Two Weeks Recap Episode 4

Frightened for his life and his daughter’s life, Tae San does the unthinkable. He begs and pleads to his daughter’s doll, Ting Ting, to help him find a way out.  BOOM!!! Without a warning, there was an explosion, BOOM then another one. The police and the search party had to stop looking for him and put out the fire.


Tae San runs through the forest

Mr. Kim knocks Tae San off his feet. Tae San gets back up.He looks around to see who knock him down. He attacks Tae San from the back and puts him in a chokehold. Mr. Kim wants Mi Sook’s digital camera. Briefly confused by his attacker’s question, Tae San remembers the camera Mi Sook pawned it. He breaks free from his attacker, but his faster than lightning attacker has a knife at his throat before Tae San could move two feet away. The knife pierce his skin. Tae San moves his hand near his pant pocket as if the camera was in his pocket. Teacher Kim lowers his knife by following Tae San’s hands.  Tae San takes his chance and grabs his hand and head butts him. Tae San tries to fight Teacher Kim, but he doesn’t have enough strength to overpower him. Each time Tae San gets up, he would knock Tae San back down. Teacher Kim grabs and lifts Tae San by the neck. Force to walk backward, Tae San looks for a way out. He notices Teacher Kim grip is not as strong as before. He flips Mr.  Kim down a small hill. Tae San looks down the hill. Mr. Kim hasn’t gotten up, yet. MC → Tae San has taken the blame for Moon Il Suk all the time. If Senator Jo wasn't involve in this case, I believe Moon Il Suk wouldn't murder one of his fall guys. 

At the same time

Pissed off and angry, Seung wants to know where that bastard, Tae San is hiding. His young partner quietly tells him he can’t find him. Prosecutor JKK runs up to the two detective and ask them if they had Jang Tae San. The young detective shyly tells her no. Shock and pissed off that no one capture Tae San when he was in their grasp, Park starts screaming at everyone’s fail attempt. After taking a few deep breaths, Seung Woo  calmly tells her that someone must be helping Tae San.
 
Tae San scurries through a corn field. Red emergency lights are flashing. But Tae San knows most of the men are in the woods searching for him. He tiptoes next to the park cars. He notices a lowered car window. He glance at the ignition, but the keys are missing. The sound of a passenger bus gets his attention. He takes off his filthy dingy jacket and puts on the guard uniform. MC Luckily for him, the sleeves are long enough to hide the shackles on his wrist.

He flags down the passenger bus. He lies the driver that he is part of the search party, but he needs to leave early because his mother is sick. The driver believes his story and gives him a ride into town.



Half a hour later

Moon Il Suk receives a call from Mr. Kim. He tells him Tae San got away AGAIN. Furious with Mr. Kim, Moon Il Suk demands stays out of Seoul until he finds the camera and have Tae San’s head on a platter. Moon Il Suk’s two bodyguards, physical and intellectual, are flabbergasted when they heard Tae San’s escape from Mr. Kim.  MC → - Mr. Kim or Teacher Kim must be an expert or teacher in killing or hurting people. At first, I thought he was Mr. Moon's son. Unless, it is proven otherwise. I am saying Mr. Moon and Mr. Kim are father and son.



Shock by Tae San’s behavior, the physical bodyguard wonders if Tae San wants to negotiate directly with Moon Il Suk. But the financial bodyguard says that Tae San already figured out that Moon Il Suk wants him dead. Three men are puzzled by Tae San’s sudden change of behavior.
Moon Il Suk and his two bodyguards decided it would be best to find out who are Tae San’s friends.

She asked the second planner to find the best time to meetwith the custom director of Incheon. Her planner said the custom director has an open schedule. She tells her planner she will be available tomorrow at noon. Her planner reminded her that she already had an appointment with the CEO of MBS. She brushes off the appointment. She emphasizes to her planner the custom director  of Incheon is more importantthat the CEO of MBS.

Several minutes later

The two women gets ready for bed. Tae San breaks into the women’s house. He aims a knife wrapped in the newspaper at the women. He tells them he wants to rest at their house. He ties the women and takes food out the kitchen to eat and drink it. He stops eating when he notices how scared the mother is. He raises his voices and asked her does he look like he would harm her. She’s too scared to answer him. Then he realizes that she must think he would raped them. Appalled by the thought of raping any woman, he immediately jumps up and throws two jackets at them.

Tae San dreams about the last time he saw Mi Sook alive.  He remembers she pawned the camera. Then his dreams turned dark when he recall the fight he had with the stranger. Suddenly, he hears the voice of his daughter’s doctor telling him not to any infected scars.
He immediately jumped up and look in the mirror. He demanded some antiseptic, but the tied up women didn’t have any. But the young woman told him they had ointment. If he put ointment on it, it would not get infected.
With a sense of confidence, Tae San takes a shower in their home and change his clothes. He cries in the shower. He has always taken the blame for Moon Il Suk’s evil doings, but what is different about this situation. He wonders how did Moon Il Suk’s man find him out there. His plans to hide until the surgery is ruined.
