by solstices
With the true identification of our nefarious businessman revealed finally, it’s a battle of wits between the one scheming an usurpation and those decided to thwart these depraved plans. Geared up with wacky disguises, corny jokes, and even a cool new experience, our squad will do no matter it takes to smell out all the satan’s greatest stored secrets and techniques.
EPISODES 7-8
Because it seems, there’s extra to Hae-il’s take care of Dean Lee than he initially let on. Speaking huge, Hae-il guarantees to fill each seat for mass and triple the variety of seminary candidates subsequent yr, as long as Dean Lee withdraws Do-woo’s punishment and turns a blind eye to all of Hae-il’s suspicious actions.
That final clause is the vital half, as a result of it means Hae-il is now free to analyze as he pleases. Reaching out to his NIS sunbae JUNG SEOK-HEE (Shin Eun-jung), who now lives a quiet life as a bookstore proprietor, Hae-il asks for assist figuring out the lizard tattoo. Seok-hee delivers: they’re the notorious Laos drug cartel “Ssaban,” and the tattooed males are the Geckos who’re adept at every little thing from bodily fight to digital hacking. The cartel head died final yr, and his right-hand man — whose grainy {photograph} seems suspiciously like a sure businessman — has since disappeared.
Because of Hae-il’s particular paper with a monitoring chip embedded inside, Kyung-seon tails Du-heon to his hideout. Behind a locked door that Kyung-seon can’t hear by, Du-heon data himself giving a briefing about his newest “honey jar” case: he can use the druggie PARK JOON-HYUK as leverage to curry favor together with his father, the vice minister PARK KI-TAE. The autumn man might be Joon-hyuk’s superstar pal OH JIN-YOUNG, although his drug check outcomes got here again clear.
However, Kyung-seon relays the data she’s surmised to Hae-il: the latest raid of the ship manufacturing unit was led by the currently-missing Busan chief prosecutor, who had been digging into each Du-heon and the cartel. For sure, he’s been murdered by Hong-shik’s thugs, a lot to Du-heon’s smug reduction.
After doing a background verify on Hae-il and discovering out he was as soon as a NIS agent deployed in Syria, Du-heon calls Hae-il to fulfill on the seaside — the place Hae-il joins our infantile prosecutor for a foolish sand flag sport, LOL. Advising Hae-il to maintain his nostril out of others’ enterprise, Du-heon warns that everybody Hae-il cares about will die, leaving him to grieve alone. However our priest isn’t cowed by his threats.
In the meantime, Dae-young, Ja-young, Yo-han, and Ssongsak strut round of their legal disguises, claiming to be out for Hae-il’s blood. With a well timed photograph of Hae-il eating out with “Detective Gu” (who’s actually Dae-young’s lookalike uncle), the fishy thugs chew the bait, believing the person in entrance of them is the needed assassin they will use to eradicate the pesky priest.
Our squad scores lodgings within the manufacturing unit ship, covertly contacting Hae-il by a micro-sized cellphone that they must press with a toothpick. Shaman Ja-young’s pretend fortune-telling frightens an underling into giving up a photograph of the cartel boss, and their eyes widen in shocked recognition: it’s the annoying wealthy businessman!
Simply as Hong-shik’s fancy fundraising occasion commences on the church, the ship squad calls to tell Hae-il of the drug lord’s identification. After ushering all of the attendees into the church on the pretext of an incoming rainshower, Hae-il and Hong-shik duke it out below the sudden downpour. They’re evenly matched, till Hae-il’s tinnitus strikes once more, permitting Hong-shik to achieve the higher hand.
Simply then, Kyung-seon — who heard the information from Sung-kyu — interrupts with a cellphone name to divert Hong-shik’s consideration by lastly accepting his date supply. LOL. Earlier than Hong-shik can wind up once more to kick Hae-il whereas he’s down, a police van stuffed with armed SWAT officers pulls up. The mousy woman who’s been surreptitiously observing across the church is definitely CHIEF GO MARTHA (Heo Quickly-mi) of the Uma police station. She manages to guard Hae-il by taking Hong-shik into custody, however after all the emergency arrest doesn’t final lengthy.
Because of his sunbae’s intel, Hae-il has came upon Hong-shik’s modus operandi — every time he’s incriminated for his drug dealing, he merely blows up his ship and strikes elsewhere. Worse but, he massacres everybody within the neighborhood through poisonous gasoline. Meaning there’s a bomb planted someplace within the present manufacturing unit, and that one of many metropolis’s gasoline tanks has been tampered with.
Our heroes might have made a number of headway this week, however alas, our villains are catching up quick. Kyung-seon makes an attempt to raid Du-heon’s hideout, however she will get tased by Du-heon’s private assistant KIM MA-RI (Hwang Jung-min). The squad within the ship searches for the bomb, however they’re interrupted by Boss Park: “What are you searching for, Detective Gu?” Guess the jig is up. Elsewhere, Hong-shik pays a go to to Seok-hee’s bookstore — his Lao underling came upon about her info retrieval — and knocks her out earlier than she will pull her gun on him.
As for our fiery priest, Hae-il hops on a smooth motorbike to tail a Gecko thug, however he’s interrupted by a panicked name from Do-woo. Hong-shik’s thugs have barged into the seminary and begun beating the younger clergymen up, all as a result of Du-heon acquired aggravated by their anti-drug campaigns. Hae-il rushes again to guard his proteges, however he receives a nasty whack to the top that has him fainting whereas the thugs make their escape.
Nooooo, Hae-il! He’s notoriously terrible at caring for his personal well being when his thoughts is ready on in search of justice, and I can solely hope this hasn’t inflicted any lasting harm. I’m glad to see him reaching out and counting on others relatively than making an attempt to sort out every little thing himself, however he must be taught that this could prolong to his welfare as properly, past simply his mission.
Then there’s Kyung-seon’s residence ghost, who’s latched onto Hae-il ever since he visited her for an exorcism try. They’ve been build up this plot level for 2 weeks, so certainly there’ll be an enormous payoff, proper? (Is Hong-shik going to get saddled with the ghost subsequent, seeing as she likes good-looking males?)
Speaking about Kyung-seon, how hilarious was her observatory date! From her tacky constellation puns, to Hong-shik’s gaudy star T-shirt, I genuinely couldn’t maintain again my laughter. Plus that million-dollar necklace present, which Hong-shik provided whereas blushing like a boy together with his first crush! (Kyung-seon: “Is a mass assassin appearing all bashful proper now?” LOL.)
Their date was good for one factor, although — whereas fishing for info over dinner, Kyung-seon managed to get Hong-shik to open up about his identify. Seems he and his brothers had been named after characters from the TV drama Moon of Seoul, which additionally occurs to be the identify engraved on his ship. Hm, I ponder how that’ll change into related once more later…
In any case, loverboy Hong-shik is a hoot to look at, so hopefully we get extra hilariously awkward dates earlier than the massive showdown. Absolutely he gained’t hand over on his horrible flirting makes an attempt simply because Kyung-seon rejected his necklace, proper?
