Ji Hyung Min gets a copy of the security video tape showing Kim Hyun Soo meeting with prisoner Park Eun Hye. Ji meets with Eun Hye, showing her he has the tape and asking who her visitor is. Eun Hye starts the crying act and claims she has no idea who the man was. He offered her money to make the hit. That's the way life is here on The Rock.
Jung Shi Hyun drops by Hyun Soo's odd apartment. Hyun Soo is working out and I can't help but notice he does have nice legs. Anyway, Shi Hyun simply says he knows Hyun Soo ordered the hit on Lee Jin Sook and to not do it again. (That's it? That's all you're going to do?) Hyun Soo explains that he wanted her dead because he feels Jin Sook is the one who alerted Safari to the fact they were at the hotel. He blames Jin Sook for his near-mortal attack and murder of his Miss Right Now girlfriend. Shi Hyun tries to throw his friend off the track by pointing out it could also have been Nang Mahn who ratted them all out.
Jin Sook takes Yoon Soo Min out to a very nice restaurant for dinner. Soo Min tells the story of how her mother abandoned her at a zoo. (Is this just a story or is this the truth?) Jin Sook gets a call and soon after makes her excuses that she has to go. But she makes the promise to Soo Min that she still has a long ways to go to pay off her debt and for Soo Min to think of her as a sister. It looks like Soo Min is already succumbing to the Dark Side.
Soo Min returns to her apartment only to find Ji already there and anxious to debrief her. Soo Min jumps all over him about how it was her new BFF Jin Sook who actually got her out of prison, not him. Was he going to do anything to free her? Was he ever worried about how things were going for her inside the Iron Bar Hotel? Ji tries to remind her of who she is and what her purpose is but Soo Min orders him to leave.
Jin Sook had been called to meet with Shi Hyun so he can personally welcome her back to the outside. Shi Hyun again asks her to leave the business and to severe her ties with Safari as well as Safari was the one who framed her. Jin Sook refuses both requests.
Safari is worried because he knows he's in trouble with the big man for killing Kang without authorization.
Jin Sook has her boys beat up the security guard from the prison. She wants the security tape of Eun Hye's visitor. At first the guard claims all the tapes were erased so he doesn't have anything to give her. With the threat of more beatings, the guard sings like a canary. He doesn't know who the person was who ordered him to erase the tape (Shi Hyun) but he does know that it was Detective Ji Hyung Min who has it.
Ji's team isn't having any luck identifying Hyun Soo from the low-resolution recording. He shows the video to Director Min and asks if Min recognizes the fellow in the picture. Min acts like he's never seen him before but that night quickly arranges a meeting with Shi Hyun.
Shi Hyun is having business problems. Drug business problems. Tired of all the in-fighting and not getting their shipments, some of the distributors are breaking off and going to other sources. One in particular is someone named Gol Mang. Doctor's Son plans to use Gol Mang as an example to the other drug dealers. Kim asks why Shi Hyun is covering for Hyun Soo? Has he forgotten Hyun Soo is a criminal they're trying to take down?
Ji goes to meet with Scale, Korea's answer to Joe Pesci, and asks if he recognizes the bloke in the security tape. As Scale talks to the officer, we see in flashbacks that Shi Hyun (tipped off by Kim) has gotten to him first. Shi Hyun tells his former boss to say he doesn't know Hyun Soo when Ji shows him the tape. But instead, Scale fully co-operates with Ji and tells him Hyun Soo's name, rank and serial number.
Soo Min goes to Jin Sook to ask for a job. Big Sister tells Soo Min to forget about it and to go back to school; she'll pay for college. Soo Min claims that she once worked at a bar before and she's even been to second base! (That's nothing to brag about. Second base in Korea is a hug.) Jin Sook tells her to go home.
As Soo Min is walking down the hallway she's mistaken to be a new girl and is sent into a room for her assignment. It doesn't go well and her customer is about to smash her face in when Jin Sook calmly comes to the rescue. Back in her office Jin Sook gives Soo Min the Hooker Talk ("It's a shit life and it doesn't get any better. The end.") Soo Min gives her the Orphan Talk ("Waah, I'm an orphan. Feel sorry for me. Waah!") Jin Sook gives in and promises to make Soo Min the best damn whore there is.
That female reporter, Cha, makes moves on our Ji Hyung Min. Grrrr. Thank goodness Jin Sook calls him and interrupts this atrocious not-date.
Gol Mang (which must be Korean for "Dang Fool") meets with his Thai suppliers. Just as the deal is sealed with a handshake, a nameless minion is stabbed by Shi Hyun (in a really, really - I can't emphasize this enough - really bad disguise.)
Action Fight Scene! [Please note Shi Hyun slices and dices but does not kill any of his opponents.]
Slightly wounded in the fight, Shi Hyun once again for the umpteenth time stops by the corner market to pick up some band-aids. Soo Min just happens to be walking by and recognizes him from all the other times he's come into the store to get medical supplies. She goes running after him and just invites herself right into his car. (Who the hell does that?) Poor Shi Hyun can't get rid of this chatty Cathy who even orders him to drive her to her destination.
It's time to go to work, though, and Soo Min gets dressed for her first customer. Wow, I've talked about dangerous shoes before but these have actual spikes coming out of them!
Ji comes to Jin Sook's club/whorehouse for their meeting. She wants to see the security tape he has on his mini-iPad. (At least I hope that's a mini-iPad and not his phone, cause that would be a big ass phone.) Jin Sook says she doesn't recognize Hyun Soo but since Scale has already talked, Ji calls her out for lying.
Jin Sook calls in a present for Ji, one of her new girls. I'll give you three guesses as to who the new girl is and the first two don't count. Jin Sook has given Soo Min her first order and it is to make Ji fall for her. Ji agrees to go along with it so Jin Sook won't get suspicious.
Jin Sook tells Shi Hyun that she's seen the tape and knows it was Soo who tried to have her killed. Shi Hyun counters with knowing that Soo's Miss Right Now was one of Jin Sook's girls and was with Soo under Jin Sook's orders. Shi Hyun tries to broker a peace treaty between his two besties. Jin Sook warns that Ji already knows Hyun Soo's identity.
