The stench of alcohol coming out of Min-joo and Geon-woo's pores prompted Moo-won to switch gears, getting everyone over to a more spacious meeting area where they could comfortably go over the evidence and develop a solid plan with lunch they picked up along the way from Subway. At Geon-woo's home-turned safehouse, where the living room was renovated to be soundproof and made into a makeshift situation room, everyone sat in front of a large television flat screen munching on their sandwiches except for Geon-woo. His stomach was still upset from all the surprises and upheavals from the morning. It was nervous about so many things. He sat back away from the group as the lone wolf he tended to be slouching down in a single wooden-backed bar stool he brought in from the kitchen, reading a file.

Sol A marveled over the home, "Whoa! This place is really great? Quite unexpected to see that our tax dollars go to—"

Professor Yang added, "-Oh, Miss Kang, surely we don't pay for something this nice."

Geon-woo gave Moo-won a look for him not to say anything about his ownership. Moo-won stood up as he electronically shut the window shades, "You can all do your research if you're that interested." He clapped his hands, getting everyone's attention. "Okay, let's continue. Shall we analyze what we have?"

Duk-hoo put his sandwich down. He punched the keyboard on his laptop, bringing up the South Korean President's picture up onto the screen as Moo-won continued, "We were informed by the President that Han Joon-hwi is able to remote view, and is seen as a potential security threat—"

Sol A raised her hand, "I still don't get why he'd be a national security threat when his superiors told him to—"

Min-joo chimed in, "--It doesn't seem the reason Mr. Han Joon-hwi is considered a threat is due to what he did at the mine, but that he's a psychic spy. They've been used all over the world, and killed. Most famously the CIA used remote viewers to see what the Soviet Union was doing with nuclear weapons during the Cold War. Psychic spies with the CIA could describe a site where Soviets were building long-range missiles. It's believed their best psychic spy who was able to remotely view that site and give coordinates was killed by KGB agents in America. Their abilities are taken very seriously."

Professor Yang gasped, "It's actually a real thing?" He wondered now if Joon-hwi did so well in school not because he worked hard, but he could view tests on teacher's desks without having to even break into offices. Maybe even the insides of textbooks without opening them? No, he thought, "Joon-hwi, is a man of ethics. When he found out his Uncle was covering up a murder and made a deal with a rapist, he was going to report him. Even if he is...this psychic spy or whatever...he shouldn't be considered a threat, he--"

Geon-woo lifted the file from his lap, questioning Professor Yang's faith in Joon-hwi, "--Would he had reported his Uncle? If his Uncle wasn't murdered, would he had actually reported him? Didn't he keep quiet about potentially being the reason his Uncle died after their confrontation led to his Uncle falling down the stairs?"

Professor Yang was silenced into rethinking what he knows about Joon-hwi. But for Sol A, Geon-woo seemed hell bent on examining his reasoning—as if to say--given the chance to get away with a criminal act, would he? That he lied to her about his involvement at the mine and with his military unit? She wouldn't let what she knows about the man she loves, be changed. She stood up and turned to Geon-woo as if she were defending Joon-hwi in court, "It was clear Joon-hwi's Uncle died of an overdose and the initial suspect was Professor Yang, but you have him here helping you. Joon-hwi wasn't going to fight. He was ready to take the guilty plea when the second autopsy was falsified by his Aunt to get the inheritance, and left law school in the middle of the semester. When Joon-hwi told me about the mine, he felt awful the men inside didn't get a chance to defend themselves." She wouldn't let these detectives tarnish him. "He concedes to the law."
