OPENING
Recap of the previous episode.
SD is shocked to see all the lights turn on and the other gansters walk out. DC is in front of them all. SD recognizes him and DC says hello in Mandarin(?). He says that he wonders his identity, right? I am a conman. SD says he checked him at the prosecutors office. DC says that he is pretending to do that now, the real one is injured. So now he is a conman and prosecutor, prosecutor and conman. Think about it, a good swindler like me has a prosucutor badge, that is like having wings on my shoulders.
DC says that he is working on TW, a lot of money is on the line 3billion. hey you…(they show him some cement)…then they say that the ship is ready. DC tells him this is a 3 billion dollar project so he is removing him. SD asks to save him, he won’t tell anyone his secret!
Cut to HR talking to JS. She tells him that their game is almost over, the guy he knows…SD. Bong says that their target is SD!
THE PLAN FLASHBACK
Flashback of them trying to get SD. The swindlers followed him around everywhere he went. Then they found the time to pee next to him.
DC pats him on the shoulder and tells him bye bye, lets wrap up. But SD says that he will tell him, TW wanted to kill him, he wants to have a change to get his revenge, die there or by TW. I really want to kill TW, I can do it, but if I am successful, can you give me some money from that 2 billion, at least several million dollars?

DC and crew recorded everything. SD tells him, if you do anything stupid, I am going to send this recording to TW.
THUGS
Kim tells TW that SD is a little suspicious, you should be areful of him. What if SD asked for help from the prosecutor? Be careful with him, he can betray you at anytime. TW says he won’t be betrayed by him, people only get betrayed when they trust, if I don’t trust him then there is no betrayal
TITLE: BETRAYAL EATS YOUR SOUL (PENETRATES INTO YOUR SOUL)
SD drives up to a large church with a file. He goes inside and prays for a moment, but he doesn’t’ actually know what he is doing maybe? Then he goes to the side and goes into one of the rooms there. In the room is Bong dressed like a priest. SD hands him the file.
SD – The bank, when TW asked them, they gave him a lot of cash.
Bong leaves.
SWINDLERS
It looks like all the secret black money goes from the bank to JP. They think that is the lake (the well).
THUGS
Ko goes to meet the thugs that are with SD. They think he is a thug but he says that he is with the prosecutors office. He laughs. then he goes back and tells HR and DC that SD said this is not his belit even though they foung his finger print.
TAE WOONG
TW reads an article. Then some bankers come in. the bankers said that he met with JP about 1 billion secret money. TW tells them to make the money and give it to him. Later, the banker looks through teh computer. But TW comes in and asks him if he made 1 billion dollars. Kim is with him and tells him to put the money in his account. The banker says this is JP’s money. But TW tells him, if you don’t listen to me then you are dead right now. The banker does what he is told. He puts the money into TW’s account online.
TW tells him that he has a very nice view there. Cut to them holding the banker over the ledge. He said that wouldn’t kill him, but TW says he never promised him that. The banker wants to be saved, but TW tells him that when you have a secret, there are only two choices, wither die or suicide. Kim pushes him over. He also say that he stopped all the security cameras.
TW goes back inside and types a suicide letter about the banker saying that he helped criminals and he is sorry.
PROSECUTORS

JP
JO hears about it, he doesn’t think this makes any sense, how can he just die like this without permission.
PROSECUTORS
HR and DC are very suspicious of this. KH didn’t wonder if this was a suicide, she already decided that this was a suicide. So the prosecutor is the problem. DC goes to meet TW but HR doesnt’ want him to go. he says, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. And he smiles at her.

DC and HR go to a private room to talk. DC says there were no finger prints on the will. HR thinks he saw the finger picture right? Where was the will, on the desk or in the printer? If it was on the desk then how are there no finger prints? DC thinks she is a real prosecutor.

TW says that he wanted to send him out when it got cold again, but it is a little too early, to make a new King they need a new Kingmaker.
One of the club members says that they think TW is a good person to lead their club it is time for JP to retire.

BANKERS
Two women talk about going to a new bank, how can he spend that large amount of money. Another worker over hears and tells them not to spread rumors at work! This woman leaves and says that she has something to report about K Bank. Ko asks her to tell him. She says that the banker didn’t spend money for gambling, someone asked him…can you keep it a secret…no I can’t, sorry!
She hangs up. HR tells Ko to check who called right away. Ko goes to the booth and starts asking around. He sees a truck and is able to get the CCTV from a car nearby. They find out that it was a team leader of the bank. HR approaches her and tells her that she is the one that called them. The woman denys it but HR keeps talking to her. the woman keeps denying it.
PROSECUTOR OFFICE
KH meets with all the prosecutors in a meeting. Outside, DC thinks the prosecutors are the problem. he meets with his swindlers.
SWINDLERS
They find out that the woman at the bank only likes doctors. They need to start their setting.
The woman sits at the hospital. Two nurses talk about their new fellow that went to Johns Hopkins and people wanted him to stay there. He is handsome and smart and single. But he is waiting for a movie star like person, maybe I should seduce him. the banker woman perks up as she listens to this.
Then DC comes in and starts to talk to EJ. He uses a lot of big doctor terms, but then he forgets one and EJ has to remind him. The banker woman gets up, but Bong (dressed all in bandages) secretly trips her. DC grabs her. She apologizes to everyone.
DC and the woman go sit outside and talk. She is there for her skincare. DC tells her that she might have a lot of stress recently, the skin show it. DC starts to talk about all the medical things about the skin and brains. But then he apologizes and says that he treats patients a lot. He asks her name, ahn Ji-young. He tells her that she might have a lot of stress. Does she have any secret that she can’t tell anyone. If she does then she has a lot of dopamine building in her brain, when you have too much dopamine then it will lead to craziness (lots of medical terms). So you should tell your secret to someone as soon as possible. He smiles and drinks his coffee.

The woman leaves after her meeting; DC still pretends like he is on rounds and goes down the escalator, he sees her and waves at her. they go up and talk. He asks her what happened? But then SR sees him and thinks that she knows him. She is too far away though.
Later, DC and the banker go to a nice place to talk. He tells her that chamomile tea helps you remove all your secrets, don’t’ you want to say them? The banker says that someone she knows at work killed themselves, but she can’t tell him. Afterwards, the banker gives DC a lot of kimchi that her mother made. He thanks her for it.

The woman says that she can see him tomorrow, maybe 7pm at this cafe. they leave and we see that someone is taking their photo.
PUFFS AND MOM
Puffs eats at Mom’s restaurant. He says that he likes it, but it needs something. You have to eat it with his puffs. She is all like, evaluate my menu, don’t try to see your things. HR comes in at that moment and sits with them. Puffs tells her that their is beauty in puffs(?). He says that rice slips thorugh your fingers easily, but with pressure and water, finally, you reach a point where it has a chemical change. After enduring all of that, you have a big sound. Poof! that is the sound of rice puffs.
SWINDLERS
The swindlers talk about how his meeting went. EJ thinks she has high standards. DC tells them that she gave them some kimchi, it is in the car. But EJ just yells, I am not eating that kimchi!
The next day, DC goes through a roadblock, they check his car and let him go.
DC gets to work and is greated with a lot of Puffs that HR brought. HR says Puffs is a super great guy and starts to talk about all the chemical reaction and pressure and hot and…but then DC starts to say the exact same thing…it endures all that time and then poof! Puffs is made. HR wonders if they know each other , but he says of course not.
They leave and HR says that the woman from the bank says that he had to whistle blow because the woman from the bank said that he has a lot of bribery money, it is all over the news. Cameras show up and surround them. DC tells them that he will show them if they are really wondering.
He goes to his car and shows them the kimchi, but it is filled with money. He jumps back shocked and all the news crews take photos of it all.
TW laughs elsewhere as he catches a big fish.
DC thinks this is a good switch, now will be his pressure and endurance time.
PROSECUTORS
HR, DC, and the CEO are being yelled at by DY. DC is suspended, he has to return his badge. The three leave and sit in CEO’s office. The CEO thinks it is all his fault, he should have stopped them and behaved more like their chief. He feels so bad for JS, how can he look at his face?
DC goes back to his office and looks at his nameplate. He thinks that he is sorry, especially to JS. JS is thinking while in his office at the swindler. They all get home and he tells them that the wrong ways will bring the wrong result. HR thinks it is just a mistake, she will take care of it. But JS says HR shouldn’t make excuses, she hung out with swindlers and she became one also. JS starts to stand up and everyone looks at him.
He stands up, HR wants to help him, but he shakes her off. He says that he will take his own position back. Then he looks at DC, because of someone like you..pretending to me me…this happened, that is so embarrassing. He swindler, just get out now.
Everyone looks at the two of them facing off.
