Our heroes pull off a profitable rescue, successfully forcing the cornered villain’s hand. Drastic measures are taken, putting our priest and his closest ally in mortal peril — will they arrive out on high but once more, or will this spell their doom?
EPISODE 10
Sustaining his cross-dressing cowl by fibbing that he sacrificed his voice to the gods, Hae-il follows Sang-woo to rescue Seok-hee whereas Kyung-seon distracts the thugs. As soon as Seok-hee and the aged staff have been safely evacuated, the squad instantly blows their cowl and makes a frantic run for it. Whereas Kyung-seon wields her sword of justice like a blunt sledgehammer, Hae-il jabs his method via the gang together with his lace fan.
He finally ends up strolling straight into Hong-shik’s workplace, the place Hong-shik regards Hae-il’s outfit with amusement. Hae-il faces off in opposition to Hong-shik — “How dare you hit a lady!” — and wow, his costume flutters very properly in a battle, LOL. When Hong-shik pulls a gun on him, Hae-il diverts its arc to hit the glass window as a substitute, permitting him to leap down superhero-style and rejoin his staff.
After a short bout of directional confusion, our bumbling heroes lastly escape the ship, piling right into a rescue automobile pushed by Sister Kim and Dok-sung. By the point the thugs lastly catch as much as the van, all that’s left inside are Ja-young’s shaman bells.
Exhausted from their slim escape, our staff catches their breath again at their hideout. Discuss turns to Hae-il’s sickness, and so they chide Hae-il for hiding his analysis, their voices tinged with fear. Hae-il sincerely apologizes to his involved mates, musing that he can go quick if he’s alone, however he should go collectively as a way to go far. Any longer, he’ll… *doorbell rings* And with that, the somber temper is damaged, and the squad children run to the door to seize their supply meals. LOL.
Theirs isn’t the one reconciliation, as a result of Dean Lee defends Hae-il to the archdiocese that tut concerning the current fights. It seems Dean Lee has a historical past of combating injustice, however after his shut good friend died within the fray, he vowed to treasure lives over justice. Acknowledging each Dean Lee’s guilt and braveness, Hae-il shares that in each one in all his shut brushes with demise, he’s at all times wished that his life would serve a objective — to make a change, and to encourage others to take up that responsibility in his stead. His phrases transfer Dean Lee, and the following morning, we see him proudly watching over the clergymen’ taekwondo coaching (led by an enthusiastic Do-woo) that he’d beforehand banned Hae-il from conducting. Aww.
Upon reaching house, Kyung-seon finds herself cornered by two armed males — despatched by Du-heon — besides they collapse the very subsequent second, electrocuted by Mari’s stun weapons. She’s truly a part of the interior investigations staff on the Busan Prosecutors’ Workplace, and she or he beforehand tased Kyung-seon to guard her from being caught on the CCTV inside Du-heon’s secret hideout. Informing Kyung-seon that Du-heon came upon about her hospital go to to Hae-il, Mari then confesses a secret concerning the residence — it belonged to a serial killer who murdered his three victims inside its partitions, and one woman’s physique was by no means discovered. Effectively, that explains the ghost.
Elsewhere, a livid Hong-shik beats Boss Park to a pulp for letting Hae-il’s squad get the higher of him. Now that his schemes have been uncovered, his Lao subordinates advise him to flee whereas he nonetheless can, and so they promptly pack as much as transfer out. That evening, Hong-shik meets Kyung-seon, telling her that he’s leaving the nation (learn: fleeing) the following day. He asks her to accompany him, however after all she demurs.
Hong-shik’s oblivious courtship proves Du-heon didn’t expose Kyung-seon as a spy, which suggests Du-heon is trying to minimize the drug lord off. However when Hong-shik confronts Du-heon about not informing him of Hae-il’s NIS affiliation, Du-heon instantly saves his personal disguise by spilling the beans about Kyung-seon’s deceit. The very subsequent day, Kyung-seon is unceremoniously kidnapped by Hong-shik’s males.
After retreating to a secure vantage spot, Hong-shik makes an attempt to set off the ship’s bomb, however nothing occurs — Hae-il has already defused it from the fuel station. Meaning it’s time to drag his trump card, and Hae-il finds the kidnapped Kyung-seon within the church, strapped to a chair with large syringes of kasanin pointed to her neck. (All of the whereas, Kyung-seon growls that she hates enjoying the damsel in misery, LOL.)
Tucked safely away in his hacker van, Hong-shik provides an ultimatum over the church’s audio system: Hae-il should take his personal life with the gun he left for him, thereby violating the Catholic doctrine. If he refuses, Kyung-seon will die in excruciating ache from a drug overdose. Tearfully screaming that she will be able to’t bear dwelling in survivor’s guilt, Kyung-seon begs Hae-il to not do it — however Hae-il, talking from expertise, tells her that the sensation fades with time. “Thanks for all the pieces,” he says, elevating the gun to his head, and a gunshot goes off simply as all the pieces fades to black.
Absolutely Hae-il devised one other method out of this predicament — I imply, there’s no method we’re spending the ultimate two episodes with out our hero, proper? I refuse to imagine he defaulted proper again to bearing all the pieces on his personal shoulders, not after he’s lastly come spherical to actually doing issues as a staff. Do-woo’s clearly poised to fill Hae-il’s sneakers, however I’m selecting to imagine that’s only a fakeout, particularly since a tragedy as devastating because the hero’s demise wouldn’t align with the lighthearted tone of the present’s complete run so far.
In any case, there’s no cause Hae-il can’t keep on as Do-woo’s mentor, even when he takes a (much-needed) step again to recuperate from his sickness. It’s why I actually appreciated that late-night ramyun scene: Do-woo, who muses upon how tough their path is, and Hae-il, who solutions that the Lord’s blessings at all times begin out tough as a result of that’s how we come to know their worth. Hae-il walked that tough path to get to the place he’s in the present day, and now he’s guiding those who really feel misplaced simply as he as soon as did.
