Heartless City Episode 16

His arms poked through the paper walls, Doctor's Son holds Prosecutor Ahn hostage. Through the paper Shi Hyun suggests he and Ji Hyung Min team up together to take Pusan down. Ji demands to know if Doctor's Son was or was not behind Gyung Mi's murder. The way Shi Hyun denies being her killer makes Ji wonder if Doctor's Son knew Gyung Mi personally. 

Shi Hyun tosses Ahn at Ji in order to make his escape into the surrounding woods. 

Back at Chez Hole In the Wall, Shi Hyun meets with what's left of his gang. His minion Gi Chul is probably happy to hear Doctor's Son wants Joo Young taken away from Ahn. Shi Hyun asks Jin Sook how her project is coming along. She's supposed to be finding Professor Jang, Pusan's head chemist. 

Ji goes home to meet with Soo Min. She finds it strange that Doctor's Son, instead of having her killed, actually helped her by warning Ji that Soo Min's cover was blown. This doesn't sound like the gangster they all know and hate. Ji confesses he's starting to have his doubts that Doctor's Son is the one who killed Gyung Mi. 

Jin Sook calls Soo Min to request a meeting. Ji doesn't want Soo Min to go but she's confident that Jin Sook doesn't know she's an undercover cop. Once again Jin Sook is sending Soo Min off into danger as she wants the young woman to be the one to find Professor Jang. 

Chairman Jo knows Doctor's Son is looking for Professor Jang. He orders his minions to be prepared. Ji also orders his minions to start concentrating on finding this Jang guy. Shi Hyun figures out that Jin Sook is going to be using Soo Min to find the professor. 

Soo Min is really undercover now as she's wearing a terrible wig and a teeny tiny pink dress. Jang isn't doing much to hide. He's out having a drink with the girls and singing karaoke. Soo Min calls Jin Sook to alert her to where the target is. She also tells Ji the same info. Now it's time for a costume change. You may ask, "Where did Soo Min's change of clothes come from?" Don't you know by now not to ask logical questions? Just be thankful she took off that terrible wig.

Jin Sook arrives with a couple of big guys. Soo Min tells them there are only two guards outside of Professor Jang's hotel room. Oh no, it's a trap. Inside his room is Wooden Stick and a whole bunch of goons with pipes and sticks. Thank goodness when they get to the door Jin Sook's hooker instincts tell her things aren't right and they need to make a hasty retreat down the hall.

Wooden Stick and his forces come flooding out from everywhere. Jin Sook's men put up a useless defense in order to give the high heeled women time to make a run for it. They duck into a storeroom and make it appear they've taken the service elevator down when really they're still in the room hiding behind stuff. And somehow Ji has suddenly joined them. 

Now everyone is down in the boiler room. They must have had Scotty transport them down. Ji offers to stay behind and keep the thugs busy so the women can once again make their escape. Plus he's got a gun while they've just got sticks. Surprisingly the stick men don't seem deterred by bullets flying at them as they attack. 

Ji is outnumbered, disarmed, and knocked down. (Hee, he's even got a shoe print on his chest. Good on ya, Show.) Wooden Stick pulls out a knife and is about to kill Ji when Shi Hyun shows up. He picks up Ji's gun and finds there is only one bullet in it left. Wooden Stick addressed Shi Hyun as Doctor's Son. At last there's nothing to block Ji's view of his nemesis. He can clearly see what Doctor's Son looks like. 

Shi Hyun easily takes down the remaining hoodlums without even breaking a sweat or putting a tear in his suit. Wooden Stick grabs the woozy Ji and uses the cop as a human shield. He orders Doctor's Son to drop the gun, which he does. This distracts Wooden Stick long enough for Ji to put an elbow in his face. 

Since Doctor's Son helped him, Ji allows Shi Hyun to leave the crime scene. Oh yeah, and Shi Hyun successfully makes off with Professor Jang.

Prosecutor Ahn reports all the arrests of Pusan's men to Daddy Ji. You'll never guess where Daddy Ji is. Never in a million years. He's at that #*&% Japanese restaurant. Chairman Jo comes into the room to remind Daddy Ji how both he and Congressman Cha are where they are because of Pusan's money and influence. Therefore he expects all his men to be released from custody.

Annoying Reporter Cha drops by HQ to tell Ji how the Nerd's wife (who stood to have inherited all the shares in Sky Investments) has mysteriously killed herself by jumping off a roof. (She was probably jumping for joy over the Nerd being dead and she simply got too close to the edge.) Seriously, it's obvious the woman's father-in-law had her killed.

Back at their hideout, Shi Hyun hides just in time when he see Jin Sook has brought Soo Min along with her. Kim Hyun Soo is understandably upset that Jin Sook has brought in an outsider. Soo Min recognizes Soo from the prison security video. Shi Hyun calls Jin Sook and orders her to get rid of Soo Min immediately. Soo Min was expecting this and leaves but now she wonders if this dank dump is the hideout of Doctor's Son.

Soo Min immediately reports back to Ji and is somewhat surprised when he's not all that excited that she may have found the lair of Doctor's Son. 

The next morning Ji is all ready to start the interrogations of the Pusan gang only to learn they've all been released. Wooden Stick probably wishes by now he had stayed in jail. Because of his failure in losing Professor Jang, Chairman Jo has one of Stick's phalanges cut off. 

Since Scale knew where the gang was going to set up their drug production factory, they worry he may have told Chairman Jo and so they plan to relocate. Safari (wearing a decent suit for once!) feels left out of the loop. He tells his own little gang that they should start moving one step ahead of Doctor's Son. Safari knows there's an even bigger fish behind big fish Pusan and that's who they should go after. 

Shi Hyun follows Prosecutor Ahn who is going to meet Daddy Ji. You know where they're at. Shi Hyun barges into the private dining room and attempts to make a deal with the chief prosecutor. Shi Hyun pours Daddy Ji a drink (important Korean etiquette). Daddy Ji pours the drink on the table (rather insulting). Daddy Ji is not impressed with this wet-behind-the-ears upstart. Is anybody going to clean up this mess on the table?

Daddy Ji leaves the restaurant (it's about friggin' time!) to go meet with Safari. It looks to me like Daddy Ji is setting Safari and Doctor's Son against each other as they fight over Chairman Jo's position. 

Ji Hyung Min tells Min Hong Gi about meeting and seeing Doctor's Son. Min is not pleased with this development and calls Shi Hyun to yell at him. 

Jin Sook returns to her office to find Wooden Stick and his men waiting for her. Soo Min hides as she witnesses the men taking Jin Sook away. As the group reaches the parking garage Soo Min (again in high heels) attacks one guy with her purse while Jin Sook takes down another with hers. What have they got in there - bricks?

The two women run for their lives as Wooden Stick and his remaining gang give chase. Hiding in a stairwell, Jin Sook thinks it would be better if they split up. She gives Soo Min a phone number and tells her to seek shelter with this person.

"Who is it?" Soo Min asks.

Jin Sook replies, "His name is Jung Shi Hyun."
