The No Way Out: The Roulette episode 2 begins with the introduction of Guk-Ho, a serial rapist who killed his last victim. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison but served 13 years due to good behavior. Guk-Ho is set to be released in three days but has a bounty on his head.

What happens in No Way Out: The Roulette Episode 2?

In No Way Out: The Roulette episode 2, the masked man’s announcement of killing Guk-Ho for 20 billion won put the police in a tough spot.

It appears the cops try to find reasons to protect a criminal.

Joong-Sik and his team arrive at the prison to escort him out on his release day. Guk-Ho initially doesn’t understand why a team of police officers wants to send him to his house securely.
