Yoon-kang survives the ambush, thanks to the sacrifice of Kanemaru (sob), then delivers the assassins’ bodies to Choi Won-shin. He tells Yamamoto to return to Japan, essentially ordering him to butt out of this whole thing. Then he warns Choi that if he wants Yoon-kang dead, he’ll have to do it himself—and to do that, he’ll have to put himself on the line.
That’s when the police, led by Jung-hoon, arrive to arrest Yamamoto and question him for Kanemaru’s murder. As Yamamoto is taken away, Yoon-kang tells Choi that the man he’d put all his faith in has been taken down. Choi growls that Yoon-kang has made a big mistake, but Yoon-kang replies that he’s just paying them back for his friend’s injustice.
It’s a somber mood as Yoon-kang’s gang pay their respects at Kanemaru’s grave the next day. Soo-in voices her worries of the continued danger Yoon-kang puts himself in by continuing his revenge mission, saying that he survived this time thanks to Kanemaru, but that he may not be saved the next time. She asks hesitantly, “Is it too greedy for me to ask you to stop here? If I ask you to leave this behind and live an ordinary life, would that be too much to ask of you?”
Yoon-kang feels her pain and apologizes, but says that as long as Choi Won-shin is alive, he can’t stop. Their tie of misfortune must be severed somehow.
The Japanese diplomat complains fiercely to the king for Yamamoto’s treatment, arguing that Yoon-kang killed six Japanese men. Gojong’s advisors argue that Yoon-kang was attacked first, but naturally, that’s not the story put forth by Yamamoto. The diplomat makes a veiled threat that the Japanese government will retaliate if Gojong takes Yoon-kang’s side.
Never strong to begin with, Gojong wilts under this pressure. Minister Kim plays Iago, reminding Gojong of all the trouble Yoon-kang has caused for them in the past.
Officer Moon urges Yoon-kang to run, anticipating the mess he will soon find himself entangled in. Yoon-kang argues that it’s Yamamoto’s word against his—neither side has any proof backing their claims—but unfortunately, he’s in the weaker position. Japanese men were killed, and the Japanese government will not be convinced with testimony given by Koreans.
