In Insider Episode 2, Yo-han gets admitted into the prison and gets gangsters as his cellmates. They bully him on his first day of arrival and beat him until he bleeds. Yo-han’s bullying continues when the thugs from the gambling house beat him for ruining their career and putting them in jail. They ask him for 1 Million Won every week as a payback, if not they will take his grandmother’s supermarket. He refuses to do either and gets beaten again.
The gang leader inside Yo-han’s cell gives Yo-han an offer to save his grandmother. The gang leader tells him that he doesn’t need to pay the money or worry about his grandmother if he can do a job. The gang leader wants to get close to Jang Sun-oh, the dean of the Seong-ju School who is a young and genius gambler. He holds the police and the guards inside his pockets. He doesn’t agree initially but when he finds out that her grandmother has been living with the fear of gangsters, he makes the deal with the gangster.

Seong-ju prison is not any normal prison. It is a big gambling house with three levels. In the first level, the prisoners gamble with cigarette boxes. The police guards scout the good players from the first level and make them play in the second level. The second level deals with real money and in this, the police guards also bet on the players. The best of the players get to play with Jang Sun-oh at the highest level. Big professors and businessmen play in the third level with the inmates.
Yo-han has started gambling at the first level and his aim is to reach the third level and get close to Jang Sun-oh. Yo-han still hasn’t been able to get a good hand in gambling. He has learnt to gamble with the Asian cards but the inmates play with the western cards. Jo Dae-ho’s men are still bothering Yo-han even after the gang leader made a deal with Jo Dae-ho. On the other hand, his grandmother is not safe either.
Insider Episode 2 Ending
Yo-han’s friend Hong Tae-sun calls his grandmother to meet at the judicial office and traps her in a net. Together with Jo Dae-ho, they murder Yo-han’s grandmother and frame it as a suicide. They did that to get the house deed but his grandmother had swallowed it before dying. Yo-han attends her funeral and confronts Tae-sun about her murder. Other than his grandmother and him, only Tae-sun and Dae-ho knew about the deed. Tae-sun agrees that he had planned it because he knew Yo-han was going to expose his uncle in the gambling case.
Prosecutor Mok meddles and stops their fight. He tells Yo-han that nothing is over and it is only a setback but Yo-han doesn’t trust him. He has lost everything because of Mok and now he has abandoned him as well. Yo-han is now determined to get revenge on all of them for ruining his life.
