(Team Jipuragi interrogates the men sent to kill the Lees. Min-jun and Han-seo speak)

The three men woke up. The room was dark, minus the one lightbulb dangling over their heads. They were bound with ropes by their hands and feet and their mouths were duct taped.

"Sent to kill retired soldiers with years of experiences on the battlefield is always a bad idea", Min-jun appeared from the darkness.

With him, Vincenzo, Cha-young, Haru, Mr Nam and Min-ryu followed suit. Each of them carried baseball bats and Min-jun had a tool box with him.

"I get that I'm against the case, but that doesn't mean you have to kill my entire family, you punks!", Haru yelled.

"They're soldiers, Haru. That's what they do and they will not know anything else, but to follow orders", said Min-ryu.

"Who sent you?", Vincenzo asked.

When the three men refused to omit a sound, Vincenzo gave the green light. Min-jun handed Min-ryu a flat head screw driver, a hammer and a pincer.

"For a seasoned soldier, you must know how to withstand tortures from your enemies and no matter what, you mustn't break".

The leader began to sweat when Min-ryu gently pushed the screw driver into his middle finger nail. He hovered the hammer and looked into the leader's eyes.

"I will ask this once. Was it Wusang or Babel that sent you?".

The leader gave no answer. Min-ryu tapped the screw driver, hard enough to send pain coursing through the leader that his muffled scream can be heard.

"Gosh, your father is scary, Haru", Cha-young whispered.

"He is always the quiet one", said Haru.

"And the quiet ones are the deadliest", Vincenzo chimed in.

"Min-jun, take the pliers and pull that one's teeth out", Min-ryu pointed to the one on the leader's left.

The poor man shook his head vigorously, pushing his head back to avoid Min-jun and his menacing grin. Min-jun grasped the man's face and pulled the tape off as hard as he can.

"Don't worry, this won't hurt", said Min-jun.

"Your brother is no different", Mr Nam whispered.

"Ok, ok! I'll talk!!", said the man when Min-jun held the plier to his face.

"It was Wusang! The lawyer Choi! She sent us!", the man broke down in tears.

"Aww man, I was gonna pull at least one out", Min-jun pouted.

"Min-jun, bring him to me", said Vincenzo.

Min-jun dragged the man, still bound to the chair and placed him before Vincenzo, who was flicking his golden lighter in his hands. The man was shaking, in fear of his life.

"You will tell me everything", Vincenzo smiled.

"Don't dig your own grave. I don't want her to be six feet under", Han-seok smiled, "And I don't appreciate you digging it for her".
