## Synopsis

While choking him with a wire, Manager Kim questions Minho about Minji's whereabouts. Minho tells Kim about the gangsters who took Minji's body, stating that he doesn't know where they went. All the while Hyeri pleads to Kim to stop. She cries and then passes out. Finally, Minho tells Kim his crew only holds meetings when the crew head calls. In response, Kim asks Minho where he can find the head of his crew.

Mincheol, head of the KK crew, is dealing with a father who has failed to repay his loan. Mincheol states the 5th article of the loan agreement to him, reminding the father that his daughter would pay the price since he failed to pay it back. Behind Mincheol, two of his goons restrain the father's daughter. The father tries to reason with Mincheol. However, Mincheol beats the father and asks him to take her place if he doesn't like it. The father flinches and stays quiet. Finally, the goons take away the daughter while Mincheol forces the father to watch. However, someone rings the doorbell.

Mincheol sends one of his goons to answer the door. However, the goon becomes distressed after the front door is unlocked. They see the intruder and try to intimidate them. Unfortunately, the intruder responds by beating him up. Mincheol, the father, his daughter and the other goon still within the closed room hear the severe beating. After the sounds subside, Mincheol signals his last goon to grab the metal bat. The door opens, and the goon swings with full force. The daughter tries to warn the person on the other side, but it's too late. However, that doesn't matter because the intruder, Manager Kim, uses the goon from before as a shield. Kim immediately begins tagging the goon with a bat, pulling his rope from within the suit. Using the string, Kim ties the goon by the ankles and pulls him up using the chandelier as an anchor point. Finally, Kim gets to the point, questioning the now upside-down goon about Minji's whereabouts. The agitated goon calls for Mincheol; however, instead of aiding his subordinate, Mincheol decides to escape through the window.

Mincheol runs frantically down the road, wondering if Kim was a cop and if someone had ratted them out. But he trips on a thin wire and crashes onto the asphalt. He enters a frenzy, shouting for who had set up the wire, but then he sees something terrifying. In front and behind him were walls made of thin wires. Mincheol realises that he is screwed, and Kim catches him.

Mincheol is questioned and beaten by Manager Kim, who tied him down to a chair. Mincheol reveals to Kim that the gangsters who took Minji only contact them on telegram and when they're needed. Mincheol explains that he can't talk to them unless they invite him to a chat room. He also says they delete every chat room as soon as the conversation ends. Kim asks Mincheol how he contacted the gangsters earlier.

A short flashback shows Mincheol contacting the gangster boss about Hyeri's request. After hearing about Gangchan Ju, Chairman of Juyoung Construction, the boss becomes excited, opting to be there himself.

We return to the present, where Mincheol clenches his teeth, remembering the events from the flashback. In response to Mincheol's silence, Kim grabs him and puts him in an armlock. Mincheol, feeling the pain in his shoulder, pleads with Kim, saying he would sue Kim for this. In response, Kim asks whether his actions are allowed, breaking Mincheol's arm. After that, Kim continues questioning the legality of Mincheol's actions. Mincheol then says to Kim that they are minors and are guaranteed forgiveness by the law. Finally, Kim kicks Mincheol's face and begins to unpack his briefcase. Kim pulls a pistol from the case and fits a silencer to it. He then monologues about titles given to different groups of people who lose someone, finishing by saying there is no title for a parent who loses their child. Mincheol freaks out but remains silent, seeing the weapon, but that's when Kim approaches and points the gun at him. Then, Kim says he likes Mincheol's expression about protected minors and that he could call himself a lawless middle-aged man. Instantly, fear and hope flood Mincheol's mind. He then reveals to Kim that he isn't a minor, thinking Kim wouldn't because he'd be a criminal.

But that's when Kim fires a round from the silenced pistol through Mincheol's leg. The father and daughter watch in shock as Mincheol rolls around, screaming in agony. Kim discloses to Mincheol that he won't kill his goons, family and friends because he believes Minji is alive. He says to Mincheol that his fist is faster than the law. And that he is coming for the people who have laid a finger on his daughter. Finally, Kim tells Mincheol to reform and takes his phone. However, Mincheol's phone receives some messages from the gangster boss relating to Minji. The last statement says that he has confirmed that she is dead, and Kim reads it.
