Answer

The conversation doesn't make sense to me. Who is talking?

Answer

It means to not give someone the punishment they deserve from you or another.  
A related phrase is "let somebody off the hook."  The analogy there is to a fisherman, who has caught a fish, but instead of eating it, he lets it back into the water.

Letting someone off the hook, then, is like that fisherman.  He has some power to punish or harm a person as a result of their actions, but he can "let them off the hook" and pretend it never happened.
