Warning: Spoilers
We return to the car chase, with U Data's men ramming into Ha-Na's car from either side. Do-Ki takes out one of the cars, driving in front of a forklift and suddenly moving at the last second so it crashes. The other, Do-Ki does a 180 turn and flashes his headlights on full-beam at both cars. Reversing, he obstructs their view so the Chairman's men can't kill Ha-Na and subsequently crash into roadworks. That was a great car chase, but now Ha-Na knows that the same taxi she is trying to catch, saved her but she doesn't know it's Do-Ki because she lost him before. So, she assumes it's another guy which buys him more time for now.

Do-Ki next heads up to Chairman Park's estate with Jin-Won. Events escalate quickly. Park pours a drink straight over Do-Kis head and then asks him to shoot an arrow Jin-Ho who is tied down, of course he doesn't shoot him, so he ends up tied too even though he could have just beat them to death, but his priority is finding the data mine so he can delete the videos. Well, that results in multiple blows to the chest with a baseball bat. Fortunately, he is strong enough to withstand it until Go-Eun wakes up from this emotional collapse and uncover the source of the signal by mass-broadcasting her sister's video, which was shocking. I mean she was just hiding in her room an hour ago. Well, desperate situations require desperate measures. Then, Do-Ki breaks free of his binds, smacks Chairman Park in the face, and then taking all the guards who stand in his way in an epic one-shot action scene. It looked like oldboy famous scene but this one is much shorter and less brutal. But still, it's a great scene. With the deed done and the police inbound, the group head off and leave the police to mop up what's left. When Ha-Na arrives with her officers, she finds the place a complete mess. The ground is carpeted with knocked out guards writhing in pain.

Meanwhile, the countdown begins, and the shed explodes, sending Ha-Na flying across the ground and Park literally just wanted to die so he stayed in there and died. A great episode and the best so far with a fitting finale to this long case. They left us a question though about Sung-Chul's wellbeing when we saw a brief flash of him on the floor wounded. We will see how they follow it up.
