(Episode 6)
It's a blessing...
that there is an arboretum...
near our prison.
What do you think?
Doesn't the phytoncide that the trees give out...
make you feel refreshed at your heart?
I like it.
I heard that trees...
give out phytoncide...
to drive harmful insects away.
No.
They do not give out phytoncide...
to drive away harmful insects.
It's a way of calling out to friends for help.
Acacia trees of North Africa...
secrete sweet sap to eliminate...
aphids on their trunks.
Their friend, ants, will smell the sap and come...
to eat all the aphids on the trunk of the tree.
The tree benefits because...
the aphids are gone. And the ants get the sap.
That's what they call a symbiotic evolution.
Isn't it quite a nice way of living for something...
like a tree that can't move?
It's not just nice. I'd like to be the tree.
You said you wanted...
to take revenge on Lee Jae Hwan.
Then I'll give him to you.
Is he the sap that you're willing to offer...
in exchange for the mite, Kim Sang Chun?
What do you say?
That sap is not enough.
I'd like the honey as well.
- The honey? - The VIP list...
that is in your possession.
Come on.
Do you think I'd have that?
Sadly, I've never had such honey before.
They call Sectors 1 to 7...
penniless sectors.
(A slang used to address the ordinary convicts)
It's a place teeming with inmates who don't even...
get paid 10 dollars a month.
Sectors 8 and 9 are called labor sectors.
They consist of inmates who can at least...
earn some money.
It's considered the middle-class sector.
And then...
Right. The last sector, Sector 10.
It consists of conglomerate families,
politicians, economic convicts,
drug-related convicts, and other well-off inmates.
They're all VIP members.
It's called the Special Sector.
It's them. I want you to hand over those...
in the Special Sector.
If I give you that honey,
what will you give me?
I'll give you that list of investors.
How do I know you have it, not Sang Chun?
Once you hand me the VIPs,
I'll give you that list right there.
On the way to the penitentiary,
there's a nice hangover soup restaurant.
Would you like some?
We should have a drink as well.
We'll clink only after...
the symbiotic evolution becomes a success.
Sure. That sounds good.
Hello?
Director Seon, it's me, Mo Yi Ra.
Excuse me for a minute.
Hello, ma'am.
I know it's sudden,
but I'd like to meet at 11am today.
Would that be all right?
Well, I am slightly time-crunched.
Please wait a minute.
Dr. Na.
I completely forgot about an important engagement.
Could the hangover soup take a raincheck?
What about the handover?
I'll call you once I'm done with the engagement.
I'll be there.
(Taekang Hospital)
I heard that Jae Hwan can receive a stay of...
execution of the sentence in two months.
Is that truly possible?
I don't mean to boast,
Regarding Assemblyman Kim Nam Jin...
and Chairman Song...
who are in this hospital's VIP ward,
I'm sure our president knows...
that I brought them here.
That's correct.
He is competent enough to create new illnesses.
He's been of great help for me, ma'am.
It's not that I don't trust you.
Like you saw at the car accident,
I just mean that Na Yi Je isn't an easy match.
On top of that, isn't the medical director...
of Western Seoul Penitentiary...
no longer you, but him?
I don't think you have enough trust in me.
Show me a plan that is worth believing.
Only then, I will trust you completely.
Chief Director Mo.
So Na Yi Je came to you first?
Yes.
He came to me...
and suggested that we get Lee Jae Hwan out.
So you colluded with Na Yi Je?
Yes, that is correct.
He made the suggestion.
In order to become the medical director,
Na Yi Je colluded with a gang boss...
who was serving time for attempted murder.
Isn't this enough to bring him down?
Afterwards, he can take...
his spot as...
No.
That cannot serve as concrete evidence.
It seems like...
that was recorded in a penitentiary.
Isn't it illegal to carry your phone inside?
Correct. But during special occasions...
Criminal Procedure Act Article 308, Section 2.
"Evidence that has been acquired illegally..."
"cannot be used before the court."
Based on this exclusionary rule,
that recording cannot be used before the court.
Did you not know?
If you didn't,
I guess it's your turn to be imprisoned next.
Aren't I right?
This is a footage of Na Yi Je's visiting...
Kim Sang Chun.
I wonder if it'll serve as solid evidence.
Is this the original?
The original is saved in the administration's...
computer at the penitentiary,
so I'll happily get another copy if you want.
What would you like in exchange?
To become the head of the VIP center...
at Taekang Hospital.
I'd like to serve there for at least five years.
I'll leave that position empty for you,
so make sure you bring Jae Hwan safe and sound.
One more thing.
During the investigation, you'll find a list...
of investors for a hospital...
owned by one of my family members.
I'd like to have it back...
without any duplicates.
If the case is handed over to one of our men...
at the office, it'll be possible.
All right.
Then we'll take the USB.
Be my guest.
I'm Lee Jae In.
Please take good care of my brother.
I am always at your service.
Congratulations.
Don't exaggerate over something so trivial.
What do you mean?
You became the head of this VIP center...
that only serves 0.001 percent...
of the VIPs.
This celebration is not enough.
Congratulations, Director Seon.
I mean, Mr. Seon, Head of VIP Center.
After cutting off Na Yi Je,
let's have a grand ceremony.
Then I'll...
What brings you here, Director Seon?
Well...
We came here to check on the patients...
whom we've granted stays of execution.
Mr. Choi.
Once a stay of execution is granted,
doesn't the police take over?
That's correct.
Sure, that may be true,
but things don't always work...
by the law.
We all need to help each other out.
You're quite a kind-hearted person.
So...
what kind of help are you...
and Chief Director Mo going to give each other?
Judging by...
where you came from, I'm pretty sure that...
you left the chief director's office.
Don't tell me that...
you weren't happy with my offer...
and decided to side with her.
Aren't you the one who broke our trust first?
Director Seon...
So what is it?
Is this some sort of a betrayal?
How could you call it so?
Isn't this what businesses are all about?
Let me know if you have a better offer.
Find out...
what card he's holding in his hand.
Share information with Na Yi Je...
and call Prosecutor Jung.
Yes, sir.
I think your plan to make them doubt...
each other's credibility worked.
We must make them totally distrust each other.
Whether it's about Seon Min Sik or Na Yi Je,
gather as much information as you can...
and find out what their weaknesses are.
Sir, Director Lee has figured it out.
- Will you be all right? - Why does that matter?
Taekang Hospital is one of Taekang's subsidiaries.
You may not be able to run the center.
They may offer something even better.
Pardon me?
I am still the medical director...
of the Western Seoul Penitentiary.
Whether Lee Jae Hwan can get out or not...
on a stay of execution...
will be decided in my hand.
So today's meeting...
wasn't about siding with Ms. Mo Yi Ra?
Was it about threatening Director Lee?
Charles Darwin said this.
"It is not the strongest who will survive..."
"but those who can manage change best."
(Building Owner Moon Pil Bo)
My gosh, Mr. Moon.
I've been meaning to visit you at the hospital,
but I've been busy.
Your son is doing well, right?
Are you kidding me right now?
- What is this about? - Don't you hear this?
I'm suffering from kidney failure.
- I must receive dialysis. - Sir, what is going on?
Must you ask?
What is this ruckus about? I'm ill.
- The medical director... - I'll die!
called patrol officers...
to drag my son out of the hospital!
I beg your pardon?
Dad!
- Sort this out now, - Let go!
or I'll expose how I paid you...
500,000 dollars and let you...
rent my building for free in exchange...
for getting my son out on a stay of execution.
- Let go! - Mr. Moon.
Hello? Mr. Moon.
Is there a problem?
- Na Yi Je beat me to it. - What?
You should get going. I'll take care of this.
I'm sorry.
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
No, I'm okay.
Miss!
- Help her up. - Yes, boss.
- Take her back inside. - Yes, boss.
Hang on, that girl...
Hey, come on. Take it out already!
You two are ridiculous.
I was wondering what you two were up to.
You were getting an IV in secret like a thief.
Gosh, how could you call me a thief?
I'm going to pay for this.
Even your salary is being seized.
You're practically penniless.
- Hand it over. Now! - Oh, okay.
Gosh, look at you two.
You obviously went for another round...
on Dr. Na's credit card.
You two drunkards kill me.
Well, I blacked out after the second round.
Gosh, good for you.
Wait, ouch!
- Stay still. - Oh, my goodness.
Ms. Bok, do you have a crush on me?
Do you want to get punched or what?
Maybe, in a way.
- Gosh. - Fine, I'll stop.
By the way, Ms. Bok.
When did Director Seon come yesterday?
He didn't come.
Why do you ask? Is it important?
Mr. Ko said that Dr. Na...
would totally get fired...
if Director Seon didn't come.
Why would Dr. Na get fired?
Hey, isn't it obvious?
Have you seen anyone that survived here...
after getting on the wrong side of Director Seon?
He can even get wardens fired.
He's obviously not going to...
approve of Dr. Na, who's a nobody.
But this time, it won't be easy for Director Seon.
Ms. Bok.
Do you have some special relationship with Dr. Na?
- What do you mean? - I mean, you keep...
siding with him.
What's your relationship with him?
Well, I just...
get a sense...
that he's not the type to back down easily.
Our new director, Dr. Na.
I agree.
"Our new director, Dr. Na"?
Okay, let's bet.
I bet my meal tickets...
for a whole month...
and my wrist that he'll get fired.
Your wrist isn't necessary.
Meal tickets for a month, deal.
- Deal! - Deal!
Do you think I came this far...
to catch someone petty like Lee Jae Hwan?
If it's not him,
then who made my brother disappear?
Hey! Bring Director Seon. Do you hear me?
Bring Director Seon!
- Keep it down. - Bring Director Seon!
Hey, Na Yi Je.
Until when am I not allowed to have visitors?
You ruthless scumbag!
Why can't I meet with my attorney?
Mr. Ham, please explain to this druggie...
why he's not allowed to have visitors.
You assaulted your caregiver,
and you've been exhibiting aggressive tendencies,
so we put you on lithium and carbamazepine.
- That's why. - But I'm fine now.
I won't even lay a finger on anyone,
so please move me to a different cell.
Can't you see that I'm begging you? You jerk!
He goes on like this all day and night.
We've been getting many complaints from inmates.
Send him to a cell where he can't bother anyone.
All right?
Got it.
Seriously?
For real, right?
Thanks, Yi Je!
What the... What is this?
This cell is more spacious at least.
Hey. Move.
My entire body aches. I need to lie down.
What did you just say?
I said, I need to lie down.
Move, will you?
What? What is this?
Everyone gets tattoos these days.
Hey, this won't make you look like a gangster.
Why didn't you get this colored?
Could you not afford it or what?
It's all black.
It's a snake!
How creative, you jerk.
Hang on. A black snake...
Are you in the Black Snake Gang?
Oh, gosh.
Boys.
- Yes, boss! - Yes, boss!
Hey, turn around.
Oh, that snake. The Black Snake Gang...
- Hey, come here. - We'll whack you!
Oh, no.
- Hey. - Don't! Go away!
- Na Yi Je! Na Yi Je! - Come here.
Hey! Help!
Na Yi Je!
Yi Je! Help me!
What kind of ruse are you cooking up?
That guy needs to get dialysis...
as he's suffering from chronic kidney failure.
How could you bring him back to the penitentiary?
The creatinine, urea, and uric acid levels...
as well as...
the electrolyte concentrations...
and pH level showed that he is...
in Stage Two of chronic kidney disease,
so we brought him back.
Is there a problem with that?
Why are you doing this?
From Lee Jae Hwan...
to the VIP list, you're getting...
what you wanted.
Why on earth are you...
stabbing me in the back like this?
Let me ask you the same thing, then.
You promised to hand Lee Jae Hwan over.
Why did you meet Ms. Mo Yi Ra?
Fine.
I met her because Lee Jae Jun, who had...
promised to make me the head of the VIP Center,
ditched me for you.
After all, I gave you the medical director position.
And I don't even have the right to do that?
On top of that, you dared...
to return the inmate...
I had sent away for treatment...
just to humiliate me!
So what?
Did you promise a stay of execution...
to Lee Jae Hwan before you came here?
Is that all you thought of me?
So you didn't?
If you thought like that, I will live up to it.
I'll hand over records of your visit with Kim...
to the Inspection Department,
and forget about our symbiotic evolution.
Director Seon.
The date of my visit to Mr. Kim was...
the 25th of last month.
The footage of inmate visitors are...
kept around for 30 days.
After those 30 days, they automatically get deleted.
And let's see. What's the date today?
Goodness, gosh, darn it. Today is the 26th.
Why are you standing around?
You should run over to check.
Do I look that stupid to you?
Do you think I didn't make a copy of that?
Yes, this is Lee Jae In.
Ms. Lee, this is Seon Min Sik.
Hello, Director Seon.
About that file on the USB I gave you before.
I need to send that to the Inspection Department.
I think I need to teach him a lesson.
What file on the USB?
What do you mean?
The footage of Na Yi Je conspiring...
with Kim Sang Chun.
I handed it to you a while ago.
I think you are mistaken.
I never received such a file.
What do you mean, you never received it?
I'm sorry, but I'm in a meeting right now.
Hello? Hello?
The acacia trees in North Africa...
stop secreting saps once the ants are...
finished catching all the aphids.
It's done with the ants, so they can get lost now.
Do you know what ants do?
They begin to breed the aphids that they catch.
They let the aphids suck out all the sap,
and leave the animals who nibble on the leaves.
Until when?
Until the acacia tree secretes sap again.
The symbiotic evolution of ants and the tree begins.
Give me the sap and honey.
Lee Jae Hwan and the list of VIPs.
Are those enough?
Oh, no. We need to change the rules a little.
Starting today, I mean, starting now,
the king around here is...
me.
(Doctor Prisoner)
You couldn't take care of this petty problem...
and end up aiming your knife at your family?
He's someone you cannot catch, Director Seon.
People like that plan out the whole thing...
and use people like Director Seon as a front,
so you want me to back down?
There is a bigger power behind Seon Min Sik.
I guess you came to me...
to get to them first.
He might not have the list of investors.
If I'm correct,
it's probably still in the prison.
