To keep up their act, Ji Hyung Min and Yoon Soo Min are stuck alone in a room together. Might as well get some work done. Ji shows her the video of Kim Hyun Soo so she'll know who the guy is and what he looks like. Since they need to make this look good, Ji estimates they should stay in the room at least two hours. He tries to fit on the short bed (his feet are dangling off the end) and take a nap. Soo Min is bored out of her skull. (Hey, his mini-iPad is right there on the table. I'm sure he's got Angry Birds on it or something.)
Instead of playing Minesweeper, Soo Min climbs up on the bed with Ji and implies she'd rather have him be her first sexual encounter rather than some unknown customer. Ji quickly makes tracks out of the room.
Jin Sook expects Soo Min to live full time at the whorehouse now. Soo Min packs up one piece of luggage and says a sad goodbye to the place she once shared with Gyung Mi.
Jin Sook sends her numerous goons out on a mission. That mission is to find Hyun Soo and beat the ever-livin' crap out of him. Yet the next time we see him, Hyun Soo stands alone while all the goons and their big sticks litter the floor. He knows these guys were sent by Jin Sook so he goes to her office to return the favor. At the same time Shi Hyun is told about the attack and he races to avert any more bloodshed. Hyun Soo pulls his blurry knife on Jin Sook (I don't know why knife blades are blurred out while every other weapon is in full technicolor glory) yet surprisingly he's the big man and apologizes for trying to have her knocked off.
Safari meets with his boss, Pusan/Chairman Jo (who never ever seems to leave that dining room. He probably sleeps in that chair.) Safari gets down on his knees before Pusan. With just a look, one of Pusan's guards wraps a wire around Safari's throat and starts to pull. The bossman continues his dinner. After several agonizing moments, Pusan announces he's going to give Safari another chance. The minion lets go of the wire only to have some little nerdy guy in glasses grab it and start pulling again. Who's this new character? Ack, it's the bossman's son.
Understandably, Jin Sook fires all the goons who failed to kick Hyun Soo's ass. Don't ask for a letter of recommendation from her and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Jin Sook receives a phone call from Safari. He tries to lay all the blame for what happened on Nang Mahn, the guy with the beard.
Speaking of which, Nang Mahn is somewhere running and hiding for his life as Safari's people are hunting him down. He makes a call to Hyun Soo and begs for help. Hyun Soo is with Shi Hyun and they appear to be drinking milk out of their wine glasses. Hyun Soo is all set to ride to the rescue but Shi Hyun stops him. It's probably too late.
And it is. Nang Mahn's body is being dragged away when Hyun Soo (at Shi Hyun's suggestion) calls the old man's cell phone. Safari answers it and warns Soo that he's next.
Jin Sook meets Safari. He warns her that the bossman is after Doctor's Son and if she's so intent on saving Shi Hyun as well as her self then she should tell Safari where Hyun Soo is. Jin Sook simply replies she'll think about it.
When Jin Sook returns to her office it is to find Shi Hyun there waiting for her. He tells her about Nang Mahn being dead and lays it out point by point, just as it happened, that Safari did this in order to regain Jin Sook's trust so they could make a deal. He begs her not to follow through with the deal while she tries to get Shi Hyun to see this is the only way to save his life.
Shi Hyun calls Safari to try and convince him to let Jin Sook alone. Safari says this business is basically like a roach motel: you can get in but there's no way out. Not for him, not for Jin Sook, and not for Doctor's Son. This will only end with Shi Hyun's death.
Shi Hyun meets with that crooked Prosecutor Ahn in an attempt to learn where Meth Kim is being held. Meth Kim is a pretty popular guy right now as Ji is also looking for his whereabouts. Continuing his obsession with Doctor's Son, Ji figures Meth Kim is the only one who can finger the guy. Ji learns Meth is being held in a hospital.
Safari and Eun Soo are arriving at the hospital. Doctor's Son in his baseball cap disguise is running up the stairs of the hospital. Safari gets to the room first and orders Meth to leave with them. Shi Hyun sees them all taking the elevator down. He runs back down the stairs for a couple of floors, then goes to stand outside the elevator he thinks they'll be coming out of. Pulling out his own blurry knife, Shi Hyun prepares himself to attack as soon as the doors open.
Only instead of Meth Kim and Safari, it is Ji Hyung Min in this particular elevator. The two men look each other right in the face, yet (sigh of relief) Ji doesn't recognize Shi Hyun at all.
Meth Kim leads Safari straight to Hyun Soo. Safari then contacts Shi Hyun and tells him the only way to save Hyun Soo's life is to give himself up. Shi Hyun agonizes over whether to sacrifice his friend or not. His head says one thing while his heart says another.
In the end he drives alone over to Safari's stronghold. He expects Safari to let Hyun Soo go now but Safari is a bastard after all. You can't expect a bastard to hold up his end of the deal. Shi Hyun takes out his (blurred) curved knife as Safari's goons surround and attack him. A couple of times it looks like he's about to be overwhelmed but Shi Hyun rallies back. Safari pulls out his baton thingy and slugs Shi Hyun from behind.
As he's down on the floor in incredible pain, Shi Hyun flashes back to his childhood when Safari was about the only father figure he had in his life. Safari also seems unable to forget their past relationship and sends Eun Soo in to do the actual deed. Funny, but her knife didn't look blurred out to me.
