Your Enemy Is Closest To You
In the episode, one of the kids at Hope Welfare Center tells Crazy Dog about a plan to leave with Numbers 11 and 12. Moon-Kang smiles evilly and likens them all to hares, and decides to let them leave. He’ll hunt them down one by one.
In the present, we see that Sung-Hoon actually left a message for Eun-Ki, deciding to fool everyone to keep up the façade that he’s against his own brother and on the side of the police. When Sung-Joon finds out, he warmly embraces his brother. The reaction is stiff, prompting Sung-Joon to apologize and drop his head slightly.
Sung-Hoon is not there for the love of his family. He’s actually there to enlist his brother’s help in catching the killer - even if that killer is Sung-Joon himself. Sung-Joon is shocked when he finds out about the button found at the crime scene, confused over how it ended up on the rooftop. He doesn’t even remember losing it. Sung-Hoon is not so sure… until he learns of the recording. ..
Sung-Joon never actually found the knife at Man-Chun’s place, but when he was there, Won-Woong was still alive. This, coupled with the marks on his arms from being tortured, is enough for Sung-Hoon to believe him. Sung-Hoon tells him to run everything by him first in relation to the case from now on. ..
Sung-Hoon’s mother takes to the news to give a statement. Sung-Joon is also given money, the keys to a motorcycle and some clothes too by his brother. Sung-Hoon is quick to point out this isn’t a game, going on to reiterate they need to find out who the real killer is. That’s difficult to do though given Moon-kang is the one with Man-Chun’s recording.
Baek goes ballistic, having had enough of his wife’s erratic behavior. Unfortunately, as the pair wrestle over Ji-Eun’s cake, she slips and falls over, banging her head on the edge of a cabinet, bleeding profusely. This occurs just after Sung-Joon sneaks in and begins looking around for the recording, unable to find it as he has no idea it’s pinned behind a picture frame. ..
Sung-Hoon and his team are trying to figure out how a drone could have been in the air at the time that Man-Chun was killed. They’re also trying to find out who made the drone and why they did it.
The taxi driver continues to stalk Yu-Na. He picks her up drunkenly from the club and rides out into the woods. Donning his black hood and raincoat, he drags her out the car. Yu-Na rings Eun-Ki though, pleading with her for help.
Eun-Ki gets the police involved after she detects a signal coming from the woods. They follow the signal and find Yu-Na unconscious on the floor with cuts and bruises. Thankfully, she is still alive. Eun-Ki is the one to find her and takes her to the hospital. Her statement helps solve the case, as Yu-Na was able to identify the taxi driver who had attacked her. ..
The mysterious Number 7 has been mentioned by both Moon-Kang and Yeom, and it seems they may have a point. The burn on the guy’s arm is suspicious, as is the fact that all of the boys from Hope Welfare Center are working together for revenge. It’s possible that this is some sort of plan by Number 7, but we’ll just have to wait and see what he does next.
Sung-Hoon and Sung-Joon are unaware of this though (not from what we’ve seen on-screen anyway) and try to work out what the tattoo may mean. Sung-Joon thinks Moon-kang is responsible and that Hye-Jin scratched Moon-kang’s arm, explaining the irritated skin. It’s a plausible theory but they need to prove it, and part of that comes from gathering evidence.
Sung-Joon sneaks by to find the medical examiner who confirms that the fingernail has unknown DNA under the fingernail. But who does it belong to? Well, the police are already on the case and feed this back to Yeom, who receives the news about the medical results too and tries to work out what this all means.
Sung-Joon shows up at the taxi driver’s (Mr Choi’s) apartment but he’s dead. Someone else had already got there first. A buzzing phone atop a clock sees Sung-Joon answer, where In-Seong rings and questions where he is. However, police show up just after, prompting Sung-Joon to slip out the window.
Sung-Joon’s brother is not happy with how his brother is acting and brings up how Sung-Joon has always been like this. Sung-Joon counters that no one is investigating properly and he wants to do everything he can to try and solve the case.
The killer recorded a meeting with Mr. Choi, claiming that the guy is Number 7. Apparently, this is because of what happened to Number 24.
The killer in the courtroom on the day of Man-Chun’s trial was glaring at Crazy Dog all the time, but who could it be? One thing is for certain though, they were inside the courtroom when Man-Chun’s trial was taking place.
Sung-Joon and Sung-Hoon both check the recording and realize that the footsteps of the killer heading down the stairs is a massive clue. The killer seems to have a limp. And on the Jury, the engineer Jung In-Sung, fits the description.
The Episode Review
After yesterday’s subdued episode, Blind delivers a really gripping and enthralling chapter with plenty of revelations and even more questions coming into the fold. The killer is one of the boys from Hope Welfare Center and the key cause of this murderous rampage is to do with Crazy Dog and Boy 24. Could this be in relation to one of the kids ratting out their escape plan to Crazy Dog? ..
In this case, we have a lot of unknown information about the case. We don’t know who Mr Choi was or which child he is, but we do know that he was one of the kids from back then. I’m still thinking that Sung-Hoon is one of them too, but I haven’t been able to confirm that yet.
This episode was another great one from Blind. It’s hard to predict what will happen next, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun.
