The scene changes to a café. Cha-young was sitting there meeting the Cassano brothers. Vincenzo drinks from his cup as he asks.
"Of course, at last she will go to these Italian mafia brothers for help," Myung-hee internally thought.
"What is this about?" Cha-young shows them the envelope having written Jipuragi Law Firm on top. Vittorio takes the envelope and takes out the papers and shows them to Vincenzo as well.
"She wants to get help from them!"
"Getting involved with them is quite dangerous though."
"But at least they have a conscience and are better than those Wusang and Babel fuckers."
The tenants started murmuring amongst themselves.
"They are all the similar lawsuits that I have won. Real estate redemption for small businesses that have lost their ownership due to large companies. I did it without Wusang's knowledge. I got a hefty sum for them. I will help you both get Geumga Plaza. I don't care why you both want it, but I know you both desperately need it. No, you both need it at all costs. You are also the real owner with your brother, right?" Cha-young asks and Vittorio puts the papers on the table.
"This woman is definitely good with her words," Vittorio thought in his mind.
"Why are you giving us this offer?" Vincenzo asks her.
"Is that even a question to ask?" Cha-young sassed.
"Let me in on whatever you both are scheming," Cha-young says.
"You still want to be on with whatever we are scheming even after knowing everything?" Vittorio asks.
This question made Cha-young a bit confused but after a moment she was clear and said, "I don't care whether you want gold or kill people, all I care about is getting back at Wusang and Babel even if it means joining hands with you both."
Vittorio just simply smirked at this, internally thinking that this was getting interesting.
"Why should we?" Vittorio asks her.
"Come on Mr. Cassano, you are supposed to be the sensible brother. Shouldn't I be the one who is upset the most? It was my dad who died wrongfully," Cha-young says.
Vincenzo had to give it to the younger Hong that she knew how to debate.
"Even still, we can't let you. It is not something a lawyer should do," Vincenzo tells her.
"But a mafia can," Cha-young refutes back.
"Right now, I am not speaking to you both as a lawyer, but as Hong Yu-chan's undutiful daughter," Cha-young says.
"You are not undutiful, Cha-young," Mr. Hong says to his daughter with his voice filled with warmth.
"Promise me you will quit if you cause a hindrance," Vincenzo says and Vittorio gives him a surprised look. Vincenzo gives him back a 'trust me' look. Meanwhile, Cha-young gives a big smile.
"She is a big hinderance herself," Myung-hee scoffed. "These mafias are dumb to work with her," She thought.
"Deal," Cha-young says.
Cha-young was happy but there was someone who was getting restless inside. Han-seok didn't want his lover working against him. He didn't want to fight against his Vittorio. He will make sure that this won't happen either by hook or crook. He promised himself to make his lover snap from the trance his puppet brother put on him and make sure that Vittorio will remain his forever. Hell, they can even rule together being the most powerful people amongst these group of low lives. A psychopath and sociopath only meant for each other.
"Grab one," She says to Vincenzo and Vittorio.
This made the people in theatre confused as well.
"Why?" Both of them asked.
"We will clink these instead of glasses" Cha-young says.
"Hell, no!"
"Are you kidding me?"
Both the Cassano brothers thought together while rolling their eyes in sync receiving weird looks from others.
"No, thanks," Vincenzo replies.
"Hurry up. Don't you both want Geumga Plaza back?" Cha-young asks them and both Vincenzo and Vittorio grabbed one of those sticks and Cha-young clinks it as if she was sword fighting.
Mr. Hong just shook his head on this while the tenants and some other chuckled at Cha-young's antics.
"Are you both ready to turn the tables on them?" Cha-young asks.
The scene changes. Vincenzo, Vittorio and Cha-young were walking in a corridors of prison. The guard opens the door but Cha-young hesitates but then, enters it. The Cassano brothers followed after her. They went inside to meet the person who was the truck driver.
"That truck driver!" Some of the tenants exclaimed while Cha-young's blood boiled seeing the man on-screen.
"Gosh, had those breaks not malfunctioned, he would not have died and you would not have got injured. They should do a better job assembling cars," The man says.
"This damn driver doesn't even have a conscience!" Toto somewhat shouted feeling all of this was unjust.
"You are just as insincere as you were when you were interrogated," Cha-young says and the man chuckled.
Cha-young scoffed at this.
"I am here to serve my time, aren't I?" The truck driver questions.
"He knows he will be released soon that's why he is high on his horses," Mi-ri said while others agreed with her.
"Isn't that because you made and circulated videos that sexually exploited minors?" Vittorio asked.
"That man is even a bigger bastard than we thought him to be," Mr. Nam said with disgust in his voice.
"Why would you bring that up right now?" The man asks Vittorio.
"Did they promised to reduce your sentence if you killed him and disguised it as an accident?" This time Vincenzo was the one who asked.
All of them by now have understood how Wusang law firm and Babel work and were no fool to not realise that the man was far from innocent.
"What? That is ridiculous!"
Some of the tenants rolled their eyes at this.
"But then again, Wusang could give you a sentence of two years or less thanks to Korea's lousy and ludicrous sentencing guidelines" Vincenzo says.
Some of the elders sighed knowing that the older Cassano was totally right.
"I have no idea what you both are on about. I am going to stand on a trial for what I did," The truck driver says acting clueless. Vittorio hits the bars lightly with his document folder.
"He is a tough nut to crack, it will be difficult to make him confess," Mr. Hong said.
"Shut up and listen carefully. Tell me the truth from now on. If you don't you will die tonight just by brushing your shoulders with someone," Vittorio says in a calm tone which was threatening enough. The truck driver looks at Vittorio, then Cha-young and Vincenzo and then, back at Vittorio.
"What? Do you think I would be intimidated?" The truck driver asks.
The people in the theatre knew that the younger Cassano wasn't joking at all, if he wanted he could have anyone murdered in cold blood and no one would be even able to bat an eye.
The officer who was standing behind the gate was listening to their conversation.
Some of them felt something odd about that officer while the clever ones understood who the officer really works for.
"Who ordered you to kill him with the truck?" Vincenzo asks and the man was being nervous. He was tapping his foot continuously and was fidgeting his fingers. Vincenzo sighs and then, speaks.
"His defense is breaking, he will spill," Vittorio said in an nonchalant tone.
"This is your last chance. Who ordered you?" Vincenzo asks once again.
"Spill it, you asshole," Cha-young says. The driver continued looking at the three of them but didn't say anything. Vittorio stood up from his seat.
The rest of them also felt anticipated whether or whether not the driver will spill the name of Choi Myung-hee, the perpetuator behind all this.
"Let's go," He says to his brother and Cha-young and they also stand up and start to leave.
"Wait," The truck driver says and they stop. "Mr. Pyo. I don't know his full name," He says and Cha-young sits back on the chair.
"Mr. Pyo? Just him?" Vincenzo asks.
"There was someone who looked like his boss, but I only know his number," The man replies.
"He is just a small fish, simply doing what he was instructed to do, it's obvious he won't know much," Cha-young said after being silent for a long time.
"What does he do?" Cha-young asks him.
"I don't know. He came to the police station where I was at and promised me that Wusang would reduce my sentence if I did as told," He replies.
"Of course they did," Larry muttered annoyed at the injustice.
"I am going to kill you all," Cha-young says in a murderous tone.
"I am sorry. I am truly sorry," The man says.
Cha-young got even more angered at this. A simple sorry can't make all that right, it cannot bring her father back from dead in future but if destiny has given her a chance to rectify all her mistakes she is going to make Wusang and Babel pay tenfold.
"What is the number?" Vittorio asks.
"Sorry?" The man tells the number and Cha-young notes it down. Vincenzo leans down and whispers in Cha-young's ears.
"That is enough. Let's go," Vincenzo takes his bag and starts to leave with his brother.
"He is the one who did it," Cha-young says and Vincenzo and Vittorio stopped in their way. "But I can't do anything to him. I can't leave here empty handed," Vincenzo sighs and closes the door.
All of them were now on the edge of their seat anticipating what the older Cassano was gonna do. Even the Jang brothers were curious. Meanwhile, Vittorio already had an idea about his brother's future self's plan.
He walks back and slams his hand on the bars. Vittorio smirks as he gets the idea of what his brother is going to do.
Vincenzo smiled internally noticing that his brother knows him so well in the present as well as in the future.
"Mr. Lee! Thank you so much for your cooperation. I am relieved to hear that you will side with us!" Vincenzo says in a loud voice enough for the officer standing outside to hear.
Mr. Hong couldn't help but let a chuckle out at this. Others were also surprised with this.
"That's fucking genius," Cha-young also couldn't help herself to not praise Vincenzo.
Even Jan Han-seok was amused by this, indeed his lover's brother is not a small fry, another reason to have him by his side. And if Vincenzo doesn't agree, it won't bother him even a bit. As long as he has Vittorio by his side, he won't need anyone else to rule alongside him.
"What are you doing?" He asks and the officer opens the door.
"We will re-investigate the incident according to your testimony and get to the bottom of this," Vittorio also plays along with his brother and continued.
The tenants have started feeling good now because they know that this what this jerk really deserves.
"Why are you both doing this?" The truck driver asks again. "That is not true. They are lying," The truck driver says to the officer.
"Mr. Lee! Your sense of justice will prevail." Vincenzo says in his previous tone of voice.
"Thank you so much!" Vittorio also continued in the same tone.
Some of them were still laughing at the scene.
"What?"
"Let's go," Vincenzo says and starts to leave with Cha-young and his brother.
"Wait,"
"Thank you." Vincenzo bows and leaves.
"Wait! Hey! Damn it."
"This will get him killed, right?" One of the tenants asked and others realized that the tenant was right because Wusang isn't the one to let traitors escape alive.
The scene changes. Vincenzo, Vittorio and Cha-young walked out of the place.
"Is this how lawyers and businessmen in Italy get their jobs done?" Cha-young asks.
Vittorio smiled knowing that this wasn't even a fraction of what they do.
"There are more heinous criminals there than here," Vittorio says.
"I am very satisfied right now. I think we have great teamwork as well" Cha-young says.
"What teamwork? You didn't even a do a thing," Vincenzo said receiving a glare from Cha-young.
"You didn't chip in at all," Vincenzo says.
"What do you mean?" Cha-young asks him. "I stayed emotional and maintained the tension."
Vincenzo scoffed at this in disbelief.
"We both said all the lines" Vincenzo said.
"Gosh! They both will drive me crazy," Vittorio muttered in an annoyed tone.
"Ah, my poor future self, suffering because of his brother and soon to be sister in law. What wrong deeds did I do to third wheel between these two self eccentric creatures," Vittorio said in the most dramatic way possible.
Cha-young and Vincenzo both were ready to murder the younger Cassano this instant. Vittorio felt the glares on his back and quietly slinked back in his seat.
"Talking is important, but settling mood is also important. How could you not know that? Any way, I loved the noir vibe as well" Cha-young says.
"That wasn't even the tip of the iceberg," Vincenzo says and Cha-young stops in her tracks.
"Don't tell me you will shoot someone," Cha-young says.
"Miss Hong, you just jinxed the future," Toto said.
"You can't own guns in Korea. That won't happen," Vincenzo says.
"Who are you fooling, huh?" Cha-young asked the older Cassano who chose to ignore her for the time being, making Cha-young feel ore annoyed.
"Good. We are not filming a movie. Let's go and find Mr. Pyo," Cha-young says and walks ahead. Vincenzo smiles and Vittorio shook his head in amusement looking at his brother smiling at Cha-young as they follow after her.
