jung-hoo snaps to attention when “Ajumma” mentions a new job, although he’s skeptical at her description of it being “really simple”—nothing Ajumma’s called simple has ever been simple. She retorts that meeting a contact and taking a package is easy-peasy, and gets him going on the gig.
Jung-hoo pauses to look up at the wall-sized screen sporting the image of a beautiful island, his narration telling us that he dreams of buying a deserted island off of Panama.But for now, work.
The hand-off point is in a subway station, and Jung-hoo keeps a low profile as he scopes out the scene. Decked out with an in-ear line to his hacker partner—she’s JO MIN-JA (played by Kim Mi-kyung) he notes the security cameras in his sightline, and Min-ja deftly hacks into the system to divert the footage
Jung-hoo easily spots several suit-wearing goons stationed around the platform—they’re likely to become complications. Deciding this job is too much hassle for the meager payday, he turns to leave, only to have Min-ja remind them that they need the cash and that their market is crowding with competition. Jung-hoo turns back with a sigh.
First, they have to figure out who these guys are, and Jung-hoo sidles up to one goon and distracts him with images of bikini-clad women on his phone. While the goon drools, Jung-hoo surreptitiously swipes the guy’s cell phone and calls Min-ja with it, then slips the phone back.
With that information Min-ja is able to figure out who those suits work for, and it’s one of their competitors, Double S, to whom they’ve lost some clients: “They think they’re a Gangnam department store and we’re the neighborhood market.”
When the subway car arrives carrying his client, Jung-hoo makes sure to get to him before the rivals do, and quietly grabs the contact’s arm and asks, “You came to meet the Healer?” He pulls the man back onto the train, but not soon enough; the rivals spot them and jump onto the car, and soon Jung-hoo finds himself trapped with goons closing in on both sides.
In an apartment building, a young woman gets into the elevator with a deliveryman and comments that the top package is hers. She takes it from the deliveryman—and then darts into a stairwell to don a delivery vest herself, using the package as an excuse to knock on a different apartment. Sneaky.
She makes up a few lies about requiring signatures to deliver mail, and the resident reluctantly opens the door to sign. That’s when our fake-deliverer clutches at her heart and makes a big dramatic gesture of reaching for pills, asking for water.
