The scene changes to Jipuragi Law Firm. 

"It's not hard at all. I have a knack for turning the tables. Gosh. Please trust me on this. I can win this" He keeps the phone back in his pocket. He opens the envelope and takes out the papers. 'NAMDONGBU DISTRICT COURT HEARING NOTIFICATION' He sighs and goes on the terrace. 

FLASHBACK

"I know this is a tough decision. May I ask why?" Mr. Hong asks him. 

"I realized it when I watched the trial. That if I stay silent a lot of people will be wronged" Min-chul replies. 

Mr. Hong smiled at this while some others like Jun-woo and Han Seung-hyuk were fuming in anger. 

"Yes. I am glad you have made up up your mind. Thank you so much. Then, what is their biggest lie that they have been spreading?" Mr. Hong asks him. 

"The clinical trials of the new drug was basically murder" Min-chul answers. 

Some of them were shocked while the rest knew this was coming. 

"Pardon?" 

"The higher ups gave the order. We were ordered to inject the new drug, RDU-90, to five test subjects infinitely. They told us to see how much how they could endure" Min-chul explains it to Mr. Hong. 

Most of them gasped at this. 

"How could they even do that?" Mi-ri says. 

"They are monsters" Hee-soo says. 

"They indeed are" Mr. Hong says. 

Cha-young was trying to process the information. She was siding with Babel who was doing all those monstrous atrocities and was thinking her father was fighting on the wrong side. 

"How could they do that?" Mr. Hong asks in shock. 

"And RDU-90 is not just a pain killer. It is a narcotic pain killer" Min-chul says. 

The scientists inject the medicine to the test subject and he coughs blood. The scientists try to restrain the test subject. The test subject dies. 

Some of them turned their head away not wanting to see the scene. Mr. Hong Clutched his fist in anger. 

"Babel Pharma didn't care about the test subjects' life from the start. I tried to drop off from the experiment, but they threatened to hurt my family" Min-chul tells Mr. Hong. 

"Of course, they would" Hee-soo says. 

"Will you appear as a witness in court and testify what you just told me?" Mr. Hong asks him. 

"You will guarantee the safety of me and my family, right?" Min-chul asks him. 

"I can't guarantee it now but I will do whatever it takes" Mr. Hong answers. 

"What do you mean? How can I testify without that guarantee. Besides... there is no guarantee that you will not expose me" Min-chul asks him. 

"No. Mr. Yu. No one will find about our meeting today, and I will take all the risks. Please trust me" Mr. Hong tries to convince him. 

"No. Unless my family's safety is guaranteed, I cannot testify in court. I am sorry" Min-chul says. 

"He is right in his place, he can't place the testification before his family" Mr. Tak says. 

Han-seok ignored every other person's comment but looked at Vittorio's face the whole time, noticing his face did not showed even an ounce of expression but his eyes were radiating a strange kind of chilliness. He turned his head to avoid getting caught but it didn't escape Vittorio's eyes. 

The scene changes back to present. 

"Mr. Cassano, Mr. Park, I already knew what kind of drug it was. I pretended to be clueless, so I could take all the risks. I will make sure to stop them" Mr. Hong thinks. 

"It's not that easy" Cha-young mutters. 

"Mr. Hong" Vincenzo says as he approaches him with his brother.  

"Mr. Cassano. Mr. Park. Do you have... Right, you don't smoke" Mr. Hong says. 

"Have you grasped the core problem of this lawsuit?" Vittorio asks him. 

"The core problem?" Mr. Hong asks. 

"Babel Pharmaceuticals, the release of narcotic pain medication, political lobbyists under the radar, a huge rebate, fabrication of a lawsuit. The entire ordeal is running like a cartel" Vincenzo says. 

"I know" Mr. Hong says in a low voice. 

"I know that much" Mr. Hong replies. 

"If you do, should not you back off?" Vincenzo asks him and Mr. Hong looks in his direction. "They are not business men. They are monsters. They couldn't care less about the lives of others" 

Some of them were surprised to see the mafias caring for Mr. Hong that way. 

"If I keep fighting, I will one day" Mr. Hong says. 

Vincenzo sighs at this. 

"Mr. Hong. You can not defeat these monsters" Vittorio says and Vincenzo nods in agreement with his brother. 

"People can defeat monsters" Mr. Hong tells him. 

"You have been watching too much fantasy series" Cha-young says. 

"No. That's only possible in myths" Vincenzo says. 

"You both sound pessimistic today" Mr. Hong says. 

"They are not pessismestic, they are worried about you and you should listen to them" Cha-young scolds her father. 

"You have come to a dead end now. You can't go further!" Vincenzo says trying to make Mr. Hong understand. 

"I will do whatever it takes to breakthrough even if it breaks my fist" Mr. Hong shouts back and Vincenzo and Vittorio sighed. 

Cha-young face plamed and the Cassano brothers sighed. 

"When you reach a dead end, the wisest thing you can do is to turn back" Vittorio says and Mr. Hong takes out his phone. He receives the call. 

"Hello? Yes. When? Which hospital? Okay. I will be right there. Okay" Mr. Hong hangs the phone and starts to leave. He turns to Vincenzo and Vittorio's side and speaks. 

"You both need to come with me" 

"Where are you taking them?" Larry asks. 

"How can I know it's my future self" Mr. Hong replies. 

"Where?" Vincenzo asks. 

"You will see" Mr. Hong says and drags Vincenzo and Vittorio by their shoulders. 

They chuckled at the way Mr. Hong dragged the brothers

The scene changes to the hospital. 

Everyone knew where the Cassano brothers were being taken. 

"Why did she have to go to work? She shouldn't have. Goodness. Being a public defender is so hard. Okay. Yes, over there" He points at the direction. "Let's go" He says to the Cassano brothers and walks in the direction he pointed before. "Let's go in" Mr. Hong says. 

"Go ahead. We will wait for you outside" Vincenzo says and he and Vittorio were about to leave but Mr. Hong catches them by their hands and stops them.  

"He is going to drag you both there" Cha-young says. 

"You both are here, anyway. Say a few nice things to her" Mr. Hong tells to them. 

"But..." Vincenzo sighs and they follows Mr. Hong inside. They see Mr. Hong bowing in front of an officer. 

"Hello. I am her attorney" Mr. Hong says and the officer nods. 

"Okay" Mr. Hong goes inside the door and Vincenzo and Vittorio stop when they hear the voice. 

"I was right. Aren't you glad you were close to a big hospital, right?" Mr. Hong asks. 

"Yes" Ms. Oh replies. Vincenzo and Vittorio see their mother from behind the transparent curtain, attached to the machines and drops. 

Vittorio sighs sadly but quickly masks it with the stoic expression. 

"She abandoned us but why can't I bring myself to hate her?" Vittorio thinks being frustrated inside. 

"Gosh, how can you smile, right now? You almost died!" Mr. Hong says. 

"This was a rehearsal for my funeral" Ms. Oh replies. 

Some of them smiled sadly at this. 

"By the way, who are they?" She asks referring to Vincenzo and Vittorio. Mr. Hong pulls them inside. 

Vincenzo was masking his emotions well but Vittorio's face still showed the pain when their mother did not recognize them. 

"They are... They are the lawyers who have been helping me with my recent case. Aren't they handsome?" Mr. Hong asks. 

"Yes. They are indeed handsome" Ms. Oh replies. Vittorio looks at his mother's hand which was cuffed to the bed.  

Cha-young looks at Vincenzo who was looking at the scene with mixed emotions. 

"I need to make a phone call." Vincenzo says. 

"We will give you some privacy" Vittorio says and steps out of the room with his brother. 

"I am going to file for a retrial" Mr. Hong says. 

"You can not do anything about it without my consent. Suit yourself" Ms. Oh replies. 

"She is not going to agree for it" Cha-young says. 

"If you die like this, you are only making life easier for those criminals" Mr. Hong says. 

"I stopped caring about getting justice a long time ago. Don't complicate things" Ms. Oh says. 

Vincenzo and Vittorio who were hearing all this, sigh and leave from there. Vittorio was standing in front of the window and was thinking of something. Vincenzo puts his hand on his brother's back to calm him down. 

Vittorio gave his brother a small smile which Vincenzo reciprocated. While the others smiled at seeing the brothers' bond. 

Vincenzo's phone rings and he receives it. 

"Yes" 

"This is Na Deok-jin from Babel E&C. You texted me this morning" Deok-jin says. Vittorio looks at Vincenzo and he smiles. 

Some of them knew it was gonna turn out interesting while a few were worried. 

The scene changes to the place where Choi and other lawyers were supposed to have meal. They were all clapping and enjoying. 

"Bottoms up" 

"Thank you" 

"Thank you"

"Thank you"

"Bottoms up"

"Thank you"

"This is expensive" 

"Thank you" They all drank from the glass. 

"All right... Today... We will forget that we are lawyers and will have some fun!" Choi says as she sits down on the seat. 

Cha-young rolled her eyes at this. 

"Yes!" 

"Ms. Choi what is your idea of fun?" One of the lawyers ask her. 

"Does anyone here has a special talent or something?" Choi asks them. 

"Mr. Seo is the best impersonator. He does one heck of an impression" One of them says. 

The tenants' interest also perked up. 

"Let's see it, then. Do it" Choi says. 

"Okay" Mr. Seo says as he stands up. 

"Do it!" They all cheered and clapped for him. 

"Do it!" 

"Do it!" Mr. Seo clears his throat and starts impersonating. 

"I am Ko Gwang-reol. Goni asked me to come here. He is very busy with the work right now. So he asked me to back you up. It's a small company, you see. It's a small apartment. This is it" 

"He is indeed good" Larry said. 

"He is good. He is good" Choi said as she laughed.

"Yes, he is good" Cha-young murmured to herself.

"It is Agui this time" Mr. Seo says.

"Go ahead" Choi says.

"Stop. Are you cheating? You gave Madam Jung and me the bottom cards. Do you think I am joke"

"Check the cards!" Mr. Han immediately says. 

They chuckled at this. 

"Don't touch those cards. Or you will loose a hand! Bring me the hammer" 

"I should not have done that" Mr. Han says as he chuckles. He starts to fall on Choi's lap. 

"Go to sleep. No, not here. Go to sleep over there" Choi pushes Mr. Han aside as she speaks. "Good job. Give it up for him" They all clap for Mr. Seo and he sits back on his seat.

"Good job" 

"You are good" 

"Who is next? Anyone else?" Choi asks but no one comes forward. "Is that it?" She sighs. "All right, then. Ms. Hong. Wusang's top dog. You are up" Choi says but Cha-young doesn't do anything. "Ms. Hong" 

"Hong Cha-young" 

"Hong Cha-young" 

"Hong Cha-young" They all started cheering for her. 

Cha-young huffs in frustration at this. 

"I don't do stuff like that" Cha-young replies. 

"Of course, you do. Just do it" Choi says. 

"She is going to tell me what I do and what I don't? Who is she, my mother?" Cha-young mumbles. 

"This kind of thing makes me uncomfortable" Cha-young says. 

"I am not making you do this to reward you, you know? You have made a huge mistake. I am making you do it, so you can make up for it and redeem yourself" Choi says and Cha-young sighs. 

Cha-young scoffs at this. Mr. Hong was also looking as if he could murder this women on spot. 

"Then, I will impersonate someone as well" Cha-young says. 

All eyes were glued to Cha-young on screen now, wondering what Cha-young was going to do. 

"Great. Let's give it up" Choi says and they all start clapping. Cha-young sighs and then goes to stand in the middle. She takes off her heels, tucks her hair strand behind and takes a deep breathe. She then starts dancing like Choi did. 

The theatre burst in laughter. Myung-hee looked like she will kill Cha-young at this very moment while Cha-young was smirking and had a proud look. Mr. Hong was also looking very proud seeing his daughter standing up for herself. 

"Awesome!" Choi looks at her. Mr. Han who was sleeping also wakes up from the noises. Cha-young continues to dance. 

"Awesome!" 

Cha-young went closer to Myung-hee and continues dancing. 

"Awesome!" Myung-hee laughs.

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!" 

The laughter still did not die in the hall. Vincenzo also smiles a bit unintentionally showing Cha-young caught his interest. 

The scene changes. Vincenzo lifts the cup and drinks the coffee. Vittorio was just drinking his diet coke. 

"Since, when did you start drinking coke, I thought you said it tastes like copper?" Vincenzo asks. 

"Since, Trump haters and Trump supporters fell in love" Vittorio replied. 

"What is that supposed to mean?" Someone in background asked. 

Deok-jin came there. 

"You are drinking coffee and you are having coke" He said. "Why did you want to meet? I am a busy man, you know" Deok-jin says while putting his bag on the table. 

"The ego of this man" Mi-ri says. 

"Do these two things I tell you to do" Vincenzo says and Deok-jin scoffs. 

"You are ordering me around now" He says but Vincenzo ignores him and continues. 

They chuckled at how the brothers ignored him. 

"First. Make sure Geugma Plaza doesn't get demolished for two months. Second. When we will demolish the plaza, my people will take care of it" Vittrio says.  

"Have you both gone mad or something? What are you babbling on about?" Deok-jin asks. Vincenzo takes out an envelope and keeps it in front of Deok-jin. 

Audience's interest also peaked up at this. 

"Now, I am curious" He says and takes out the papers. He seems shocked as he goes through them. Vittorio smirks at his state. 

"Dude, is regretting his existence" Han-seo said and Vittorio nodded his head. 

"Didn't we tell you? That we are not going to take it anymore. It is the list of real estate agents you secretly took bribes from. The transcripts of the recording in which Park Seo-do threatened the store owner under your order." Vittorio says. 

Mr. Hong looked at the Cassano brothers with a proud look. 

"How..." Deok-jin was now at loss of words. Vincenzo takes out a photo from his pocket and places in front of Deok-jin. Deok-jin immediately keeps the papers aside and takes a look at those photos. He mentally screams. 

They chuckled a bit at his state. 

"The moment he knew he fucked up..." 

"Photos of you at Shaina Hotel with Kim Mo-ran of Management Team Two, your mistress. In broad daylight and--" Vincenzo continues but Deok-jin cuts him in between. 

"Hey. Can you stop, please?" Deok-jin pleads. 

"This will be enough to bury you professionally" Vittorio says who was having a great fun at seeing Deok-jin's state. 

"Look at Vittorio having all the fun in the world" Cha-young said. 

"Of course, life is all about fun." Vittorio replies. 

"Yes. It will be more than enough, so I am begging you. These photos can never be revealed" Deok-jin pleads. 

"As long as you follow our orders, they will never see the light of the day. But..." Vincenzo leans a bit forward. "you should end things with Ms. Kim fast and go back to your family. You are married for god's sake" Vincenzo finishes. 

"Thanks for reminding that jerk" Hee-soo says as she grits her teeth. 

"But I don't have any power to post the demolition for two months. A month is hard enough. And I don't have much power at work. I am a mere employ there" Deok-jin tells him. 

"That's not our concern. Get it done. If you fail, We will make sure you will be condemned for the rest of your life" Vittorio says and Deok-jin again shouts mentally. 

Vincenzo takes his bag and starts to leave with his brother but stops. 

"And let me warn you. Don't try anything funny. You will be dead if anything happens to me" 

"Wait sir" Deok-jin tries to stop them but Vincenzo and Vittorio leave. "This is bad. Goodness I am in big trouble" 

"Finally, the jerk realised" Cha-young mutters.
