by solstices
Our self-sacrificial priest learns to depend on the loyal ones who look after him, as an alternative of shouldering every thing alone as he’s wont to do. With a few shut shaves, a couple of fortunate coincidences, and a brand new set of inventive disguises, our squad is able to get proper again on observe.
EPISODE 9
The bleeding Hae-il is rushed to the hospital, the place the physician by accident lets slip his a number of sclerosis prognosis. Moved by Hae-il’s tenacity despite his sickness, Dean Lee asks why he’s so dedicated to his trigger. After swearing Dean Lee and Do-woo to secrecy, Sister Kim and Sung-kyu lastly open up about Hae-il’s Bellator mission.
Whereas unconscious, Hae-il finds himself met with a imaginative and prescient of the late Father Lee, who asks why Hae-il doesn’t know how you can share his ache. “To these whom you share it with, it’s not ache, however belief,” Father Lee advises, encouraging Hae-il to take their arms. Deeply touched, Hae-il agrees to attempt, and he awakens surrounded by the involved faces of those that look after him. That features a post-tasing Kyung-seon, who rushed straight to the hospital after waking up amongst the recycling, LOL.
It’s not lengthy earlier than Hae-il will get one other customer, who seems to be a really distraught Martha. Pleading with Hae-il to let her confess, Martha breaks out into an impromptu musical quantity, recounting the story of how she was snubbed by her colleagues and threatened by Hong-shik’s thugs after she tried to reveal the drug ring. Hae-il reassures her by singing a verse again (each their voices are so good!), after which he shares his data on Hong-shik’s Saban cartel.
Quickly, Hae-il is discharged — or maybe it’s extra correct to say he discharges himself — and his first plan of action is to contact Do-woo for help. Aw, he’s attempting! Do-woo remarks that it’s unfamiliar listening to Hae-il ask for assist, hee.
Emboldened by Hae-il’s assist, Martha makes an announcement to the station along with her head held excessive. The corrupt violent crimes workforce is being withdrawn from the drug investigation efficient instantly, and a brand new narcotics workforce has been created to take over. Since they’ve been so smitten by making her a puppet chief all this whereas, she’s introduced in a literal puppet to steer the workforce. (Cue the ventriloquism, ha.) And who else must be becoming a member of it however Hae-il and Do-woo, as citizen watchdogs.
Onboard the ship, our bumbling squad barely manages to evade suspicion, however Boss Park locations them underneath room arrest till Hong-shik decides how you can cope with them. When Hong-shik returns, he callously murders the minion who bungled the assault on the seminary — which suggests he’s clearly not surviving to the wonderful senior years Ja-young “predicted.” Oops.
It’s off with their scamming heads, till one more minion pipes up. Surprisingly, he speaks in Dae-young’s protection: if he’s actually the serial killer, he must have two tiny scars on his again from a previous brawl. Lo and behold, Dae-young does certainly have them, to everybody’s shock.
It seems the scars are courtesy of Hae-il, who by accident impaled Dae-young upon a prong whereas chasing him round a tenting website. The minion will need to have made up a narrative after catching sight of Dae-young’s again, however why did he assist them out?
The reply requires a lot suspension of disbelief, as a result of it seems the useful minion is BING SANG-WOO (Oh Hee-joon), a narcotics police officer who obtained ditched by the power after 4 years of going undercover. With a protracted checklist of crimes to his identify and never a single particular person left who is aware of of his true identification, Sang-woo has resigned himself to staying caught on the ship.
Moved by their fellow detective’s plight, our Gu duo resolves to assist him get reinstated. Earlier than that, although, there’s a urgent disaster to unravel: they heard screaming from behind a locked door, as a result of Hong-shik has been torturing Seok-hee for data.
Elsewhere, the seeds of one other scheme have been planted. Having chanced upon the squad’s investigation board, Dok-sung decides to take issues into his personal arms. Contacting his Russian good friend DMITRI to rearrange a gathering with Boss Park, Dok-sung leaks the details about the bomb on the ship, which a panicked Boss Park instantly tattles to Du-heon about.
Du-heon doesn’t hesitate to contact Interpol, claiming he’ll quickly have the placement of the Lao fugitive (learn: Hong-shik) on their wished checklist. His betrayal doesn’t come as a shock, provided that his delight has been smarting at Hong-shik’s blasé dismissals and the brand new chief prosecutor’s disparaging humiliation. With an ego as lofty as Du-heon’s, it’s no surprise he’s trying to detonate his personal arsenal first — the one query is what lengths he’ll go to, and the way far he’ll defect.
Returning to the ship, it’s time to idiot the fishy thugs once more, which actually isn’t a tall order. Shaman Ja-young pretends to carry out a spirit medium ritual, claiming that the late Hearth Eel’s spirit have to be appeased. That positive factors our squad entry to the ship’s restricted areas, the place Dae-young covertly movies footage for Hae-il whereas Ja-young distracts the terrified thugs with a “ghostly apparition” of Hearth Eel.
Enjoying proper into their whimpering concern, Ja-young declares that she wants the experience of her mentor oppa and unni with a view to resolve Hearth Eel’s deep grudge. That offers her the proper excuse to rope in assistant Kyung-seon — who’s the oppa, apparently, as a result of out steps Hae-il in a costume. Ohmygod. He’s so fairly?!
With Episode 10 preempted in favor of reports broadcasts in regards to the latest political upheaval, our plot doesn’t progress very far this week — however that’s additionally as a result of it spins its wheels in place upon its jokes. I’m excited for shaman Hae-il, although, if just for how fabulous he seems to be in his fancy costume and rosy make-up!
