Jang Tae Ha can't believe his eyes when he sees it is Fake Eun Joong who is representing Yoon Hwa Young. Fake pulls no punches and starts flinging the dirt all over the courtroom. Knowing this will get painful, Hwa Young silently signals to Real Eun Joong to leave the room. Tae Ha reaches critical level and suddenly bursts out shouting for Fake to stop. Interestingly he goes back to calling Fake by his old Jang Eun Joong name.
At the same time Ha Myeong Geun is down at the morgue with the grieving family of Deputy Chief Song. Myeong Geun calls Real to see how he's doing. Again it's interesting that on his phone Real still has Myeong Geun listed as "Father" while Myeong Geun has Eun Joong listed as "Son." Myeong Geun repeatedly tells Eun Joong, "It's not your fault." Eun Joong replies he knows who the culprit is and he's going to get him.
The session must be over as Hwa Young comes out into the hallway and starts looking for Real Eun Joong. Fake Eun Joong notes she doesn't even stop long enough to thank him or anything.
So many significant little moments in just the first ten minutes.
And there are more to follow. Everyone is now outside the courthouse on the steep steps. Hwa Young sees Real Eun Joong and goes down to say something to him. He merely gives her an inscrutable look and moves up past her to go to Tae Ha. It's Fake Eun Joong, the son she did wrong, who guides Hwa Young away while Real Eun Joong goes to help up his father.
Meanwhile Soo Young is meeting with a bespectacled Secretary Kim. He's passing himself off as a partner in a law firm giving her a job interview. Saying he's from Hong Kong and will be in Seoul for only a short time, Secretary Kim asks Soo Young to be his tour guide and to show him the sights.
Run, Soo Young! Run!
Hacker Poong Gi is nearly caught by Joo Ha but he's wearing his cleaning uniform and is able to bluff his way out of trouble.
Hwa Young takes Fake to a nice restaurant for dinner. She expresses the hope that one day Fake and Real will regard each other as brothers. (Don't hold your breath, honey.) Fake asks her if she isn't bothered that Real chose to stand by Tae Ha. Or at least by Tae Ha's money. Changing the subject, Fake asks his former mother who was the guy who had the guts to finish the press conference after all the other reporters ran away. Hwa Young says he was a young man from an online newspaper who called himself "Batman." Uh-oh, Fake Eun Joong is quick thinking if nothing else and starts to make the connection between this guy and the missing slush fund.
Joo Ha is in her car about to leave the office building when she notices Real Eun Joong (in his SqueakMobile) coming in. Curious, she naturally has to check out the reason for his late night visit to the office.
Over at his office, Fake Eun Joong is googling (or whatever it is they have in South Korea) stuff about hacking.
Upstairs in his office, Real Eun Joong is printing off the files Hacker broke into today. Tae Ha (or whoever) has helpfully put everything on a spreadsheet listing names, amounts of bribes, and extra dirt like who's having an affair with whom. One must admire an orderly and efficient villain.
Suddenly Joo Ha bursts into the room because neither of these guys thought to LOCK THE DOOR. She demands to know why Real Eun Joong is here with a cleaning guy. Eun Joong claims he was here trying to find out who was filching stuff from his office and he just now caught the cleaning guy. They have to go all the way with this ruse as Joo Ha calls the police and they take Poong Gi away.
(Also, in order to hide the papers he just printed out, Eun Joong wads them up and throws them in the trash can. Now I'm nervous as just last episode Jo Jin Woong wanted Eun Joong's trash gone through.)
Joo Ha asks about the missing money. Eun Joong acts so convincingly surprised when he hears about the large amount missing that I kind of wonder now if he was actually behind this. Perhaps Hacker took it upon himself to pad his Christmas club account. Or perhaps Real Eun Joong is just that good of an actor.
Jin Woong is looking over the papers his spying secretary reports Real Eun Joong was asking for yesterday. It's the list of the largest share holders of the company. The second largest holder is Koo Jae In, a name Jin Woong isn't familiar with. He goes to ask a drunk Tae Ha about this. It's the first Tae Ha heard about Fake now having a large chunk of stock in Taeha Group.
Tae Ha goes over to Fake's little apartment to confront Fake about the shares. Fake keeps his cool and asks, "So? What's the problem?"
Quick cut to Real Eun Joong bailing Hacker out. Eun Joong learns from Detective Gu how Myeong Geun told Soo Young to go take a vacation for about two months (his allotted time left to live). Now back to Fake and Tae Ha.
Tae Ha is once again about to reach critical mass as he yells about how dare Fake do this to him after all he's done for the young man (like throw Fake out of the house with only the clothes on his back. Stuff like that.) After having his own crying/yelling fit about wanting to be Tae Ha's son again, Fake explains he took the stocks because he didn't want them to fall into Real Eun Joong's hands as Fake doesn't trust that guy at all. He goes on to say he'll give the stocks back to Dad when the time is right. (Fake has also promised these stocks to both Hwa Young and Joo Ha as well.)
Real Eun Joong is standing outside his old home when he hears Soo Young coming back. He quickly hides. Soo Young isn't alone as Secretary Kim (still in his Clark Kent disguise) is seeing her home. What he thinks is being seductive is really creepy, at least to me. I wish Soo Young had some internal red flags going up. Can you not feel the creepiness coming off this guy?
Soo Young goes inside and Secretary Creep is walking away so all Eun Joong sees of the other man is his back. But Kim does this neck cracking thing that Eun Joong seems to recognize. At least I hope he recognizes it.
Anyway, while everyone else is inside, Eun Joong is out front trying to clean off all the hurtful graffiti that was written on the walls and door.
Fake Eun Joong's accusations against Real Eun Joong appears to have made some cracks in Tae Ha's trust in his son.
Just as I feared, Jin Woong is going through Real Eun Joong's trash. I sure hope Eun Joong got those papers out before this.
Fake Eun Joong discovers Batman's secret identity.
The next dramatic courtroom scene arrives as Ah Mi's case against Taeha Construction goes to trial. Since he's the new head of that business, Real Eun Joong must now face Ah Mi in court.
