Dong-soo and Yi-rang flee from the movie theatre, but they are pursued by the rest of the gangsters. Dong-soo is able to get away and save Z, but Yi-rang is beaten up.
Yi-rang tells Dong-soo that she will keep the gangsters busy for now and asks him to leave in order to save his boss. Dong-soo flees to the junkyard while Yi-rang tries to bicker with the gangsters to keep them occupied. She fights them off but does not manage to run away. ..
Jin-seop is having a hard time due to his cancer, as he keeps coughing up blood. He has a vision where he sees Dong-soo inside his house and he goes to hug the humanoid. Jin-se0p looks at a set of drawings in his sketchbook and imagines himself as Dong-soo. ..
Dong-soo arrives at the junkyard and is tied down by the two thugs. When one of the two tries to kill Dong-soo’s boss, the humanoid goes rabid and beats him up with his hands tied. Dong-soo uses an electric saw to cut off his restraints and the remaining thug as well as Dong-soo’s boss watch as Dong-soo’s hand heals by itself.
Dong-soo beats up the other gangster and goes to save his boss who is tied up in a corner but the old man calls Dong-soo a monster. He breaks down immediately and the thug takes advantage of this and attacks Dong-soo. Considering the fact that Dong-soo is immensely hurt by what his boss called him, Dong-soo goes feral and beats the thug up.
Yi-rang tells the other gangsters that Oh Jin-seop, the one with Dong-soo’s eye had killed Woo-jin. One of the thugs strikes her in her face causing a deep cut.
Yi-rang shocks the gangsters when she tells them that she is the corpse artist killer. Just then, Yi-rang’s cut heals on its own and the thug that struck her calls her a monster. She does not take it well but Mr Kim’s right-hand man declares that she is a connect. She fights off the gangsters and runs away from the movie theatre.
The right-hand man of Kim Jong-un, Dong-soo, stops the gangsters from following his boss because he thinks that there are many more Connects that can be captured if Yi-rang is not busy running away from them. Dong-soo apologises to his boss for what happened to him and promises that he will not come back to work for him.
Dong-soo sadly bids the old man goodbye and asks to borrow his truck. Dong-soo wants to put the two thugs in a hospital. The old man tells Dong-soo that he will take them to the hospital and asks Dong-soo to leave. Dong-soo gets emotional as he recalls being a child when the old man took him in while the whole world detested him.
Dong-soo is leaving the junkyard when he finds Yi-rang waiting for him. The cops are searching the location where Woo-jin’s body was discovered by a local. They discover a camera there and try to find out what happened to him. Dong-soo tells Yi-rang how much he hates his body because he puts the people around him in trouble.
He states that Z, as well as his boss, were both hurt because he was a connector. Yi-rang tells him that Z’s involvement in the mess was not his fault. He blames himself for thinking that he could save everyone. Yi-rang knocks some sense into him and tells him that Jin-seop is the person that should be blamed for anything. ..
Dong-soo listens to Yi-rang and tells her that he agrees with her. He says that the Connects should take over the world because they are stronger and more powerful than the old humans. ..
Dong-soo wonders how just the two of them would be able to rule over the world but Yi-rang mentions that there were more Connects and that Dong-soo would be meeting them soon.
Dong-soo is alarmed when he sees a vision of Jin-seop coughing up blood as his song plays in the background. Jin-seop uses his own blood to tell Dong-soo that the time and location of their meeting had changed. Dong-soo states that he will have to go see Jin-seop to save Z and get his right eye back. ..
Yi-rang claims that she won’t be able to join him because she has a prior engagement. She asks him to call her as soon as he was done with Jin-seop and promises to meet him once she is done with her business. The cops discover the data from the camera found where Woo-jin was murdered.
On the day that Jin-seop’s corpse art sculptures were put on display, Detective Park told Choi that the famous artist Z was kidnapped and the person he was with was not able to see the face of the man who abducted him. Park added that the witness claimed that the kidnapper was furious over a stolen song.
Dong-soo arrives at the location where Jin-seop had asked him to be. He sees the car approaching him and makes the connection again. Jin-seop gets out of the car in a black hazmat suit. Once he is across Dong-soo, Jin-seop presses a button to release a gas that chokes Dong-soo. ..
Dong-soo tries to fight back but his body is unable to contain the hazardous chemical. Jin-seop observes Dong-soo’s heart slowing down as the humanoid chokes helplessly but is shocked when his heart starts beating rapidly all over again. Yi-rang is tracking Dong-soo’s phone and she is worried when it appears that he is in a car.
Jin-seop is driving Dong-soo to a location unknown to the public. They make a connection by playing Jin-seop’s song, and Dong-soo tells Jin-seop that he was wrong for killing so many people. Jin-seop responds that all humans will die eventually, and they continue to chat about life and death. ..
Jin-seop and Dong-soo have a morbid conversation about the murders, with Jin-seop justifying them and calling out Dong-soo for saving lives even though he himself suffered in the process. Dong-soo is weirded out and infuriated by Jin-seop’s comment. ..
Jin-seop, a corpse artist, tries to beat the body artist but soon realises that he is tied to a chair in the back of the truck. Jin-seop wonders why it was him that got Dong-soo’s eye. Jin-seop mentions he would still live if an immortal body like Dong-soo’s was merged with his and the two lived on together as one.
Dong-soo yells to break the connection and faints in his chair. The episode ends with a visual of an old man hanging by the roof of Jin-seop’s surgical room just like one of his final drawings.
The Episode Review
This show is getting better and better with each episode. There are so many plot twists happening at the same time, and the viewers aren’t given enough time to process one after the other. Jin-seop’s ulterior motive behind the corpse art isn’t really that interesting. ..
I wanted to believe that Dong-soo had a more genuine reason for killing people and making artwork out of them. But I found out later that he is actually just a psychopath who is making art and wants to be remembered even after he eventually dies because of Cancer. I hope Dong-soo does not end up losing his life in the process of saving other humans who treat him as a monster.
The main point of this article is that the chances of Yi-rang betraying her boyfriend seem low, but if the finale points to something like a plot point, then she may do so.
