Dong-ho exposes himself to bring his foes to justice, putting himself at risk for prosecution. In turn, Su-jin stops at nothing to have Dong-ho arrested.
With Su-jin in the prime minister’s seat, Dong-ho meets with Chairman Kang in a ploy to take her inner circle down — forcing her to plan her own revenge.
Although Su-jin gains possession of Dong-ho’s Achilles’ heel, Dong-ho reveals he has a trick up his sleeve. Su-jin then hones in on Park Chang-sik.
Facing calls to resign, Dong-ho confronts Su-jin privately. He soon debates Jo Sang-cheon, where the issue of North Korea plagues Dong-ho’s campaign.
Dong-ho risks everything to reinitiate the investigation before the president awakes. In response, Su-jin resorts to a ruthless tactic to turn the tides.
