Heartless City Episode 18

Now that he knows that she knows but she doesn't know that he knows she knows, Jung Shi Hyun tries to call a crying Yoon Soo Min. (I had no idea they still made green shag carpet.) Shi Hyun just goes right ahead and admits to her he is Doctor's Son. Soo Min tearfully asks if he really did kill Gyung Mi. His only answer is Soo Min could end up like her sister so she had better get away from Jin Sook now. Oh wait, Shi Hyun is just right outside of her door. He can hear Soo Min's cries of anguish. Well, squeals of anguish.

On a side note I'm kinda diggin' this bluesy tune playing right now.

Safari takes Jin Sook out for some delicious ice cream. She's just letting it go to waste! Dang, now I want ice cream. Anyway, Safari tells her his plans to take over Chairman Jo's position. When he does, he wants Jin Sook to come with him. She won't leave Doc's side.

Eun Soo wraps a piano wire around Chairman Jo's neck because Meth Kim isn't man enough to do it himself. As she slowly strangles the fat man, Pusan makes some funny faces of death. Safari signals for Eun Soo to stop so he can question Chairman Jo as to where his production facility is. Oh yeah, and if Pusan has any documentation of all his contributions to Daddy Ji that would be nice to have as well. Chairman Jo ain't talkin'. Safari gets so frustrated that it takes him about two minutes to get his gun out of his jacket. He shoots a warning shot at Chairman Jo. Doesn't the old man get it, Safari asks. The word has come from up above to cut Pusan lose so the old man might as well co-operate with Safari.

Chairman Jo finally gives them the name of Bogam Pharmaceuticals, the place where the drug production is supposedly located. I'm with Eun Soo in not trusting Pusan. This could be a trap. Doctor's Son stops by for a visit and to find out what Safari is up to. As the two men talk Safari points out that only Min Hong Gi could have been the one to spin the tale that Safari killed Shi Hyun's mother. Safari figured Hong Gi lied to Shi Hyun in order to use the young man to get him to kill the turncoat cop. 

Detective Kim lets Kim Hyun Soo know that Wooden Stick looks like he's about to talk.

Safari and Daddy Ji take in a showing of World War Z. Why aren't they wearing their 3D glasses? Daddy Ji gives Safari the go-ahead to off Chairman Jo.

Soo Min stops by the HQ of the special forces unit. Jeez, can just anybody walk into this place? No one knows she's a cop, only that she's Gyung Mi's kid sister. Ji Hyung Min is having a meeting with Annoying Reporter Cha and Suh Yoon Gyung about Sky Investments when Soo Min comes in. After the other two ladies leave the room, Soo Min tells Ji that Annoying Reporter Cha seems like a nice woman and he shouldn't let her get away. (No, Soo Min, don't tell him that!) 

Soo Min asks Ji to go get her some coffee. When he steps outside to get it, Detective Kim comes running up to tell him Wooden Stick is ready to talk. It's Annoying Reporter Cha who brings Soo Min some coffee. Soo Min asks Cha to please take care of Ji. It's like she's saying her final goodbyes. The camera makes sure we notice Soo Min grabbing her backpack. I bet she was getting something while Ji was out of the room. Something like his gun.

Wooden Stick tells Ji the production facility is in Bogam Pharmaceuticals. Ji rallies his forces to go storm the castle. Prosecutor Ahn calls Daddy Ji while Detective Kim calls Hyun Soo with the news. Ji is just about ready to head out when he suddenly realizes he's been had. This was all part of Chairman Jo's plan. 

Shi Hyun, suspicious of all this himself, calls Safari to warn him it's all a trap. Safari has already figured this out. He also gives hints that maybe, just maybe, he knows Shi Hyun is working undercover for Hong Gi.

Only now does Ji realize his gun is gone and that Soo Min probably took it. She's in her car waiting outside Shi Hyun's hideout when Ji calls. Ji tries to tell her Doctor's Son didn't kill Gyung Mi. Soo Min tells Ji about finding the sniper's gun. In her eyes Doctor's Son is the killer and she's going to finish all this right here and now.

Shi Hyun comes out of his basement lair and drives off in his car. Soo Min follows him in her car. Gi Chul, Doc's minion, follows her in his car. Looks like we've got ourselves a convoy! 

Fat Cop Yang and the boys (minus Ji) reach the supposed drug factory. Inside they find only suited thugs wielding baseball bats. The cops all have guns so guess who wins. 

Safari and his gang, along with their prisoner, arrive at the real site of the drug factory. Since they have Pusan with them, the guards simply open all the doors for them. Don't they notice the old man's hands are tied behind his back? I've said it before and I'll say it again: you just can't hire good help these days. 

Outside of the building the drug task force drives up and surrounds the place. Inside, Safari makes Chairman Jo open up a safe which contains a USB stick just chalked full of juicy information. That's when the cops start throwing in teargas canisters. Safari orders the others to take Pusan and escape while he stays behind to block the doors. In the confusion they're attacked by other thugs and Chairman Jo is able to give them the slip. 

Min Hong Gi appears behind Safari and sticks a gun in his former agent's neck. He's totally holding that gun incorrectly. Safari asks his old boss if Doctor's Son is an undercover agent. Hong Gi wants the USB stick. The two men struggle. Safari knocks the gun out of Hong Gi's grip, then draws out his own. (Didn't take you two minutes that time.) Safari fires but purposely misses. He just can't kill his old boss. He turns to leave giving Hong Gi time to regain his gun. This time it's Hong Gi's turn to fire and he doesn't miss. Safari is shot in the back but that doesn't seem to slow him down as he escapes down the fog-shrouded hallway. 

Soo Min followed Shi Hyun to the drug factory which was hidden on a college campus. She and the other gawkers stand outside watching all the SWAT cops patrolling the place. 

Shi Hyun finds Safari in the hallway and wants to help. Safari refuses and tells Shi Hyun to go get Chairman Jo. Say, where'd all those cops go all of a sudden? We've got all these people simply walking in and out of a crime scene. 

Pusan, now armed with a gun, is up on the rooftop because all DramaKoreans are simply drawn to rooftops like moths to the flame. Doctor's Son finds him up there and Pusan offers to make a deal if Shi Hyun will help him escape. Pusan has the gun on Shi Hyun when Soo Min shows up and pulls her/Ji's gun on Chairman Jo. See, more people walking around a crime scene. Where the hell are those cops?

Soo Min, suddenly bad ass, simply cold cocks Chairman Jo and now aims her weapon on Doctor's Son. She keeps asking why did he kill her sister.

Wait, on another rooftop is a sniper with his sights directed on this little drama on the other rooftop. The sniper is asking for directions on what to do. First he aims at Shi Hyun, then he trains his scope on the back of Soo Min.

Who will shoot first?
