A man may have a job. He may have a profession. This one has a vocation, a calling. An electrician by trade, he starts work at the state penitentiary maintaining the generators, and graduates to executioner, but after 12 years the state abolishes the death penalty, and he is made redundant. It is felt that due to the sensitive nature of his work it would not be a good idea if he were reassigned to other duties. As a consequence, he spends his time hanging out in bars philosophising. A man who has a true calling may find it hard to give it up, and that is the case here.
A murderer who escapes being tried for his crime on the most technical of technicalities becomes his first victim. Then a man and his mistress who have murdered the former's wife are acquitted, but they too face justice in spite of the not guilty verdicts.
Somehow you know this is not going to have a happy ending, you'd know that even if you hadn't seen one episode of this series before, but this one is poetic indeed.
