All right, you're all set.

I really appreciate it.

Go get some rest.

SENDING MESSAGE

Thanks for everything.

SPORTS FIELD CAFETERIA

Oh, shit.

Our power just went out.

You guys good? Seems like a short circuit. I'll check it out.

OFFICER'S OFFICE

ID CARD

STORAGE ROOM

I'll need civilian clothes.

SUPPLY STORAGE ROOM

TOP, PANTS, WATCH, HAT, ETC.

CELL BLOCK A

CELL BLOCK B

Oh, shit.

How much longer should I wait here?

He could have been joking, right?

Well...

whether he comes out or not, I'm worried sick.

I have to find a way to sneak in there

and utilize the ventilation ducts.

Huh?

What is this?

Seriously?

Who left this out?

Shit! What the hell's wrong with these guys?

What's that?

Huh?

RESTRICTED AREA

There's something up there?

Dammit, Cheolhwan, I told him to round up the guys to catch those rats.

They're all over the place.

Oh, shit.

Oh, come on.

Huh?

Mr. Noh?

Good to see you. How you doing?

Oh. Hello, Officer Yang.

Hi.

-I'm just... You know... -You're here to see someone?

Yeah, I, uh... I missed the window to schedule a visit.

Oh, really?

Oh, dear.

I'll handle it for you.

-Come on. -Oh, no, no, don't worry about it.

I'll just... I'll come back tomorrow and do it.

Oh, just a minute.

Yes, Chief.

Hey, idiot. Weren't you on duty this morning?

Yes.

The inmates left the cleaning tools down there.

Rats running around the vents.

Next time, make sure they tidy up after themselves and turn off the lights.

Ah, you can't trust that asshole with anything.

It's not easy dealing with these inmates.

Yes, yes, of course.

-Hop in. -No, it's fine, really.

I'll just come back tomorrow, okay?

-Are you sure? -Yes, yes.

All right. Well, in that case, I can give you a lift into town.

No, I drove, so I have my car.

-Ah. -Well, I'll be going now.

-Have a safe trip back. -Thank you.

Ah, shit.

CIVIL AFFAIRS SERVICE

FOOD SUPPLY DELIVERY TIME

MAIN GATE 4:00

Sir, are you all right?

Is it your first time visiting?

I have a grandson who's locked up in here.

Gu Jiyong, that brat. He put us through hell.

Don't forget to take your ID back when you're ready to leave.

Number 242, please come get your ID card.

Oh, yes.

Oh, no! What am I going to do now?

-We told you before. -I'm so sorry.

You're not allowed to bring food in here but you decided to anyways?

All right, keep your lead. They're on your tail. Nice block.

Watch your side, left side.

-Let me know today's lap time later, okay? -Yes, sir. I'll do that.

Okay...

Hey, come here.

What if you add a special item to the race?

Huh?

Like, maybe you push a button and then banana peels fly out onto the track?

Then the drivers will start freaking out.

They'll crash, or maybe their cars might explode.

Yes, that sounds like fun.

I'm not playing around.

I'm sorry.

-The lap time. We got a new record! -What is it? Great!

You shaved off a second. You hear that?

A full second!

Let's go! That's what I'm talking about!

Great job! That was amazing!

It's a new record! One less second!

Sir, our new record is 1.3 seconds.

We'll rank at the top this season for sure.

If we manage our condition and avoid any major accidents, victory is ours.

Isn't it more fun when there are some accidents, though?

Uh, if our drivers were to get hurt on the racetrack,

then we'd be in serious trouble.

I thought you were serious about winning.

We are. We're here to win.

The whole team has been working hard and giving their best, just for you, sir.

I doubt you're giving it your all if you're this worried about accidents.

If you want to be victorious, you have to be willing to risk everything.

But, sir, if there is an accident out there

and one of our drivers gets killed, how would we recover from that?

Ah! The problem is clear now.

It's not a problem, sir.

You don't think their lives are worth sacrificing.

We're done here.

As of today, we are no longer your main sponsor.

What?

You seem to be enjoying yourself, Master.

Seems I've been focusing on all the wrong things.

Now I've finally found the real deal.

I'm glad to hear that.

May I ask what it is?

Sounds like fun, right?

That's exactly what I would expect from you.

Which means I need a list of clients connected to the Ministry of Justice.

I'll get the list and bring in a foreign security agency.

Nanny, you're the only one who understands my vision.

Hey, open the door. Now!

What about the study?

Did they seize everything?

Yes, sir.

Oh, son of a bitch!

Just hole up somewhere. Keep this to yourself.

-Understood. -I'm hanging up.

Warden, it's the--

-Ah, just tell me later. -No, he's already later.

No, I think we'll talk right now.

-Commissioner. -You look like you're falling apart.

-Is this job too much for you? -To what do I owe this surprise visit?

All of you...

get out!

-You, have a seat. -Yes, sir.

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing?

Wow. Did you get these awards just for housing all those prisoners?

-Yes, that's right. -That's admirable.

I thought they were just a drain on our taxes.

-Who... -Oh, this is--

Why don't you go and drink some coffee?

Uh, yes. I'll come back later.

Listen to me. Whatever this gentleman orders you to do, don't argue with it.

Just do it.

-What? -I'll go now.

KOREA CORRECTIONAL SERVICE GUAN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

I heard you have the most violent criminals in the country here.

Yes, but who are you?

Who do you think I am?

I beg your pardon, sir,

but may I ask what your relationship is with the commissioner?

Oh, none at all.

I don't really know him.

What do you mean by that?

I don't know the Commissioner General,

but I'm friends with the person who got him appointed.

I have many friends, you know.

Ah, I see.

So, what brings you here?

Well, is this awkward for you, having to show respect to someone younger like me?

Remember what the commissioner told you.

To take care of you during your visit.

That wasn't it.

The commissioner told me I should agree to anything you ask.

That's not what he said.

He said to do whatever you ordered me to do.

Take a look at this.

PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES

Doesn't it sound like a fun idea?

-Sure. However this is-- -Oh, I almost forgot.

-How should I say this? -Here.

I didn't have time to wrap them. I was in a hurry today.

And I don't like to waste time.

Each is worth 200 million, if I had to guess,

I'll give you five more if all this goes well.

It seems like you've been working really hard trying to get rich.

But you use public funds to invest in crypto

and bought coins from a bunch of scammers by mistake.

Right?

And you left all the money you pocketed in your study.

So it was easy to take from you.

Who told you about that?

Didn't I already mention? I have a lot of friends around.

As for the stuff they confiscated,

would you like them returned to you?

I can make it happen.

Or maybe, you care about these inmates after all.

No, I don't get attached to the inmates.
