D-36 minutes. Joong Ki races to the JSS headquarters while Yoona tells Sung-won that he may as well give up now that he’s lost the memory card. But Sung-won is prepared to see things through to its potentially explosive end and even reaches for his cigarettes.
She brightens when Secretary Kim calls to report that the JSS agents have reclaimed the lobby. She isn’t remotely worried that taking back the rest of the building will take time, but that’s when Master Song runs up to report that Anna is somewhere in the building.
Secretary Kim orders a hunt for Anna, and as shocked as Yoona is, she’s relieved that Anna hasn’t been caught by Representative Park’s men.
Speaking of whom, Anna is hiding behind a pillar in the basement level. She overhears her pursuer reporting to Representative Park that they’ve lost her, and Representative Park responds with destructive rage.
Amused by this turn of events, Sung-won walks right up to the glass and remarks how Min Ho likely won’t give up the memory card if Anna is held hostage. He makes a show about how he nearly deactivated the bomb earlier, but now he’ll just wait for reinforcements to arrive and defuse the bomb then.
Yoona scoffs at that, saying that she’ll just replace Representative Park’s men who are itching to leave with her own. She dismisses them and orders them to put down their guns before they climb into the elevator.
They’re greeted by armed JSS agents once they arrive in the lobby and are escorted outside. Min Ho is filled in when he and Chief Joo arrive and is told to come down to the Heaven Ten sublevel immediately so he can trade the memory card for Anna’s life.
Joong Ki finally arrives and staggers through the JSS doors to ask where Anna is. He runs over to the security room when he’s told that they can’t confirm her whereabouts, but the main feed won’t work.
On one screen, we see that Representative Park’s men are still looking for Anna in the boiler room. She waits with bated breath, but one agent grabs hold of her and Anna uses the self-defense techniques she learned from Master Song to fight him off and escape.
She crashes into Joong Ki and soon they’re surrounded by Representative Park’s men. As they pull out their knives, Joong Ki backs up and offers Anna his hand. She takes it, and then Joong Ki turns back to the men.
He whirls around to evade the first jab, then lays low to knock the others down and swipe their knives to stab them instead.
Anna averts her eyes from the bloodbath, and then one of Representative Park’s men grabs her from behind and points a gun at her. Joong Ki drops the knife and raises his hands…
…And balls one hand into a fist. “Freeze?” Anna wonders. He then gestures her to sit and as she crouches down, Joong Ki whips out a gun and shoots the man down.
The sound of the bullet can be heard from the lobby where Secretary Kim order the JSS agents to find Joong Ki Speaking of whom, Joong Ki ollapses to the ground, barely conscious, and he ekes out: “We have to get out of here.”
Min Ho arrives at the Heaven Ten sublevel and joins Yoona in the glass-enclosed conference room while Chief Joo is dismissed. She turns on the soundproofing, but as expected, Min Ho pulls out the memory card and tells her he cannot hand it over because he needs it to save Anna.
She reminds him that he’ll be throwing away the presidential race and lose everything, but none of that matters to Min Ho anymore. D-21 minutes. Sung-won knocks that they don’t have much time, but Yoona is utterly taken aback by how Min Ho is willing to give up the presidency for his daughter.
Min Ho says he’s not entirely certain about that, but what he does know is this: “I wanted to become president so that I could be more powerful than you… and destroy you.”
