The Horrifying Truth
Jiwoo is on the run from the police. He’s been caught with drugs and is now on the run from a possible execution. Mujin offers to help Jiwoo, but only if Jiwoo agrees to keep his true identity a secret. If Jiwoo reveals himself, he’ll be executed and Mujin will be arrested. Jiwoo can’t risk it – so he agrees.
After shooting Gangjae in cold blood, Yeon-Jin is in hot water with the police. Before she can face the music, Pil-Do heads over to her place and shares a drink. He knows she shouldn’t be alone and encourages her to loosen up and find some hobbies to occupy her mind. ..
Jiwoo opens up about her past, including how Gangjae tried to rape her. This is enough for Pil-Do to understand what’s driving her, slipping away that night when he believes Jiwoo is asleep.
Jiwoo receives a package in the morning from Gangjae, which contains a picture of the police force with her father front and center. Jiwoo’s father happens to have the name of Song Joonsu, which is similar to the name of Jiwoo’s former boss at work. Given that Cha said that he died shortly after joining the narcotics team and Sergeant Cho was killed for knowing too much, could it be that the police are involved after all? ..
Jiwoo sets out to find out the truth about Mujin and heads to the temple where he confirms that Donghoon was, in fact, an officer but he flipped on them and shifted his allegiance. He saved Mujin’s life, which served as the catalyst for when everything changed.
Jiwoo has been trying to find out for herself all this time, and Mujin has been reinforcing to her that Donghoon lived and died by the organization. However, according to Mujin, Cha is the one who killed her father as he couldn’t face the betrayal.
In the latest episode of Pil-Do, Mujin and Jiwoo continue their search for the missing police captain. However, Jiwoo’s dedication to the team and Captain Cha could well prove to be a decisive point. In fact, it’s so decisive that Mujin doubts Jiwoo’s ability to pull the trigger and instead tasks Taeju with killing the police captain.
Jiwoo shows up at Cha’s apartment that night, and stabs him numerous times. However, Cha gets a few good shots off to Mujin’s right-hand man but slips away just as Jiwoo shows up. She uses her bare hands to head inside, despite noticing the blood on the doorknob, and remains determined to find out the truth. Cha fires off a shot but it wildly misses her.
Jiwoo, a high school student in Seoul, is revealed to be Cha. Pil-Do, a criminal mastermind who has been stalking her for months, breaks into her home and finds the envelope with the information inside. Jiwoo slips out the window and makes it back to her car before Pil-Do can catch up to her. This reveals the true identity of Sanghoon, a criminal mastermind who has been following Jiwoo for months.
Mijun is angry and frustrated with her father for what he did. She wants to know why he was so deep undercover and what could have led him to this point. She also realizes that if she knows the truth, she may not be able to work with her father anymore.
Donghoon was a cop through and through until the end. Cha even had a final letter from her dad, reinforcing this fact.
Jiwoo is distraught and shaken by what she’s done. Determined to get rid of the organization’s mark, she takes a lighter to her chest.
The Episode Review
Jiwoo is sickened by the thought of working for the very people she’s been trying to hunt. This now makes Cho’s words about Mujin being the devil ring a lot truer as his fatherly influence has been completely misplaced to turn Jiwoo into his own personal pawn in this game.
Captain Cha may have a difficult time fighting now, given how much blood he has lost, and it will be interesting to see how the Narcotics team responds to this. ..
The acting from Han So-Hee at the end of the scene is absolutely heartbreaking and incredibly well acted. The whole scene perfectly shows her kaleidoscope of emotion, and it’s no wonder that she’s as torn up as she is.
It seems as if Jiwoo is about to get her revenge and double-down on working for the narcotics team, but her role at the police is still in question. ..
Either way, the final two episodes look set to have a dramatic impact. ..
