit, right?
Everyone saw, right? Everyone saw.
A noodle house?
A-Are you saying President Choi found employment for Heo Eun Ji?
Wow, I knew Heo Eun Ji could do it.
You know how pretty women are also good at cooking.
You know that.
Gosh, you seem so happy, Mr. Hwang.
Could you tell?
I don't need to eat this ramen. I can eat noodles.
- Hello? Yes, Lieutenant.
- But it's not good cold.
Something you need to discuss with me?
- Here.
- Okay.
Will noodles be enough for the people who helped you out?
But the noodles are tasty.
Okay. Ask them if they need anything else.
Okay.
Oh, it's out.
All right.
- Thank you for the food.
- Please.
I'm so grateful to Parole Examiner Lee Han Sin and President Choi,
but this is all I can do for you.
Oh, no, this is more than enough!
Gosh, it looks so good.
Thank you for the food.
You're welcome. If you need anything, please let me know.
By President Choi, does she mean Smile Cash's President Choi?
Yes. She also helped her get a job here after her release.
I guess she's pretty different from the rumors.
Well, you can only know a person after getting to know them.
Please eat.
Oh, you guys seem to be enjoying yourselves.
President Choi, come in!
Please come join us.
Are you doing well, Eun Ji?
I asked her to join us since she was about to have lunch soon.
You said you had something to tell me, Lieutenant An.
Shall we discuss it later?
Choi Jeong Hak died.
I thought I should tell you, Attorney.
- The cause of death is?
The autopsy results say it wasn't a homicide,
but I'm sure it was a homicide made to look like a suicide.
If it's a homicide, do you have any suspects?
Ojung Group's Ji Myeong Seop.
But Choi Jeong Hak's body was found in an unregistered car.
So, I'm stuck in my investigation.
An unregistered car?
Unregistered car
- Unregistered car.
- What, what?
If it's an unregistered car, aren't you an expert in that field?
It's true that is my expertise.
What? Do you want me to help you?
I mean, you should ask yourself if you want my help.
Do you want me to help you or not?
What did you come to leave with me? A car?
It's been a while.
- P-President Choi!
- Hey.
- How have you been?
- Doing well, all thanks to you.
But what brings you here? You didn't even call ahead.
I'm looking for something.
- Oh, you should first say hello.
- Sorry?
All right, this is the famous unregistered car businessman,
- Jobs.
- Regi.
("Jobsregi" sounds like Korean for "random trash")
President Choi, your sense of humor is
How could you call me random trash!
I'm pretty much like a revolutionary Steve Jobs,
creating the most cutting-edge system to make the illegal, unregistered car business world clean!
You're still all talk, I see.
Here.
I want to find the actual owner of this unregistered car.
He ran away without paying me.
There's someone who'd dare to recklessly run away without paying you, President Choi?
What a stupid bastard.
Sunbae, sorry to call you out during your work.
It's okay. Sit down.
I asked Jeoksong Prison for a list of Sunbaenim's visitors during his imprisonment.
Check it.
[Regular visitation - Jeoksong - 1/3/2025, 17:39-17:49, Son Eung Jun - Acquaintance]
Son Eung Jun?
Isn't he the Chief Secretary of Ojung Group?
Yeah.
There must be a reason why these bastards
are still so fixated on the Chief
after framing him for a crime he didn't commit.
Until the Chief is released no
if he could get released,
they'll continue to watch him.
But why do you think the Chief met with the Ojung Group
Director Son when he rejected our visitations?
That's what I can't understand, either.
There must be some reason.
I must hear it from him directly.
From whom?
Chief Cheon.
How will you do that when he keeps rejecting our visitations?
What can I do to make this happen?
Huh? This is a fake license plate made in a factory in Southeast Asia.
It's a fake license plate you can buy for 500,000 won.
- How do I catch this asshole?
- This asshole?
Seeing how there's no transaction record,
he must have bought it from a junkyard and put the license plate.
The junkyard that repairs cars meant to be scrapped,
attach a fake license plate and sell them-
Where's the junkyard?
Hey, Ju Mok. I'm investigating the unregistered car seller, so get over here.
Yeah, I'll send you the address.
24 Mi. 5883!
You sold this car! You'd better tell it to me straight!
Should I fold your junkyard and your life in half today?
Hey! I'll say it one more time.
Listen carefully.
24 Mi 5883!
Wait, wait! Stop, stop.
Why? Did you find something? Shit.
That's him.
Ahjussi, you have the transaction records, right? Hand it over.
Do you think he put his personal info on paper while buying an unregistered car?
You think he disclosed his phone number and talked to him?
Geez, that ahjumma
I hear you're pretty famous in this field.
You manage your customers well, right?
Pardon? M-Manage customers?
You know a secret way to contact him, right?
W-Well, I mean
Gosh, Mr. Baek. Go and fold him in half.
Fold him in half and wash him.
- Don't you shower? Don't you wash?
- Tell me quickly.
- Don't get near me. You stink.
- Tell me before I fold you in half.
24 Mi 5883. I just received an order to scrap it quickly because it's a suicide vehicle.
But there's something strange in it.
What strange thing?
Something the police might find interesting.
If you're curious, bring me some money and check it out.
24 Mi 5884. Where's that car?
- It's not here.
- What?
I didn't know you would actually come!
Damn it! What BS is this?
Gosh, I finally get to see your face.
I had high expectations because you kept hiding your face,
but in reality, your face is subpar.
So, it's you.
♫ I'm a typhoon who wants to wipe away the unfair world ♫
♫ Those steps of cowards busy running away ♫
Let's give this up.
♫ Before I know the truth, I will protect my own truth even in the face of the powerful ♫
Get out.
Oh, there she is.
Hey, Lieutenant An.
What's this?
And who is this?
The prime suspect in the murder of Choi Jeong Hak.
I'll explain later after I interrogate him.
[Sangbu Mall]
Sunbae, you know Warden Bae Han Seong, right?
- Warden Bae?
- Yes.
After he became the warden,
he's been laying low while busy being dragged around by Chairman Ji.
But don't you think we should watch him more closely?
Right.
He may fall back into his old habits and start acting up.
[Building a clean correctional facility where justice lives]
[Evidence: Witness testimony / CCTV / Item found on the scene - A pen containing drugs]
Yes, hello?
Attorney Lee, it's me.
I tracked down the unregistered car with Lieutenant An today
and she arrested the unregistered car buyer.
I thought I should let you know everything went well, Attorney Lee.
Things get resolved quickly when you get involved, President Choi.
I know these are empty words, but it's so nice to hear that.
I think I'll tell you the details in person. What do you think?
Oh, okay. Well
I had something to talk to you about anyway. Come on over.
Okay, then I'll head over right away.
Mr. Baek, let's go quickly.
Okay.
On January 6th, you bought an unregistered car at Donggan Junkyard.
With Choi Jeong Hak in the car, you entered Ilcheon Valley at 3:40 a.m.
You administered drugs to him there and lit the charcoal starter to make it look like a suicide. Right?
What BS is that?
All I did was buy the unregistered car at his request.
Strangulation marks on his neck and tons of abrasions and bruises all over that show it was a homicide!
You know you killed him.
I didn't kill him.
Lim Jeong Gyun,
you're here as the prime suspect in Choi Jeong Hak's murder.
I'm sure you killed Choi Jeong Hak with Ji Myeong Seop.
Ji Myeong Seop murdered my younger sister,
and you killed Choi Jeong Hak because he had proof of that!
No. I told you that's not true!
Yes, Detective Kim.
I called you as we planned.
What?
That was there?
Okay, hurry up and come back.
Come back?
The interrogation is over.
But will you be okay to leave right now?
If we found the evidence that Choi Jeong Hak hid,
Ojung Group won't leave you alone.
You don't know what's filmed there.
So, the evidence Choi Jeong Hak was hiding was a video, huh?
Why did you ask to meet me?
What could we possibly have to talk about?
That's right.
It wouldn't be you unless you looked at me with disgust and talked back to me, Choi Won Mi.
Ahjumma, you haven't changed.
If you're going to say such nonsense, I'll be leaving.
Let go!
You couldn't say a thing when my dad beat you every day. But I'm easy to dismiss, yeah?
Let go!
So? You remember how my dad used to take turns beating you and me, right?
Let go!
You hate my dad, too.
That's why you aren't dropping the charges.
I dropped the charges.
How could you drop the charges already!
He kept threatening me.
I need to live, too!
I need to live!
Will you get dragged around like a dog on a leash for the rest of your life?
Don't be like that, and let's get revenge together.
Are you crazy? Revenge?
The people who know Ojung Group Chairman Ji Dong Man the best are us two.
Everything from his true nature to the weaknesses he wants to hide.
Shut up.
Stop making a fuss and listen to me.
Make sure you cover up this incident.
If any word of this gets out,
it will affect not only you but also our entire group! Got it?
The death of a lowly girl is not a big deal!
Cover it up, cover it up!
Death?
Hey, stop being a nuisance
and drink your alcohol without causing trouble.
If you keep this up, things could all go downhill in an instant, like in the past.
Also, you better watch out.
[Year 2022]
Is this your first time in the VIP room?
It's also my first time at a nightclub.
That's nice.
Pardon?
It's nice that you're so innocent.
What is it?
Gosh, you've got such a good eye, Hyung.
I decided to give you something extra since it's you, Hyung.
- Should I sit next to you?
- Please just leave.
Okay, okay. Have fun!
See you.
I called you because I was bored to drink alone.
You can leave after we chat a bit.
You can leave whenever you'd like.
I'll just drink water.
Oh, you want to drink water?
Give me your glass.
I'll be leaving.
Leave if you can.
You've got good mental strength.
- Where are you going?
- Let go of me!
You wretched bitch!
What the
Is she dead?
Damn it
Director Son,
well, I
I have a bit of an annoying situation. You need to come.
You're here?
She's dead, right?
Is she dead?
Damn it, this is so annoying.
You brought a car, right?
Give me the keys.
A person has died.
So what?
Isn't it your job to clean up after stuff like these?
Hand over the car keys.
Please go home straight.
Just clean up this mess properly.
I'm leaving.
Hey! Hey!
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- Damn it!
Gosh, this is so annoying! Damn it!
Move!
In the end, he'll be released.
Just like how it's always been.
No.
I found evidence that he's connected to Choi Jeong Hak's death and requested an arrest warrant-
The warrant won't be issued.
All you've found so far is circumstantial evidence,
and you already know that it would be difficult to detain Lim Jeong Gyun
just for buying an unregistered car.
It was like that back then, too.
Back then, those bastards
[Girl Cop An Seo Yun]
You're really not picking up?
You're not picking up?
The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail
after the beep and, there will be an additional charge.
She's ignoring me now that she's an adult?
[You better reply fast before I start tracking your location]
[Detective Kim Ju Mok]
Yeah.
What is it? Is there an incident?
Sunbae.
Tell me.
The thing is
[Morgue Rules]
Da Yun
Da Yun
I'm sorry
I will
I will
I will make sure to find the bastard who did this to you
and kill him.
I will
I will make sure to find the bastard who did this to you and kill him!
I'll be leaving.
I'll find the evidence that you killed my younger sister.
I bet you won't.
You son of a bitch!
- Sunbae!
- Lieutenant An Seo Yun.
Follow me.
Geez, took you long enough.
An Seo Yun.
Do you know what age we live in? How could you use physical violence!
- I'm sorry.
- Forget it.
Take your hands off this case.
- Pardon?
- You're not in your right mind right now.
I understand since it's your younger sister. That's why you should be off of this case.
- Captain!
- If you don't want to face discipline,
do what I say.
You understand?
All the circumstances pointed to Ji Myeong Seop as the culprit. However-
It was after all the conclusive evidence disappeared,
and you probably had no choice but to watch him slip through the cracks of the law.
I also experienced that.
Chief Cheon, whom I followed and relied on like a father,
was framed by the Ojung Group.
But there was nothing I could do
as a correction officer.
Gosh, is it almost done?
Is that why you became a parole examiner?
Not too long ago, Ji Myeong Seop came to see me.
Ji Myeong Seop?
He made me an offer.
Even I don't think that my dad should be released on parole.
If you can stop his parole until he pays his due, that would be great.
Or if he can stay in there for life, even better.
You're thinking, "What is this guy plotting," right?
I'm really not plotting anything.
So, tell me.
I'll help in any way for a strategy that will be a win-win for both of us.
He said let's partner up
to bring Ji Dong Man down.
I don't know about anything else, but he seemed to mean that, so I'm thinking of accepting his offer.
Attorney Lee, Ji Myeong Seop is trying to use you.
He'll cast you aside when he gets what he wants.
I will do exactly the same.
I'll use Ji Myeong Seop to strike Ji Dong Man, then cast him aside mercilessly.
I'll bring down Ojung Group with the same method
that Ojung Group used up until now.
I'll join you.
When is Attorney Lee coming? He said he'll be here soon!
Yes, he called me saying he'll be here soon.
Aigoo, aigoo.
Aigoo, I'm a little late.
- You should've called us.
- Goodness.
Since Attorney Lee is here, I should go now.
President Choi, where are you going?
Why did you come so soon? Why not come in the morning?
Our conversation took longer than expected. I'm sorry.
I don't feel like drinking anymore.
Aigoo, President Choi, you should have just one more glass.
Just one more glass? Maybe I shall.
Cheers!
Gosh, you've got such a dangerous face. So dangerous.
All right, so what is it this time?
Well
Hello?
I checked the contents of your lawsuit.
Oh, did you finally get scared and call me about a settlement?
That's not it. I just thought I should return the favor since I got that from you.
Return the favor? Like what?
Lim Jeong Gyun, the guy who always wore a helmet.
I caught him.
[Jungbu Prison]
These bastards!
Because I'm not stepping in, they have no fear and keep stepping all over.
I'll destroy every single bastard who's been getting in my way!
Director Son.
Yes, Chairman.
I must break the finger that would hurt Lee Han Sin the most.
I'm talking about Cheon Su Beom!
- Warden Bae.
- Y-Yes?
- Make preparations for me to leave briefly.
- Okay.
Whether a temporary leave or a medical treatment, prepare so I can leave immediately!
Yes, understood, sir!
Yes
[Jeoksong Prison]
- Hyungnim!
- Oh, you're here, Gi Su?
- Please drink this.
- Give me a second.
No one will complain, even if you don't finish that today.
Hurry up, my arm hurts, my arm hurts!
Okay, okay.
This guy
What brings you to this area?
I can only see you here, Hyungnim. That's why I came.
It's hot, so drink it slowly.
Gosh, it's good.
I'll go and check up on the guys.
- Okay. Thanks for the drink!
- Sure.
If you don't want to see Lee Han Sin dead,
just keep living quietly, as though you don't exist.
Gosh, you've been both a correction officer and an inmate.
How could you be so naive when you've spent so much time in prison?
How could you be so trusting?
Gi Su, why would you
Me?
I was hired to kill you today.
I wouldn't know the reason why.
Why don't you ask the person who hired me when you get out?
Correction Officer!
Inmate 2777, wake up! Are you all right?
I heard a loud crash, so I went and saw him on the floor, passed out.
He must've hit his forehead on a rusty iron lever, but gosh
If not treated properly, he could get sepsis.
What? Last month, an article saying we neglected a sepsis patient caused a ruckus.
Let's move him to an outside hospital.

Ji Dong Man left the prison?
Correction Officer! Here, here, here!
I think these are drugs.
How do you film videos?
I know you all prepare escape routes to survive.
So, you're the president bitch who runs this sewer of a corner store.
Ji Dong Man.
The more I dig, it's clearer why I should bring them down.
I found it.
Can we stop his parole if we find proof that he left prison without authorization?
You really don't know where that is?
She's alive! She's alive!

Why wasn't the Chairman released last time?
Well
it ended up like that because of Attorney Lee Han Sin.
[Sangbu Mall]
Guardians of Justice Team ⚖️🛡️ @Viki.com
Lee Han Sin? Attorney Lee Han Sin?
Yes.
Attorney Lee Han Sin is a parole examiner.
The Chairman's previous parole review
ended up being suspended due to a trick he played during the review.
Oh, right. Lieutenant An Seo Yun, who came to your installation ceremony and caused a fuss,
also came to the review committee and testified.
What brings you here?
Please come in.
Attorney, you have a guest.
I guess even attorneys are struggling to get by these days.
I was a bit surprised when I heard the news
that you went from being a correction officer to an attorney
and now to a parole examiner.
You've lived quite diligently.
It's thanks to you.
Me?
I learned the disgusting truth that, as a correction officer,
I couldn't stop bastards like you who shouldn't be released early
no matter how hard I tried.
Don't try so hard.
You remember the story of the mantis who died while trying to stop a cart, right?
If you keep running wild like that, you'll really die.
I guess the cart was shaken a bit,
seeing how you personally came to threaten me.
It's not a threat.
It's a concern.
I came to tell you that I'm secretly cheering for you.
Even from my point of view,
my dad shouldn't be released on parole.
If you can stop his parole until he serves his full sentence, that'd be great.
Or if he ends up being imprisoned for life, even better.
[Parole Examiner Lee]
[Episode 8]
You've gone through a lot all this time.
You've done everything you can in the time you were given,
and now, only the decisions of the parole examiners remain.
[National Technical Qualification Acquisition Certificate]
Wait. As you all may know,
Parole Examiner Kim Nae Gyeong is no longer able to carry out her duties,
so a new parole examiner has been appointed.
Let's exchange greetings before the review.
I look forward to working with you.
Yes, I look forward to working with you.
I look forward to working with you. I am Attorney Seo Dong Hoon.
Yes, I look forward to working with you.
Oh, hello. I'm Attorney Seo Dong Hoon.
I look forward to working with you. I look forward to working with you.
So? Were you shocked?
Do you have to catch your breath?
It's too bad that we keep running into each other
when we're not very fond of each other.
I guess you're here as a yes-man?
Hey, you and I are on different levels.
Even if you act as Chairman Ji Dong Man's yes-man,
please handle the other cases fairly.
Yeah.
You do you.
All right, let's prepare for the review.
Okay.
Where is my seat?
Parole Examiner, it's over here.
Oh, that's my seat? Oh, okay.
Since all the members are present,
we will start the monthly parole review committee meeting for January 2025.
Administrative Secretary, please tell us what's on the agenda.
876 people applied for the monthly parole review for January 2025.
Yes
Yes
Please do that.
I'm sorry.
Yes, yes.
Finally, we will examine the case, which needs careful review.
We will summon Candidate 233 for an in-person review.
We summon Candidate 233.
We will give you a chance to give your final testimony.
Even parole examiners are human beings.
Please appeal to their emotions.
I'm raising a baby daughter in prison.
My name is Heo Eun Ji, Su Ah's mother.
If I am not released on parole this time,
I may have to put Su Ah up for adoption.
I was also an adoptee.
So, I don't want Su Ah to go through the suffering that I went through.
Please give me a chance so that I, her mother, can raise Su Ah.
Please, I beg you.
I'm asking because this is my first time here,
but does such melodramatic storytelling work here?
Isn't it overly emotional?
Candidate 233 obtained a Korean culinary chef license so she can
provide for herself and her baby after her release.
And I would like you to consider that someone has become her guardian.
But the license and the guardian all came after she applied for parole review.
It seems like she did so at the last minute to earn points for the parole review.
Doesn't it seem like that?
She hasn't even settled with her victims.
Yes, she hasn't.
That's because she had no family to facilitate the settlement.
Also, with the desire to compensate her victims,
she's been saving up prison funds and labor wages.
Please check the relevant documents.
It is a fact that she hasn't fulfilled her enforcement rate.
Yes, that's right.
There is a need to discuss whether
the length of her sentence was appropriate.
Seeing how the amount of damages wasn't that high and the fact it was her first time,
the three-year sentence given to her by the court is a bit excessive.
It's excessive?
Could you tell us what's excessive about it?
Candidate 233 ran away from home
to escape domestic abuse from her alcoholic father.
At the time, there were no social safety nets to protect a runaway minor.
In the end, she ended up getting involved in crime.
Also, during her investigation and trial, she couldn't receive any help from an attorney.
Yes, it's true that it's a sad story,
but don't you think it's not appropriate for us
to argue a court decision that's already past?
Of course,
we can't change the court's decision.
Also, we can't change the past events of Candidate 233's life.
However,
we can change the fate of her daughter, Su Ah.
Why would you bring up fate?
This parole review is her last chance to be released with her daughter,
so I give Candidate 233 a qualified opinion
for her parole.
Though I feel bad for her situation, rules are rules.
Since her recidivism rating is 3,
I give her a disqualified opinion.
Though she hasn't fulfilled her enforcement rate,
I find no problems with her being released early to care for her child.
I give her a qualified opinion.
Overall, she lacks the requirements to be released.
I give her a disqualified opinion.
This is my first time here, so is it okay to give my opinion at the front?
We currently have 2 qualified and 2 disqualified opinions.
So, my opinion will decide the vote, right?
- It looks that way.
- I see.
My opinion is
Su Ah, these clothes are gifts from the correction officers.
It's nice to wear new clothes, right?
All done. Let's take a look.
My Su Ah, you look so pretty.
She's so pretty.
Su Ah, let Auntie hug you from behind.
Su Ah, you can't forget Auntie 2218, okay?
No, just forget about Auntie.
Forget us all,
and have a happy, healthy, and wealthy life, okay?
Hey, once Su Ah leaves, you won't see her again.
Say goodbye.
Hey, wherever you go, don't complain about sleeping or eating.
Gosh, I got something in my eye
Su Ah, good-bye.
All right, it's time to leave now.
- Let's go.
- Bye-bye, Su Ah!
Bye-bye.
Su Ah, bye-bye.
Bye-bye!
Mr. Baek, are you crying?
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who wants to cry!
Gosh, what a hassle. Goodness
Stop crying.
I really didn't know it would turn out like this.
Why do I keep tearing up?
My opinion is
a qualified opinion.
Thank you!
Thank you!
- Thank you!
- You don't need to thank me like that.
Thank you!
So weird, so weird. I don't get these people.
My goodness.
Then, with 3 qualified and 2 disqualified opinions,
we'll conclude that Candidate 233 has a qualified opinion.
Thank you!
Attorney Seo.
Yes?
I guess you listened to my advice.
You stopped me to say this nonsense? I'm busy.
I was scared that you would give her a disqualified opinion because of me.
Hey, that's your misunderstanding.
You have no impact on my life whatsoever.
As a parole examiner, I made that decision
after assessing the candidate's situation
based on my own review standards.
What? Do you have anything else to say?
You don't, right? I'll be going since I'm busy.
Don't smile.
He's a funny man.
I can't tell what he's thinking.
Su Ah
Bye!
Bye! Live a happy life!
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I don't have to be separated from Su Ah.
If it wasn't for you all, I would really
Thank you.
You've gone through a lot, Eun Ji.
Su Ah, you've been through a lot, too.
You, too, President Choi, and everyone else as well.
Are we holding a funeral? Stop being so sentimental and leave!
Also, carry her bags and help her with the baby's jacket.
Are you crying, too?
I think she's mad because of me.
No, she rushed over here, saying you two shouldn't wait outside in the cold.
President Choi, I love you!
Thank you.
Shut up! Are you all going to live here?
- Don't keep the baby out in the cold, and come quickly!
- Come
Hurry up and open the door.
Here, come in.
Aigoo, aigoo.
She's so pretty.
Gosh, every time I watch this, I feel so
touched.
What are the chances that I would run into her like that?
[A child in prison]
All right
All right. I prepared a meal for you. Please enjoy.
Why would you do something I didn't even ask for?
I was so grateful, but this was the only thing I knew how to do.
Since you made it already, I'll eat it.
- Let's eat.
- Yes.
Hey guys, bring the baby-
Do you like it?
Yes, it's good.
Noodles all taste the same.
[One Bite Noodle House]
[Out of ingredients. Closed for the day]
We're closed for the day.
We're closed for the day.
I guess your business is doing great, as usual.
President Choi!
What brings you here?
Did you come for some noodles?
Looks like you're out of ingredients and closed for the day.
My gosh. Of all people, you're here.
Of course, I can make you a bowl of noodles!
Forget the noodles.
I came because I have a favor to ask of you.
A favor?
Of course, I should do it coming from you.
Gosh, I told you not to live like that!
How could you say yes without even knowing what I'll ask of you?
I've been able to earn a living thanks to you, President Choi.
Of course, I should do whatever it is.
What is it? Tell me quickly.
I'll send you someone.
Teach her how to run a business.
Well, that's not that difficult,
but who is it?
Someone who reminds me of my old self.
She'll work hard.
Since she has someone to protect.
Deal?
[Seoul Sangbu Police Precinct]
The only clue we have is that unregistered car and all the CCTVs are useless.
This is driving me nuts.
Should I ask sunbaes in other teams about someone who's good at tracking unregistered cars?
No, I'll ask.
Who?
Gosh, you're all working so hard.
Lieutenant An, here you are.
It's been a while. Nice to see you again.
- How can we help you?
- Why do you pretend not to see me? It's been a while.
What's this?
I guess you decided to come at me with numbers now.
No, I'm thinking of beating you up with the law.
What are you doing right now?
All right. Ta-da! We've come from Ojung Group's legal team.
Yes, I know, Attorney Seo Dong Hoon.
I worked so hard to catch Choi Jeong Hak, and you took him.
Citing presumption of innocence.
Then, Choi Jeong Hak died.
Wow, you have such a good memory.
But today, I came regarding your malicious dissemination of false information
and defamation of Executive Director Ji Myeong Seop.
I came to tell you that I filed a lawsuit against you, Lieutenant An.
This is something I need to see for myself.
That's right.
Here. Here, take this.
[Complaint]
I see. You're trying to shut me up with a lawsuit.
- Geez.
- W-What's wrong?
Her reaction is too boring.
Too boring?
Really? It's only starting to get fun for me.
- What?
- I dangled the discovery of Choi Jeong Hak's corpse case,
and you're floundering around in fear.
As if you're a criminal caught red-handed.
Again, again, again! You're saying words of defamation!
Everyone heard her problematic words, right?
Sue me as much as you want.
I'll investigate you as much as I want.
- I'll be going.
- Bye now.
Whoa, how could she be so bold when she just got sued?
Wow! Everyone saw Lieutenant An's attitude when she received the lawsuit, right?
Everyone saw, right? Everyone saw.
A noodle house?
A-Are you saying President Choi found employment for Heo Eun Ji?
Wow, I knew Heo Eun Ji could do it.
You know how pretty women are also good at cooking.
You know that.
Gosh, you seem so happy, Mr. Hwang.
Could you tell?
I don't need to eat this ramen. I can eat noodles.
- Hello? Yes, Lieutenant.
- But it's not good cold.
Something you need to discuss with me?
- Here.
- Okay.
Will noodles be enough for the people who helped you out?
But the noodles are tasty.
Okay. Ask them if they need anything else.
Okay.
Oh, it's out.
All right.
- Thank you for the food.
- Please.
I'm so grateful to Parole Examiner Lee Han Sin and President Choi,
but this is all I can do for you.
Oh, no, this is more than enough!
Gosh, it looks so good.
Thank you for the food.
You're welcome. If you need anything, please let me know.
By President Choi, does she mean Smile Cash's President Choi?
Yes. She also helped her get a job here after her release.
I guess she's pretty different from the rumors.
Well, you can only know a person after getting to know them.
Please eat.
Oh, you guys seem to be enjoying yourselves.
President Choi, come in!
Please come join us.
Are you doing well, Eun Ji?
I asked her to join us since she was about to have lunch soon.
You said you had something to tell me, Lieutenant An.
Shall we discuss it later?
Choi Jeong Hak died.
I thought I should tell you, Attorney.
- The cause of death is?
The autopsy results say it wasn't a homicide,
but I'm sure it was a homicide made to look like a suicide.
If it's a homicide, do you have any suspects?
Ojung Group's Ji Myeong Seop.
But Choi Jeong Hak's body was found in an unregistered car.
So, I'm stuck in my investigation.
An unregistered car?
Unregistered car
- Unregistered car.
- What, what?
If it's an unregistered car, aren't you an expert in that field?
It's true that is my expertise.
What? Do you want me to help you?
I mean, you should ask yourself if you want my help.
Do you want me to help you or not?
What did you come to leave with me? A car?
It's been a while.
- P-President Choi!
- Hey.
- How have you been?
- Doing well, all thanks to you.
But what brings you here? You didn't even call ahead.
I'm looking for something.
- Oh, you should first say hello.
- Sorry?
All right, this is the famous unregistered car businessman,
- Jobs.
- Regi.
("Jobsregi" sounds like Korean for "random trash")
President Choi, your sense of humor is
How could you call me random trash!
I'm pretty much like a revolutionary Steve Jobs,
creating the most cutting-edge system to make the illegal, unregistered car business world clean!
You're still all talk, I see.
Here.
I want to find the actual owner of this unregistered car.
He ran away without paying me.
There's someone who'd dare to recklessly run away without paying you, President Choi?
What a stupid bastard.
Sunbae, sorry to call you out during your work.
It's okay. Sit down.
I asked Jeoksong Prison for a list of Sunbaenim's visitors during his imprisonment.
Check it.
[Regular visitation - Jeoksong - 1/3/2025, 17:39-17:49, Son Eung Jun - Acquaintance]
Son Eung Jun?
Isn't he the Chief Secretary of Ojung Group?
Yeah.
There must be a reason why these bastards
are still so fixated on the Chief
after framing him for a crime he didn't commit.
Until the Chief is released no
if he could get released,
they'll continue to watch him.
But why do you think the Chief met with the Ojung Group
Director Son when he rejected our visitations?
That's what I can't understand, either.
There must be some reason.
I must hear it from him directly.
From whom?
Chief Cheon.
How will you do that when he keeps rejecting our visitations?
What can I do to make this happen?
Huh? This is a fake license plate made in a factory in Southeast Asia.
It's a fake license plate you can buy for 500,000 won.
- How do I catch this asshole?
- This asshole?
Seeing how there's no transaction record,
he must have bought it from a junkyard and put the license plate.
The junkyard that repairs cars meant to be scrapped,
attach a fake license plate and sell them-
Where's the junkyard?
Hey, Ju Mok. I'm investigating the unregistered car seller, so get over here.
Yeah, I'll send you the address.
24 Mi. 5883!
You sold this car! You'd better tell it to me straight!
Should I fold your junkyard and your life in half today?
Hey! I'll say it one more time.
Listen carefully.
24 Mi 5883!
Wait, wait! Stop, stop.
Why? Did you find something? Shit.
That's him.
Ahjussi, you have the transaction records, right? Hand it over.
Do you think he put his personal info on paper while buying an unregistered car?
You think he disclosed his phone number and talked to him?
Geez, that ahjumma
I hear you're pretty famous in this field.
You manage your customers well, right?
Pardon? M-Manage customers?
You know a secret way to contact him, right?
W-Well, I mean
Gosh, Mr. Baek. Go and fold him in half.
Fold him in half and wash him.
- Don't you shower? Don't you wash?
- Tell me quickly.
- Don't get near me. You stink.
- Tell me before I fold you in half.
24 Mi 5883. I just received an order to scrap it quickly because it's a suicide vehicle.
But there's something strange in it.
What strange thing?
Something the police might find interesting.
If you're curious, bring me some money and check it out.
24 Mi 5884. Where's that car?
- It's not here.
- What?
I didn't know you would actually come!
Damn it! What BS is this?
Gosh, I finally get to see your face.
I had high expectations because you kept hiding your face,
but in reality, your face is subpar.
So, it's you.
♫ I'm a typhoon who wants to wipe away the unfair world ♫
♫ Those steps of cowards busy running away ♫
Let's give this up.
♫ Before I know the truth, I will protect my own truth even in the face of the powerful ♫
Get out.
Oh, there she is.
Hey, Lieutenant An.
What's this?
And who is this?
The prime suspect in the murder of Choi Jeong Hak.
I'll explain later after I interrogate him.
[Sangbu Mall]
Sunbae, you know Warden Bae Han Seong, right?
- Warden Bae?
- Yes.
After he became the warden,
he's been laying low while busy being dragged around by Chairman Ji.
But don't you think we should watch him more closely?
Right.
He may fall back into his old habits and start acting up.
[Building a clean correctional facility where justice lives]
[Evidence: Witness testimony / CCTV / Item found on the scene - A pen containing drugs]
Yes, hello?
Attorney Lee, it's me.
I tracked down the unregistered car with Lieutenant An today
and she arrested the unregistered car buyer.
I thought I should let you know everything went well, Attorney Lee.
Things get resolved quickly when you get involved, President Choi.
I know these are empty words, but it's so nice to hear that.
I think I'll tell you the details in person. What do you think?
Oh, okay. Well
I had something to talk to you about anyway. Come on over.
Okay, then I'll head over right away.
Mr. Baek, let's go quickly.
Okay.
On January 6th, you bought an unregistered car at Donggan Junkyard.
With Choi Jeong Hak in the car, you entered Ilcheon Valley at 3:40 a.m.
You administered drugs to him there and lit the charcoal starter to make it look like a suicide. Right?
What BS is that?
All I did was buy the unregistered car at his request.
Strangulation marks on his neck and tons of abrasions and bruises all over that show it was a homicide!
You know you killed him.
I didn't kill him.
Lim Jeong Gyun,
you're here as the prime suspect in Choi Jeong Hak's murder.
I'm sure you killed Choi Jeong Hak with Ji Myeong Seop.
Ji Myeong Seop murdered my younger sister,
and you killed Choi Jeong Hak because he had proof of that!
No. I told you that's not true!
Yes, Detective Kim.
I called you as we planned.
What?
That was there?
Okay, hurry up and come back.
Come back?
The interrogation is over.
But will you be okay to leave right now?
If we found the evidence that Choi Jeong Hak hid,
Ojung Group won't leave you alone.
You don't know what's filmed there.
So, the evidence Choi Jeong Hak was hiding was a video, huh?
Why did you ask to meet me?
What could we possibly have to talk about?
That's right.
It wouldn't be you unless you looked at me with disgust and talked back to me, Choi Won Mi.
Ahjumma, you haven't changed.
If you're going to say such nonsense, I'll be leaving.
Let go!
You couldn't say a thing when my dad beat you every day. But I'm easy to dismiss, yeah?
Let go!
So? You remember how my dad used to take turns beating you and me, right?
Let go!
You hate my dad, too.
That's why you aren't dropping the charges.
I dropped the charges.
How could you drop the charges already!
He kept threatening me.
I need to live, too!
I need to live!
Will you get dragged around like a dog on a leash for the rest of your life?
Don't be like that, and let's get revenge together.
Are you crazy? Revenge?
The people who know Ojung Group Chairman Ji Dong Man the best are us two.
Everything from his true nature to the weaknesses he wants to hide.
Shut up.
Stop making a fuss and listen to me.
Make sure you cover up this incident.
If any word of this gets out,
it will affect not only you but also our entire group! Got it?
The death of a lowly girl is not a big deal!
Cover it up, cover it up!
Death?
Hey, stop being a nuisance
and drink your alcohol without causing trouble.
If you keep this up, things could all go downhill in an instant, like in the past.
Also, you better watch out.
[Year 2022]
Is this your first time in the VIP room?
It's also my first time at a nightclub.
That's nice.
Pardon?
It's nice that you're so innocent.
What is it?
Gosh, you've got such a good eye, Hyung.
I decided to give you something extra since it's you, Hyung.
- Should I sit next to you?
- Please just leave.
Okay, okay. Have fun!
See you.
I called you because I was bored to drink alone.
You can leave after we chat a bit.
You can leave whenever you'd like.
I'll just drink water.
Oh, you want to drink water?
Give me your glass.
I'll be leaving.
Leave if you can.
You've got good mental strength.
- Where are you going?
- Let go of me!
You wretched bitch!
What the
Is she dead?
Damn it
Director Son,
well, I
I have a bit of an annoying situation. You need to come.
You're here?
She's dead, right?
Is she dead?
Damn it, this is so annoying.
You brought a car, right?
Give me the keys.
A person has died.
So what?
Isn't it your job to clean up after stuff like these?
Hand over the car keys.
Please go home straight.
Just clean up this mess properly.
I'm leaving.
Hey! Hey!
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- Damn it!
Gosh, this is so annoying! Damn it!
Move!
In the end, he'll be released.
Just like how it's always been.
No.
I found evidence that he's connected to Choi Jeong Hak's death and requested an arrest warrant-
The warrant won't be issued.
All you've found so far is circumstantial evidence,
and you already know that it would be difficult to detain Lim Jeong Gyun
just for buying an unregistered car.
It was like that back then, too.
Back then, those bastards

I will make sure to find the bastard who did this to you and kill him!
I'll be leaving.
I'll find the evidence that you killed my younger sister.
I bet you won't.
You son of a bitch!
- Sunbae!
- Lieutenant An Seo Yun.
Follow me.
Geez, took you long enough.
An Seo Yun.
Do you know what age we live in? How could you use physical violence!
- I'm sorry.
- Forget it.
Take your hands off this case.
- Pardon?
- You're not in your right mind right now.
I understand since it's your younger sister. That's why you should be off of this case.
- Captain!
- If you don't want to face discipline,
do what I say.
You understand?
All the circumstances pointed to Ji Myeong Seop as the culprit. However-
It was after all the conclusive evidence disappeared,
and you probably had no choice but to watch him slip through the cracks of the law.
I also experienced that.
Chief Cheon, whom I followed and relied on like a father,
was framed by the Ojung Group.
But there was nothing I could do
as a correction officer.
Gosh, is it almost done?
Is that why you became a parole examiner?
Not too long ago, Ji Myeong Seop came to see me.
Ji Myeong Seop?
He made me an offer.
Even I don't think that my dad should be released on parole.
If you can stop his parole until he pays his due, that would be great.
Or if he can stay in there for life, even better.
You're thinking, "What is this guy plotting," right?
I'm really not plotting anything.
So, tell me.
I'll help in any way for a strategy that will be a win-win for both of us.
He said let's partner up
to bring Ji Dong Man down.
I don't know about anything else, but he seemed to mean that, so I'm thinking of accepting his offer.
Attorney Lee, Ji Myeong Seop is trying to use you.
He'll cast you aside when he gets what he wants.
I will do exactly the same.
I'll use Ji Myeong Seop to strike Ji Dong Man, then cast him aside mercilessly.
I'll bring down Ojung Group with the same method
that Ojung Group used up until now.
I'll join you.
When is Attorney Lee coming? He said he'll be here soon!
Yes, he called me saying he'll be here soon.
Aigoo, aigoo.
Aigoo, I'm a little late.
- You should've called us.
- Goodness.
Since Attorney Lee is here, I should go now.
President Choi, where are you going?
Why did you come so soon? Why not come in the morning?
Our conversation took longer than expected. I'm sorry.
I don't feel like drinking anymore.
Aigoo, President Choi, you should have just one more glass.
Just one more glass? Maybe I shall.
Cheers!
Gosh, you've got such a dangerous face. So dangerous.
All right, so what is it this time?
Well
Hello?
I checked the contents of your lawsuit.
Oh, did you finally get scared and call me about a settlement?
That's not it. I just thought I should return the favor since I got that from you.
Return the favor? Like what?
Lim Jeong Gyun, the guy who always wore a helmet.
I caught him.
[Jungbu Prison]
These bastards!
Because I'm not stepping in, they have no fear and keep stepping all over.
I'll destroy every single bastard who's been getting in my way!
Director Son.
Yes, Chairman.
I must break the finger that would hurt Lee Han Sin the most.
I'm talking about Cheon Su Beom!
- Warden Bae.
- Y-Yes?
- Make preparations for me to leave briefly.
- Okay.
Whether a temporary leave or a medical treatment, prepare so I can leave immediately!
Yes, understood, sir!
Yes
[Jeoksong Prison]
- Hyungnim!
- Oh, you're here, Gi Su?
- Please drink this.
- Give me a second.
No one will complain, even if you don't finish that today.
Hurry up, my arm hurts, my arm hurts!
Okay, okay.
This guy
What brings you to this area?
I can only see you here, Hyungnim. That's why I came.
It's hot, so drink it slowly.
Gosh, it's good.
I'll go and check up on the guys.
- Okay. Thanks for the drink!
- Sure.
If you don't want to see Lee Han Sin dead,
just keep living quietly, as though you don't exist.
Gosh, you've been both a correction officer and an inmate.
How could you be so naive when you've spent so much time in prison?
How could you be so trusting?
Gi Su, why would you
Me?
I was hired to kill you today.
I wouldn't know the reason why.
Why don't you ask the person who hired me when you get out?
Correction Officer!
Inmate 2777, wake up! Are you all right?
I heard a loud crash, so I went and saw him on the floor, passed out.
He must've hit his forehead on a rusty iron lever, but gosh
If not treated properly, he could get sepsis.
What? Last month, an article saying we neglected a sepsis patient caused a ruckus.
Let's move him to an outside hospital.

[Parole Examiner Lee]
Ji Dong Man left the prison?
Correction Officer! Here, here, here!
I think these are drugs.
How do you film videos?
I know you all prepare escape routes to survive.
So, you're the president bitch who runs this sewer of a corner store.
Ji Dong Man.
The more I dig, it's clearer why I should bring them down.
I found it.
Can we stop his parole if we find proof that he left prison without authorization?
You really don't know where that is?
She's alive! She's alive!
