If you do something like this
one more time, I won't let it slide.

Bribery really isn't working on you.

It's not enough, right?

Should I give you more?

You'll never leave this place

until you finish your sentence.

Will that really be the case?

I think you're going to
regret this very soon.

Mr. Cheon Su Beom.

We're the police. Come with us.

- What?
- What's going on?

What are you doing?

Sunbaenim!

What are you doing right now!

There must be some misunderstanding!

- What crime did our chief commit-
- Han Sin!

- Hyung...
- Don't worry about me!

I'll be back soon!

- Chief!
- Don't worry about me!

Sir.

Hey, you came. You guys can head inside.

Things are so hectic right now.

What do the police say?

They suddenly barged in,
saying it was an emergency arrest.

- I don't know much, either.
- What's the situation?

Do you think I could do anything about it?

In any case, I'll look into it.

But don't get your hopes
up, Correction Officer Lee.

I'll look into it, though.

Gosh, seriously.

How does it make sense that Chief
Cheon dealt drugs in the prison?

That's why you should know when to cave
in when you're up against a strong force.

Hey, you don't know
what's really inside a person.

Do you think the police would've
arrested him without any evidence?

Just like that?

What are you guys saying?

Did you see for yourself?

Did you see him smuggling
drugs with your own eyes?

I told you to be quiet.

You all know Chief
Cheon would never do that!

- Han Sin.
- Yes.

This doesn't seem like a simple situation.

I asked the security
team leader on the way.

This wasn't just based on
a circumstantial suspicion,

but they arrested him because
they obtained conclusive evidence.

They obtained conclusive evidence?

Inmate 4556, this is your doing, right?

What are you talking about?

Chief Cheon's false accusation.

It has to do with you.

He was being falsely
accused? I didn't know that.

Don't laugh, you bastard.

Chief Cheon would never get
involved in such vulgar corruption.

Are you saying my dad framed
Chief Cheon for what he didn't do?

Is that what you're suspecting?

I'm not suspecting that. I'm sure of it.

You're not as stupid as I thought.

So, why would he get in my
way, not knowing his place?

You know?

A cart the size of a
house was rolling along,

but a mantis stood
in front of it to stop it.

What do you think happened
to that fearless mantis?

It's pretty obvious what happened.

It was squished to death.

The lesson of this story

is if you don't know your place

and get in my way,

you die.

Oh, yeah?

That cart...

I'll stop it, no matter what.

Whether the cart stops or the
mantis is squished to death...

Let's see what happens.

Okay.

Let's see what happens.

Candidate 133,

Ji Myeong Seop, the son of Ojung
Group Chairman Ji Dong Man,

has been placed on the parole review
list despite lacking in enforcement rate

and remorse just because
he is the son of a rich family.

As his correction officer,

I submit this written opinion
stating that he is not fit for parole.

I already told you.

Parole Examiner.

I declare that Candidate 133's parole

has been approved unanimously.

(Parole Examiner Lee)

(Episode 7)

This car is an unregistered car.

Is this really a suicide?

Have you ever seen anyone get an
unregistered car to commit suicide?

Choi Jeong Hak isn't
the type to commit suicide.

The strangulation marks on his neck,
and his head wound look suspicious.

Send him to autopsy right
away. Tell them it's urgent.

- All right.
- Hello, sir!

Hello!

Captain, hello.

It's suicide, right?

We're looking into it. We'll
send him to autopsy and-

Then, focus on other cases
until the autopsy results come out.

Our team has so many major
crimes we need to handle.

- Wrap things up here.
- Okay.

That pathetic bitch lost her
judgment to gain a little bit of money.

(Law professor linked in
parole review corruption...)

I'm planning on installing
someone new to take

Professor Kim's place as parole examiner.

Install someone who
will do the job properly.

Yes, sir.

Myeong Seop's installation
ceremony is coming up soon, right?

- Yes.
- With past issues,

be sure to prepare well to avoid any
weird articles popping up, Director Son.

Will do.

Whether he's a good kid or
not, since it's about my son,

I can't help but worry.

(Sangbu Mall)

Wow...

Wow!

I can't believe this worked.

Did something good happen?

I won a hotel stay
and access to its buffet.

It was my credit card
company's end-of-year event.

I applied for it, and I won.

But I actually wanted the
laptop, the second-place prize.

It's great that you
even won anything at all.

Well, it's because I
don't have a girlfriend

to go to the hotel or the buffet with me.

And it's not like I can go
there with you, Attorney.

How much could I get
for this if I sell it online?

Ten million won?

Pardon?

Are you telling me to
post it for 10 million won?

Oh, no, it's not that.

I just found something strange
in this parole review application.

What is it?

She was a voice-phishing money handler.

But what's so strange about that?

Heo Eun Ji was a first-time offender

and the amount of damages wasn't that high.

In this instance, if she submitted a
petition and got help from a lawyer,

she would either be released on probation,

or, at worst, be sentenced
to less than a year in prison.

But it seems she received
an excessively long sentence.

This is Su Ah!

- How do you know her name?
- Look at this.

I saw her face recently in a documentary.

Gosh, I felt so bad that such a
young baby was living in prison.

But why is Su Ah's photo here?

Su Ah's mother is Heo Eun Ji.

(Changju Women's Prison)

You can put her to
sleep, right? Then, do it.

Inmate 1896, please put your baby to sleep.

Gosh, it's so noisy.

Child.

Mommy, Mommy!

Mommy's here. Mommy's right here.

Gosh, so loud.

Baby...

Your food is here.

Food's here. Food, food, food.

- Thank you.
- Eat up, Su Ah.

Thank you.

They gave us so few side dishes
today. It's not enough for everyone!

Don't spit on it.

All right, the rolled
eggs are one per person.

Look here! It's your favorite, Su Ah! Meat!

- Hurry up and feed her meat.
- Do you want to eat meat?

- Meat? You don't like meat?
- Hey.

Don't be picky with side dishes today.

I couldn't sleep
because you cried all night.

Come on!

She's eating just fine.

Seriously, you have no compassion.

It's because she's trying
to eat adult food as a baby!

Eun Ji, you should eat, too.

How could you ever be full when all you eat
are your baby's leftover rice and kimchi?

Hey, eat more.

She doesn't even do labor
because she has to watch her baby.

Of course, she wouldn't be hungry.

Shut your trap.

Do you know that caring for a baby
is way more difficult than working?

You've never raised or given
birth to a child. What a stupid girl.

What? Stupid?

Inmate 1896, you have a consultation with
the classification chief after your meal.

A consultation?

Do you mean that, Chief?

Yes. I placed you on
the parole review list.

Thank you. Chief, thank you so much!

Don't get your hopes up too high, though.

You're lacking in enforcement rate,

and your visitation count is pretty low.

Not only that, but you don't have a
way to earn your living after your release.

Even if you are placed
on the parole review,

there's a high chance you'll
get a disqualified opinion.

Still, you're giving me a chance.

Thank you so much.

Su Ah will be 18 months old next month.

According to policy, she
has to leave the prison.

If you don't pass this parole review,

do you still not have
anyone to take care of Su Ah?

Eun Ji, perhaps you should
consider putting Su Ah up for adoption-

No.

Never.

The chances of you passing the
parole review are realistically low.

And even if you get lucky and
are released on parole with Su Ah,

how will you provide for her?

I think it's better for both you and Su Ah

to just make up your mind
and put Su Ah up for adoption.

No, I can't.

Don't just keep saying no.

I can raise her well.

No matter what I need to do,

I'll make sure to raise her.

Seeing how she was
placed on the review list

despite not fulfilling
her enforcement rate,

it appears the inmate
has a strong desire to be

released on parole and
raise her child herself.

Then, you should help her out, Attorney.

Don't you feel sorry for her?

Just because I feel sorry for her...

Wait, wait.

H-Here. Take this hotel and
buffet coupon worth 10 million won,

- and please help her out.
- Wow.

I don't accept solicitations.

Gosh, it's not a solicitation. I'm
just saying we should go together.

Gosh, don't be like that and help her out.

I was going to visit her and ask
her about her situation anyway.

I feel like I shouldn't go
empty-handed since she has a baby.

What should I bring?

You're thinking about bringing a gift?

Don't you think cash is the best gift?

Cash?

Yes.

I came for a parole preliminary
hearing for Inmate 1896.

Su Ah, you should say thank you.

I'm sorry. You even
bought a gift for Su Ah.

Because Su Ah was born and raised here,

she's a bit scared to see
a man for the first time.

That's all right.

Inmate 1896, your current situation is

so lacking in requirements
that it's almost strange

that your name was
listed for parole review.

Did you know that?

Yes. The classification
chief also said the same.

Parole Examiner, I won't be able
to live if I'm separated from Su Ah.

So, please-

I can't give you a qualified opinion

just because you are in
an unfortunate situation.

Therefore, let me ask you a few questions.

How did you end up participating
in voice-phishing crime?

I ran away from home

when I was in high school.

(Sangbu Station)

I ran away to escape from my hellish home.

But once I was outside,
I didn't know what to do.

I was cold and hungry,

and ran out of money...

Then one day...

Hey.

I happened to meet Gyeong Min.

Did you run away from home?

Why are you so surprised?
It's written all over your face.

Thanks to Gyeong Min, I was
able to have food and housing.

He also introduced me to that job.

You probably won't believe me,

but I really didn't know
it was voice-phishing.

Show me your ID.

I thought it was just a legitimate
part-time job of delivering money.

- Don't you know this is voice phishing?
- I was just stupid.

I did the test...

And...

There are two lines. You're pregnant.

I'm pregnant?

Medical office?

We have an inmate who needs to be examined.

What's wrong? Are you
feeling pain in your belly?

Yes.

If it hurts, ask them to
excuse you from labor.

It's okay.

Your baby can't rest because of you.

Hey, did you make a
nickname for your unborn child?

Yes, it's Eomsal.

Gosh, how could a baby
overreact when it's in your womb?

No, it means, "Don't live like your mom."

It really wasn't easy to
live in prison while pregnant.

Hey! You said your
due date is still far off.

Why are you groaning all
night and keeping me awake!

Hey, move.

Eun Ji, what's wrong?
Are you in pain? Eun Ji...

Oh, my God, what's this!

Hey! Hey! Correction Officer!

Hey, Eomsal is-No, a
baby is about to be born!

Over here!

My body wasn't in a good condition,

so I ended up going to a
hospital outside of the prison.

- Push!
- My angelic Su Ah...

is unfortunate to meet a mom like me.

Heo Eun Ji, you were a first-time offender

and your amount of
damages wasn't that high.

If a family member or a
friend submitted a petition,

you could have received a reduced sentence.

I don't have any family or friends.

What about the father of your child?

After I was arrested,
I lost contact with him.

You didn't hire an attorney?

The police officer told me
I would be released quickly

since it was my first time, and

I didn't know I was committing a crime.

That's why I didn't hire one.

Parole Examiner, is there any
way for me to be released on parole?

It won't be easy.

There are a lot of
things for you to prepare

and even if you prepare all that,

there is no guarantee you
will be released on parole-

I'll do it.

If I can just leave here with my Su Ah,

I'll do whatever it takes.

If you obtain a license

and show that you've prepared
to earn a living after your release,

it will help your parole review.

- What book is it that you're lost in it?
- Sorry?

You've been feeding Su Ah only
rice for a while. She'll choke like that.

Oh, Su Ah, I'm sorry. I was distracted.

You looked so down in case you'd
have to put your daughter up for adoption.

Your face has gotten a
lot brighter these days.

I found a way not to be
separated from Su Ah.

A parole examiner said he would help me.

Oh, really?

But didn't you say parole was
going to be difficult for you?

But still, I'll try everything I could.

If I put my Su Ah up for
adoption without trying anything,

I think I'll regret it
for the rest of my life.

If I obtain a license, it'll
help my parole review.

Really?

Hey, hey, you should study.

Su Ah, Auntie will take care of you.

Acting like giving birth in prison
is something to boast about.

Had I known, I should have gotten
pregnant before coming in here.

Shut the fuck up!

Hey, you think just
anyone can get pregnant?

You have to be chosen
by the goddess of birth.

Freaking out when you
don't even have a husband.

She doesn't have a husband, either!

It seems Eun Ji, I mean, Inmate 1896

really didn't know she
was participating in a crime.

At first, I suspected
that she may be acting.

But after watching her here,
I realized she wasn't acting.

She cried a lot because she felt bad
for the victims who were hurt by her.

Stop right there. Stop! Don't worry.

- Is this not good, either?
- Unni.

Is this really okay?

What do you mean?

I don't think you should do
this commercial as an actress.

Yeah, Unni. I don't think
this is a good idea, either.

What's wrong with a hemorrhoids commercial?

Is there a law that states an actress
shouldn't do hemorrhoid commercials?

There isn't, but you should
think about your image, Unni.

Does your image feed you?

I don't know when Ji Dong
Man will try to stop me.

I need to earn as much as
I can while I still can. Okay?

Hemorrhoids, stop right there!

Even actresses are afraid of hemorrhoids.

However, fear no longer.

Bringing justice to your
hemorrhoids, Chi Jeong. Chi Jeong.

Why isn't anyone here?

- Isn't this the location?
- Unni, just a moment.

A passionate affair?

No, remember this.

Chi Jeong is a hemorrhoid medication.

- Is it funny?
- Oh, okay.

What's up?

The shoot was canceled.

How could they suddenly cancel
the shoot without any prior notice?

The thing is...

The thing is?

What the hell? What did you do?

Seeing how angry you are,

I guess you heard your
commercial was canceled.

Don't get worked up
already. This is just the start.

From now on, you won't get any roles
in commercials, movies, or dramas.

Why are you doing this to me?

You really don't know?

Because you delayed dropping charges,
I have to rot in here for another month!

You did that without being
prepared for something like this?

This is my final warning.

Hurry up and drop the charges
before you fall any further.

- Warden Bae.
- Yes?

Are you behaving these days?

- Pardon?
- You haven't forgotten

how you became the warden, right?

Of course not!

24 Mi.

It was 24 Mi 5883! I found it!

Is that it?

Yes, it passed through
this way around 2 a.m.

and passed through the
other direction around 3:15 a.m.

It wasn't caught in the next CCTV?

Yes.

What's the distance from here to there?

It's about 5km to the next CCTV.

That means the site where
Choi Jeong Hak was murdered

is within a 5km radius from here.

But we checked the
autopsy results together.

Though there are
strangulation marks and bruises,

the direct cause of death was
from carbon monoxide poisoning.

There are no signs of homicide.

Wait for me.

Aigoo.

Wow, she's so cute.

It would've been bad if I
listened to you, Mr. Hwang.

I know.

If you gave her money, she'd be
dancing with cash instead of a teddy bear!

Goodness, seriously.

It's sad that cute Su Ah has
to separate from her mom.

After meeting her personally and hearing
her story, I did feel sorry for her.

If she had received help
from family or an attorney,

she could have reduced her sentence.

And if she had, they could
perhaps be living together elsewhere.

That's why you should
help them out, Attorney.

It will be difficult for me to do alone.

What should I do to help my Su Ah?

Why are you suddenly
calling her your Su Ah?

Yes, that's right, my Su Ah.

I asked you what I should do.

First, give me your phone.

Oh, okay.

I wonder what she's doing right now.

Where are you going?

Attorney Lee, welcome.

You sat down already.

I finished looking over the contract.

Finally.

Wow. Did you finally sign the contract?

I felt like a few things were
missing from the contract.

I added a few special
terms. Please take a look.

Attorney Lee, why are you doing this to me?

I mean, it's so difficult trying to
get that small building from you.

How much do you want? How
much more do you want? Tell me.

Please take a look at the contract.

(Visit 4 times, register as legal guardian)

What's this? You want me to
become someone's guardian?

Heo Eun Ji? Who's Heo Eun Ji?

She's an inmate at Changju Women's Prison.

An inmate?

So, you're asking me to look after
some random stranger in prison?

No.

All you need to do is just lend Heo Eun Ji

your name during her parole review period.

It's something like acting as a puppet CEO.

How could you tell a CEO to act as
a puppet CEO? Puppet CEO, my foot.

Well, since there's no change
to handing over the building,

so I don't think I'd be losing anything...

Are you sure I only need
to lend her my name?

(Seoul Sangbu Police Precinct)

Name, Choi Jeong Hak.

Age, 27 years old.

Occupation, a nightclub marketing director.

You admit to taking and
providing drugs to club VIPs, right?

You know why I'm so
interested in you, right?

What does Choi Jeong Hak
have to do with the Ojung Group?

Why do you think that?

The attorney with him is part of
Ojung Group's legal department.

You are...

suspecting me of being a murderer, right?

An Da Yun, who died in the VIP room.

She's my younger sister.

Why are you speaking down to me?

Just because I went to
the nightclub that day,

is it okay to speak down to
me and treat me like a criminal?

Do you have evidence
that I killed your sister?

What were you doing?

Can't you tell?

I was digging through all of Choi Jeong
Hak's belongings, hoping to find something.

These belong to Choi Jeong Hak?

Yeah.

What a weirdo.

Why?

I mean, a collaboration between
Christianity and Buddhism?

That's so contradictory.

Maybe he believed in both since
he's committed so many sins.

Yes, this is Lieutenant An Seo Yun.

He entered the country?

Thank you for letting me
know, even though it's late.

Yes.

Entered the country?

Who did?

Ji Myeong Seop. He
came back three days ago.

Wait, you were keeping track of Ji
Myeong Seop's immigration records?

Please clean this up for me.

- Where are you going?
- Choi Jeong Hak

died as soon as Ji Myeong Seop came back.

Do you think it's a coincidence?

(Congratulations to Executive Director
Ji Myeong Seop on his installation)

Executive Director,
congratulations on your installation.

Congratulations on your installation!

Oh, yes.

Yes, thank you.

What is all this? We're not gangsters.

I'm different from my dad.

There must've been a
misunderstanding at the secretary's office.

I'm sorry for having busy board
members come out here like this.

My apologies.

I am so inadequate, as you can see.

I look forward to working
with you. Thank you.

Let's go.

Mr. Ji Myeong Seop.

Executive Director Ji Myeong Seop.

You remember me, right?

I've eagerly waited for you to return.

How come you haven't given me a call?

What are you so busy with?

Didn't you kill Choi Jeong Hak?

Drug dealer Choi Jeong Hak

was found dead as soon as
you returned, Ji Myeong Seop.

Isn't the timing a bit too convenient?

Many people are watching. We should go.

Do you know Choi Jeong Hak?

When did you decide to return?
Please give us a statement.

Are you a police officer?
Please identify yourself.

Do you suspect Director Ji Myeong Seop
to be involved in Choi Jeong Hak's death?

I merely came to verify
the facts related to the case.

Nothing's been confirmed yet.

However, from my experience,

those who avoid a response
like this tend to be the culprit.

Are you a police officer?
Please reveal your identity first.

Please give us a more detailed statement.

Please give us a statement.

Director Son.

I guess you don't want to work with me.

Would you have handled
business like this if it was my dad?

Would you have let that
police bitch talk like that?

Is it true?

What?

Are you involved in Choi Jeong Hak's death?

How dare you interrogate me?

What if I am involved?

What will you do if I am involved?

Isn't it your job to make
me irrelevant, even if I am?

Hey, Lim Jeong Gyun.

You better answer my questions honestly.

Who killed Choi Jeong Hak?

What is this madness?

What's with this fiasco as soon
as you arrive? Are you all right?

- Attorney Seo.
- Yes?

Prepare to file a lawsuit.

A lawsuit, all of a sudden?
Who are you suing?

Who do you think?

The police bitch who lost
it over her sister's death.

My ceremony was ruined
because of her. Should I let it go?

Won't I be a pushover if I did?

Yes, you'd be a pushover if you did.

Defamation and spreading
false information. What else?

Anyway, sue her for
everything we can. Got that?

I asked if you got that!

Yes, we'll sue her for whatever we can.

Are you sure I only need
to lend her my name?

You should still meet her at least once.

Why are you changing your words?

Even puppet CEOs have
to go in for an interview.

I have no idea what I am doing here.

Let's go.

(Changju Women's Prison)

It's cold.

I'm Choi Hwa Ran. I'll be your guardian.

I told the correction officer that I had
no interest in putting her up for adoption.

I'm your guardian.

Obviously, you'll be that kid's guardian.

You will...

really be my guardian?

Don't cry.

I hate it when people cry.

Thank you.

You don't need to do this.

I'm only doing this
because I kind of need to.

Still...

still, thank you so much.

I said, don't cry!

If you keep crying, I may change my
mind and not become your guardian.

What is that?

- Sorry?
- That scar on your hand.

What is it? It looks like
you've had it for a while.

In the past...

my dad...

The man who was supposed to be my dad

was a severe alcoholic.

He was always drunk

and beat me any chance he got.

When I was in 12th grade,

I learned that I was adopted.

After that, I ran away
from that hell of a home.

What about the child's father?

I can't get in touch with him.

Tell me.

Tell me that bastard's
name and phone number.

Mr. Baek, give me something to write on.

Correction Officer, please give me
something to write with here. Like a pen.

Write it.

- Mr. Baek.
- Yes.

Find this bastard.

Report to me what kind of
asshole he is and what he's doing.

Also, don't forget to
send the guys on schedule

- as Attorney Lee requested. Okay?
- Okay.

(Changju Women's Prison)

Just like me coming today,

employees working for President
Choi will be coming by for the time being.

The visitation count also plays
a factor in your parole review.

Though it may be a bit
awkward and uncomfortable,

don't mind me and keep on studying.

Aigoo!

Happy? Happy?

Visitor for Inmate 1896.

Who are you?

W-We are employees under President Choi.

M-My name is Park Beom Seok.

Why are shouting? The baby will get scared!

My name is Kim Ji Hoo.

You're pretty.

She's so pretty.

We could have a baby that pretty
when we get married, too, right?

Gosh, you're so silly!

(Inmate Investigation Record
- Visitation Count: 3 -> 4)

I'm here.

Did you really kill Choi Jeong Hak?

Is that why you called for me?

Dad, it's no big deal.

What's the big deal
about a guy like that dying?

That bastard would've blocked my
path and the company if I left him alone.

It's better to get rid of him early on-

Director Son.

(A mysterious incident coincides
with the return of a chaebol heir)

It's that police bitch yapping
without any evidence!

The brainless pigs and dogs yapping

will quiet down if you
just give it a few days.

I did everything in my power
to cover up your killing that girl

by overdosing on drugs at the nightclub,

and you caused trouble
as soon as you came back?

Are you out of your mind?

I built Ojung Group from the
ground up from Busan to Seoul,

working tirelessly to the
point of wearing out my joints.

If anyone is a hindrance to
my company, I will cut them off

even if it's my own son. You got that?

All right, let's start the mukbang
right away. Please bring it.

Here is the five-star
Chinese food you ordered.

Gosh, the broth is...

You have to see this.

Why would you eat this?

Why did you come out already?

Did you get in trouble again-

You guys must be drunk.

You think this is a taxi?
Hurry up and get out.

She doesn't look like you.

That kid was okay-looking
because she took after her mom.

That's a relief.

What are you bullshitting
me about, ahjumma?

Hey, you know Heo Eun Ji, right?

- Do you know her or not?
- I do.

Did you know she had your child?

Pardon...

Pardon?

I didn't know, I didn't know!

You didn't know? You really didn't know?

- I really didn't know!
- Hey, you bastard!

Are you proud that you
didn't know she had your child?

Is that something to be
proud of, you bastard?

I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'm sorry.

Shut up!

Go over there already.

Su Ah, did you see Auntie score?

Why are you so pretty?

How much prettier will you be tomorrow?

Inmate 1896, Inmate 1896!

Inmate 1896.

Eun Ji, it's here. This came for you.

I felt like the sender's name was familiar.

This is the name of Su Ah's father, right?

Gyeong Min?

Yes.

I couldn't believe that I had a daughter,

but I was really happy.

With your permission, I'll take
care of our daughter Su Ah.

Let's talk on the phone first. Call me.

Parole Examiner, I received this from Oppa.

Oppa says he was really worried
because he couldn't get in touch with me.

And he says he cried because
he felt like this was all his fault.

So, have you talked to him on the phone?

Yes.

You trust Gyeong Min, right?

Yes.

But Gyeong Min introduced you to
the voice-phishing money handling job.

He says that he didn't
know about it, either.

You'll probably realize
it if you meet Oppa,

but he's really nice.

And since Oppa says he
will take care of my Su Ah...

But still, you should focus on
preparing for the parole review now.

Leaving this place with
Su Ah is most important.

Wow. There's nothing
you can't do, Attorney Lee.

You're smart and handsome, and
you also know how to make coffee!

Gosh, why would you make
your own coffee? It's so much work.

We could just buy coffee.

The coffee you make tastes better.

- Please have some.
- What a nice picture you make.

Here.

The taste of coffee is pretty
much the same everywhere.

- How is it?
- Oh, it's so, it's so...

In any case, you said you wanted
to check something urgently.

What is it?

- Your feelings.
- My feelings?

Did you decide to become
Heo Eun Ji's real guardian

instead of a puppet CEO
helping her parole release?

Enough with the cringey talk.

Aren't you curious about me finding
the father of Heo Eun Ji's child?

Yes. What kind of person is An
Gyeong Min, Su Ah's biological father?

The thing is...

something about him seems off.

I finished writing it.

You wrote five lines.

Is it true you didn't know the job you
introduced her to was voice-phishing?

Yes, if I knew it was illegal, I
wouldn't have told her to do it-

Are you sure you're not
connected to those guys?

Of course! I have my own
job! You saw me earlier.

Though driving around hostess bar
girls isn't exactly a job to be proud of...

Anyway, all I did was

introduce that job to Eun Ji because
a customer said it was an easy job.

So, who would've known
that would happen to Eun Ji?

I should've looked into it more!

There's one last question.

You said you would take
care of your daughter Su Ah.

Do you mean that?

Yes. Since she's my daughter, I
should take responsibility for her.

I really do love Eun Ji.

Once Eun Ji is released, the
three of us will live together.

Hey, let's rewrite your letter.
How could you write only five lines?

And write neatly, too.

Be sincere and add some more content.

- You got that, right?
- Yes.

Send it right away on your way home.

- Go visit her right away. Got it?
- Okay.

Okay.

Thank you. Thank you for letting
me know about Eun Ji and Su Ah.

R-Rewrite it?

From what I can tell,
nothing seems off about him.

That's the problem.

I'm suspicious of him because
nothing about what he said seems off.

What do you mean by that?

Shall I say it's my hunch I've
developed from dealing with many

who declare they had no
money to pay me back?

Anyway, the fishy thing
about him won't go away

so I told my guys to keep
digging. Just so you know.

Well, okay, do that then.

Even if Heo Eun Ji manages
to pass this parole review,

her livelihood and well-being

need to be guaranteed after
her release to live a new life.

Well, that's not my business.

Attorney Lee, you just focus
on Heo Eun Ji's parole review.

Okay.

It's tasty.

Su Ah, your mom will be here soon.

Goodness, h-how did it go?

Can't you tell?

She obviously failed!

You're the failure here!

Don't be too disappointed.

And don't give up.

I...

passed!

- What?
- I passed!

I obtained the Korean
culinary chef's license!

She passed! She passed!

Good job, good job!

Wow! You sure studied hard!

Su Ah, look. Your mom passed!

Su Ah, Mommy passed!

I did well, right?

She passed!

(Ojung)

What the...

(Legal Team Leader Seo Dong Hoon)

What's this?

It was the Chairman's orders.

- I was fired?
- Yeah.

Fuck!

This is wrong! Honestly, this is too much!

In an age where human rights are a thing!

I won't stand for this. I'll report
him to the Labor Department.

No, I'm going to call my uncle!

You know my uncle, right?
Chief Seo? I'll really call him.

Stay seated there for a bit.

Why isn't he picking up?
Give me a moment. What?

Congrats.

Congrats on what?

Hey, Ahn Gyeong Min!

Oh, Hyungnim!

What is it? I'm struggling
with a drop in sales.

I called you so we can earn some money!

- Money?
- Yes!

Come.

I prepared something that reeks of profit.

- I've got a new job for us.
- Really?

My heart is racing with the
thought of smelling some hard cash.

What is it? Tell me
quickly! This is so frustrating!

Let's do a big one
together and flee overseas!

Why would we flee?

We can have a scapegoat to take the blame

while we get all the money.

Scapegoat? What scapegoat?

- Heo Eun Ji.
- What?

- You remember her, right?
- Yeah.

She's being released soon.

We get her on the day of her release,

use her for a bit and
send her off to prison...

Come on!

You think she'd listen to you
after getting burned last time?

Hyungnim, do you want to bet

whether she listens to me or not?

What is it? Looks like you
have a solid backup plan.

That stupid bitch had a baby in prison.

A baby? But supposedly, she's my daughter!

She's asking me to take care of her!

As long as I have her daughter,

that bitch has no
choice but to listen to me!

- She wants me to take care-
- Who are you?

Grab them.

Who are you?

It's not what it looks like!

No, it's really not like that!

Really, I wasn't trying to do this!

You're worse than a beast, you bastard.

Hey, you bastard.

Die.

Die, damn it!

You're worse than a
beast, you bastard. Die!

Bring me alcohol.

Die.

Just die.

Just die!

Just die, please!

(We respectfully express our condolences)

(Chief Mourner Choi Hwa Ran)

This won't even cover one month's interest.

What a pathetic life he's lived.

Hey, I guess his pretty daughter will
have to pay back her father's debts.

Why should I?

What did you say?

Why should I?

Why should I pay for the
money he wasted on alcohol?

For me, money is more
important than your father's life.

If his only daughter doesn't
pay for the father's debt,

then who will? Right?

Why should I? Why should I!

Get out! Get out!

I said, get out! Get out!

I'll call the police! Get out right now!

No!

A young girl...

is fearless...

and is pretty bold.

You show real promise.

I think you'll do well in this field.

You know?

How about you work under me?

Mr. Baek.

Yes?

Take the voice-phishing organization
info we squeezed out of him

and this animal and turn
them over to the police.

You guys take care of that guy.

- All right.
- Ma'am, I-

I'm really sorry. Really.

Please give me one more chance!

Ma'am!

Hey, Attorney Lee, it's me.

My hunch was right.

Heo Eun Ji's child's
father is out of the picture.

You make sure to have Heo
Eun Ji released on parole,

no matter what it takes. You got that?

(Changju Women's Prison)

I turned Ahn Gyeong Min over to the police.

What? Why?

Hey!

He was a member of a
voice-phishing organization!

He had you do those jobs. And when
you got caught, he used you as a scapegoat!

Can you really trust your
child to someone like that?

Why...

Why?

Don't lean on anyone.

No matter what anyone
says, steel yourself and fight!

That's the only way you can
protect your child. You got that?

Don't cry, and pull yourself together!

Correction Officer!
Open the door... please!

I thought she finally caught a
break when she found the child's dad.

But he got arrested by the police!

Gosh, that cursed bastard! Seriously!

Oh, no...

Su Ah, Auntie is here.

Cheer up.

This may be for the best.

Don't worry too much.

You know what they say
about a blessing in disguise.

I'm sure you'll pass the parole review.

Right, Su Ah?

She agrees with me.

Don't cry.

Let's go inside.

The great Ojung Group that my father built

from the ground up, from
Busan to Seoul, working tirelessly

to the point of wearing out his joints.

(Ojung Group CEO Ji Dong Man)

In the end, he'll pass it on to his
son with perfectly fine joints anyway.

What's happening with the
lawsuit against the police bitch?

Oh, yes.

I prepared a comprehensive lawsuit for
spreading false information and defamation,

and put in a claim for damages.

Everything should be completed in two days.

Ojung Group's legal team is amazing.

Oh, really? Thank you.

But...

Yes?

Why was Chairman Ji's
parole review unsuccessful?

Didn't you meet with all the parole
examiners and set everything up beforehand?

I did, but the thing is...

It's a bit of a long story.

What is it?

Gosh, you're making me so curious.

Oh, right.

Tell me. Why wasn't the
Chairman released last time?

What brings you here?

Please come in.

Attorney, you have a guest.

As expected.

I heard attorneys were
struggling to get by these days.

I guess it was true.

It's been a while, Correction
Officer Lee Han Sin.

(Parole Examiner Lee)

You decided to come at me with numbers now?

No, I'm thinking of
beating you up with the law.

A new parole examiner has been appointed.

Once Su Ah leaves, you won't
see her again. Say goodbye.

- It's been a while.
- You didn't even call ahead.

It's you.

Tons of abrasions and bruises on
his body that show it was a homicide!

You killed him.

Will you get dragged around
like that for the rest of your life?

I must break the finger that
would hurt Lee Han Sin the most.

He made me an offer.

I'm thinking of accepting his offer.
