Who will Ji Hyung Min shoot today?
As the sun shines and the rain falls, Ji catches up to Shi Hyun in the yard and demands to know if he's the Doctor's Son. Just as Shi Hyun is about to slowly turn around and face the cop, a car comes out of nowhere and knocks Ji back about twenty feet. It's ol' buddy Kim Hyun Soo who gets out of the car. He's about to shoot Ji when Shi Hyun stops him. It's bad news to kill a cop, they should just get out of here.
I don't know how Hyun Soo is able to see what with the combination of the rain and a totally smashed windshield. Shi Hyun flashes back to what literally just happened two seconds ago and realizes something: how did Hyun Soo even know where to find him? Hyun Soo just laughs it off and hints that he's got a "friend" in the special forces.
A really weird looking ambulance rushes the injured Ji to a hospital. Back at the office Director Min is jumped by the crooked Deputy Director Kang for not obeying his orders to pull the special forces out. Min defends his decision pointing out they arrested Meth Kim and discovered who the leak was within. So all in all the operation should be considered a success. Before the yelling can continue, though, Min gets the news about Ji Hyung Min.
As Ji lies unconscious he has a vision of a live Gyung Mi being shot in the head by a shadowy figure. Dream Ji is too stunned to react. A light begins to glow that slowly illuminates the face of the shadowy figure as Shi Hyun. Ji wakes up briefly but will he remember the face he saw in his dream?
Min Hong Gi is greeted at the hospital by Fat Cop. (What is his name again?) Anyway, Fat Cop fills his boss in on Ji's condition. Min cautiously asks if anyone saw the face of Doctor's Son. Fat Cop replies the criminal was long gone by the time they all got to the scene.
This calls for another secret meeting out in the wide open with Shi Hyun (who has since dried off from the rain.) Shi Hyun explains he's trying to let the special forces understand that he isn't the one who killed Gyung Mi.
Kang calls Safari Moon. Kang is worried that Suh Yoon Gyung, the leak, will blab about him. He wants Safari to clean up the mess. Safari sends a newbie gangsta to the hospital where Suh is being treated.
The rest of the team are at the hospital wringing their hands over their fallen leader. Fat Cop is talking to Detective Kim (the one who is in Hyun Soo's pocket) about the cost of college for his daughter. Detective Kim offers to help out financially and asks for Fat Cop's account number. (Geez, people! Don't give out your account numbers! None of my friends know my account number and I don't know theirs. Why are DramaKoreans always handing out confidential information like that?)
Meanwhile Newbie Gangsta enters the hospital and isn't noticed by anyone despite the fact that he's a) blonde and b) has a clouded eye. He easily enters Suh's room because even though she's under arrest the police saw no reason to station a guard outside her room. Newbie Gangsta takes out a syringe to inject something into Suh's IV when suddenly a miraculously healed Ji emerges from the bathroom to do battle with the baddie.
(Next time I'm ill I'm going to a Korean hospital. All these characters can be stabbed in the abdomen or hit by a car in one scene and in the next they're up and running around, kicking ass.)
Ji looks to have the upper hand as he demands to know who ordered the hit on the sleeping Suh, only at this moment Ji starts to feels the effects of his earlier injuries. Newbie Gangsta runs away, leaving his syringe behind on the floor. A stumbling Ji gives chase but by the time he catches up to Newbie, he's already been taken out by someone else. A nurse who witnessed the attack says a man went thata-way. Ji again starts to give chase when he stops to realize this is all just a diversion away from Suh. He runs back to her room only to find the bed empty.
We see Sleeping Beauty being pushed around in a wheelchair by Shi Hyun. He takes her to the rooftop because DramaKoreans luv rooftops. Suh finally wakes up and he asks her for more details about what happened "that day." (I'm assuming he means that day Gyung Mi was shot.)
Ji dashes up to the rooftop to find Suh still in her wheelchair but she's all alone now. He knows Doctor's Son has been here but Shi Hyun has already gotten down to the parking lot and is driving away. Suh finally coughs up Kang Min Sup's name. Back in her hospital room she plays a recording of a phone call from Kang when he ordered her to erase the cellphone location record of Gyung Mi.
Ji calls Kang to let him know it's all out in the open now. Ji wants to know why Kang did it. Before their conversation gets much further, Safari Moon (in that gawdawful shirt and jacket) shoots Kang in the head. Safari wipes the gun clean and places it in the hand of the dead man to make it look like Kang committed suicide.
Shi Hyun blackmails/bribes the prosecutor, Ahn, in charge of Lee Jin Sook's case. As she learns that she's going to be released, Jin Sook gets contacted by Shi Hyun. He asks her sincerely to get out of drug dealing business once she's free.
Soo Min is released from solitary confinement just in time to learn Jin Sook is being freed. Soo Min tries to contact Ji but he's currently being grilled by Internal Affairs for shooting a co-worker in the leg. It appears IA frowns on that sort of thing.
Min meets with Ji's dad, Prosecutor Ji. (I only now realized Ji's dad is the useless dad from I Summon You, Gold. I don't know why I didn't recognize that hairpiece right away.) Ji Dad wants to get his son out of trouble and suggests they change the whole story. There was no leak, Director Kang was depressed, and Suh was injured in the line of duty during a drug bust.
Ji is a free man but there was an additional condition to the deal: he's been demoted and is no longer the team leader. Ah, Fat Cop's name is Yang. I'm still going to call him Fat Cop. He's in charge of the group now. Ji chooses to leave the unit entirely and continue the investigation on his own. He knows Kang didn't commit suicide.
Prosecutor Ahn meets with Prosecutor Ji. Ji Dad wants an eye kept on Lee Jin Sook. Both Ji Hyung Min and Kim Hyun Soo learn about Jin Sook's release. Neither men are pleased by the news.
She's back in her old haunts now. She calls Shi Hyun to tell him she can't get out of the business yet because she wants to catch whoever ordered Park Eun Hye to kill her. This is the first Shi Hyun heard of the attack.
Soo Min finally gets in touch with Ji. Now that Jin Sook is out of jail, Soo Min wants out as well. Ji warns her that a pro like Jin Sook will quickly figure out Soo Min was a plant if she's released to easily.
Yet Jin Sook is doing her own thing to help Soo Min get out. Call it pay back for saving her life. Jin Sook has her thugs beat up the convenience store manager and force him to confess to the cops about his rape attempt. Soo Min is released from prison. As Ji watches from afar, Jin Sook comes herself to personally pick Soo Min up. She's in.
The girls hit a spa and have mustard smeared on their faces. (Well that's what it looks like. Who knows, maybe mustard is good for your face.) Now it's time to shop Victoria's Secret.
Shi Hyun heads to the women's prison to start his own investigation of his auntie's attack. He arranges to have a meeting with Eun Hye. Ji is still at the prison (he totally didn't see Shi Hyun walk by) and asks to see Eun Hye himself. When the guard tells him she's in a meeting with her lawyer, Ji runs into the room to find... she's having a meeting with her lawyer. It's the same lawyer who represented Jin Sook. Ji wonders why such an expensive attorney is handling such small fry. The lawyer oily answers he does pro bono from time to time and this is the time.
Elsewhere in the prison, a guard shows Shi Hyun the closed circuit tv recording of Eun Hye visiting with Hyun Soo. Shi Hyun bribes the guard to erase the tape. The guard returns to the recording booth (or whatever it's called) and is just about to hit the delete button when Ji comes into the room and catches him. Ji is everywhere!

And thanks to Bonnielou over on Dramafever I have learned that soulful song over the end credits is called "Sangcheo" by Kim Yong Jin.
