EPISODE 7 RECAP
Seo-hae wakes up in an unfamiliar room wearing a floral dress and remembers last night’s incident with the Control Bureau. Standing in the doorway, Sun whispers to his younger sister that Seo-hae hits people who save her, but jokes aside, both siblings worry over her and tell her to rest.
Realizing the time, Seo-hae bolts up from the bed to save Tae-sool, but Sun turns on the news and shows her that he’s fine. She finds the coverage odd, and when she can’t reach his phone, she decides to head out. Sun blocks her path since she is injured, but Seo-hae pushes past him.
Sun returns Seo-hae’s gun and expectantly waits for her side of the story. Alas, she refuses to tell him anything, so he holds onto the only thing he knows: her name. Seo-hae doesn’t give him permission to use it, so Sun goes with noona instead. She scowls at title since she was born in 2012 which is five years after Sun, and the poor boy looks utterly confused.
He wants to repay his debt to her, but Seo-hae tells him that she likes working alone. He points out that she has no concrete plans on how to save Tae-sool and offers to help her even if she refuses. Sun hands her a present and tells her to use it to cover the scar on her wrist and remember him. Once he leaves, she opens the box and finds a thank you note and watch.
With all their things packed, Sun takes his family and follows Seo-hae’s lead. He drives them to Asia Mart, and Seo-hae takes Bingbing hostage. Though his underlings tense up—blocking their boss’s path in an attempt to guard him—Mr. Park laughs at the situation and taunts Seo-hae about her boyfriend (aka, Tae-sool).
Seo-hae throws the key onto the table and offers it to him in exchange for two favors. Mr. Park asks for some time to consider, and Seo-hae shoots, clearly in no mood for his tricks. He agrees to the deal with the trigger-happy time traveler, and Seo-hae lists her demands: first, she needs him to send three people abroad, and second, they need to save Tae-sool.
She tells him that Tae-sool was caught and shows him the news footage from earlier. She knows the hooded figure is fake since the real Tae-sool would never thank people first, and as she deduced, the person on tv was an actor hired by Seung-bok.
After looking into the situation, the brokers figure out that someone has imprisoned Tae-sool in his own home, and Mr. Park grumbles about the dangerous mission. Seo-hae turns to leave if they won’t help, and Mr. Park yells at her to stay.
He proposes a new plan, suggesting that they help Tae-sool after he gets out of the house. Seo-hae agrees, so Mr. Park orders Bingbing to send an item to Tae-sool. The others object since the higherups might complain, but Mr. Park says that their actions won’t change anything.
Sun drives Seo-hae to Tae-sool’s location, and on the way, he asks about their relationship. If she isn’t dating anyone, Sun asks her to date him and leave the country with his family. She refuses, and Sun wonders if it is because of Tae-sool. Seo-hae looks away, unwilling to answer.
Once they arrive, Seo-hae takes out her gun and rubber bullets, but as she leaves, Sun calls out to her and tells her that he’ll be waiting. She smiles back at him, and he breaks into a grin.
Taking position on the upper level, Seo-hae watches Tae-sool sneak around the alley, unaware of his pursuers right behind him. She easily takes them out one by one, but a couple of hooded figures find her and attack. She shoots them before they can fire back, but in the process, she loses sight of Tae-sool.
He escapes to the upper level where Seo-hae finds him, and he comments on her odd clothes. He asks if she is real since he cannot differentiate between his hallucinations and reality anymore, and Seo-hae notices him panicking. She grabs his hand and stares into his eyes, assuring him that she is right here. She leads him away, and Tae-sool smiles at her.
They return to Sun’s car, and Seo-hae jumps into the backseat much to Sun’s disappointment. After they drive off, Seo-hae tells Tae-sool about her partnership with the brokers, and he worries about it backfiring. Meanwhile, Sun pouts in the driver’s seat, and Tae-sool picks up on his petty antagonism. The two men start arguing about their age, and Seo-hae tells them to shut up.
The brokers point their guns at them, and Mr. Park accuses Seo-hae of duping him. Before he can pull the trigger, they hear sirens outside, and Bingbing barges into the room to warn them about the Control Bureau. Seo-hae calmly says that she called them and uses the distraction to steal Mr. Park’s gun.
While the brothers go upstairs to close the door, the Control Bureau storms the area and arrests them. Downstairs, Seo-hae demands the location of the back door, and Bingbing cracks, handing over the information. Tae-sool praises Seo-hae for being cool, and she replies, “I know.” Heh.
The chairman remains silent, so Tae-sool fires him on the spot. When the chairman objects, Tae-sool plays a recording of the chairman’s conversation with Seo-jin. He explains how he left his earpiece in the room when he fainted and threatens to send her to jail if he doesn’t talk.
Caught in Tae-sool’s trap, the chairman tells him that Sigma was there since the beginning and gave him medicine to fix his wife. Sigma was also the one who told him to invest in Tae-sool as well as put Tae-san in a mental ward.
Tae-sool demands to know Sigma’s location, but the chairman says that they contact him, not the other way around. He apologizes, and Tae-sool storms out. When the red dot doesn’t disappear, the chairman worriedly pats his chest, but after a second, it vanishes, leaving him exhausted in his chair.
