Yi-jae's ignorance of the prison's rules and his "prey" mentality make him a target. He is immediately set upon by other inmates. In a desperate fight for survival, Yi-jae's true personality—the desperate, broken man he was on the outside—becomes apparent. This incarnation is particularly cruel for Death to impose. Unlike his previous, fleeting lives, Yi-jae now has to endure the daily, grinding terror of a violent prison, knowing that if he can just survive four days, he might earn a true second chance at life.

Episode 3 represents a massive strategic pivot for Yee-jae. Having previously failed to stop the deaths of a billionaire heir, a daredevil, and a bullied high school student, Yee-jae begins attempting to outsmart Death's system. The Reincarnation of Cho Tae-sang
