A Shop for Killers Episode 3 Recap:
The episode begins with a flashback. Jin-man is securing Ji-an’s room even though she thinks the room is fine. She also asks for a window since men are working in her room. The workers ask Ji-an and Jin-man to come back home after two weeks. Jin-man says they will be hiking to the Jirisan Mountains. They camp in the mountains for the night, but Jin-man has a terrible fever and has hurt his leg. He asks Ji-an to go to a shelter around 5-6kms away and get help.
He scares her about boars roaming in the wild but gives her a slingshot just to be safe. As soon as Ji-an leaves, Jin-man talks to someone on a call and says Ji-an has to decide for herself. Ji-an reaches the location and sees dogs eating meat. He is triggered because of her childhood. She sees a hyena from her nightmare again, and he is afraid.
He tries to fight her fears, but Jin-man saves her by using a gun to scare the animals away. Ji-an is angry with him for sending her out only with a slingshot when he has a gun. He tells her it was because she didn’t know how to use it. After they return, Jin-man teaches Ji-an how to use a pistol but warns her that using a gun is a double-edged sword as there is death at the end of it. At present, Jeong-min and Ji-an are fighting drones.
They try to use the bulletproof cupboard to hide behind, but the drone plants a bomb. They are worried, but Min-hye comes to their rescue, and she disarms the drones. Min-hye puts Jeong-min under sedation and confirms Ji-an’s identity. She asks her to be more like her uncle and not be reckless. Ji-an wants answers, but a bullet fired by Seong-jo passes between them, and they hide.
Min-hye reveals a code embedded in Ji-an’s forearm, and that’s why he is always protected. She reminds Ji-an that every time she calls for Jin-man, her problems are handled, and all those things are because of the code. Seong-jo and the group are worried as they notice Min-hye is helping Ji-an. The scenes from episode one take place. Ji-an uses a sniper and breaks Seong-jo’s car window. Min-hye asks Ji-an to go to Jin-man’s workshop and hide while she covers for her.
Ji-an and Jeong-min enter the storage room, and Seong-jo fires at them, but they get inside safely. Min-hye finds Seong-jo and kills his driver. Ji-an remembers Jin-man’s words and opens the lock to the storage. They both reach a basement and meet a strange man with a mask who introduces himself as Brother. In the epilogue, Min-hye and Seong-jo’s men are inside the shed. From a distance, they show the shed, and we hear firing.

This episode also begins with a flashback. Jin-man leaves Ji-an alone at home on the day of his mother’s funeral. He messages his friend to protect Ji-an and leaves. On his way to the funeral, a few assassins attack him. We see another flashback, where Jin-man is called to court to testify against some man. All we know is that Jin-man gets a call saying Bale is alive and he is coming after his family. In the present, the lights in the shed go out.

In a flashback, Ji-an is about to date a boy, but her uncle interferes. One day she confronts him and tells him she wants to move out, which is why she is working two jobs. Jin-man tells her that she can move out the day she can hit his face. Ji-an immediately attempts to hit him but fails. One day, Jin-man, Ji-an, and Pasil (Jin-man’s friend) are working together in the shed. Ji-an tries to corner Jin-man but fails again.
Jin-man asks Pasil to stop her from getting near him. He locks Ji-an, and Jin-man asks him to knock her out. Ji-an wakes up after a while and is mad at Jin-man for knocking out his niece. Ji-an, in the coming days, tries hard to hit Jin-man but fails. She decides to take Pasil’s help. She asks him to teach her his techniques. He agrees if she pays him, as he wants to send his kid to a private school. Ji-an agrees, and the training begins.
Over the next few months Ji-an becomes good at it. One day as she’s walking, she sees some men harassing her friend. She calls out to her friend who sees the chance and runs away. Ji-an fights the men. One of them pulls out a knife, and Ji-an is ready, but Jin-man comes to her rescue. The police arrive at the same time. Jin-man tells her she is strong but should be careful when someone pulls out a knife.
She asks him to drop her off at Pasil’s shop. She gets there to realize he has run away, taking money from other people. The police find a gift for Ji-an. A note from Pasil reads you are no longer a slow slug. Ji-an smiles, looking at it. In the present, Jeong-min and Ji-an are distracted as they see cameras everywhere Ji-an is or is in her daily life. Brother has taken this chance and escaped from his chair.
Jeong-min is near the huge network connectors, and Brother traps Ji-an under the floor. Before he does this, he handcuffs Jeong-min. Brother reads out the conditions for the handover of ‘Murthehelp.’ She consents, and he brings her out. She asks him to untie Jeong-min, but he warns her not to trust him. Brother tells Ji-an that Jeong-min is the reason Jin-man has died. They both confuse her. She remembers Jin-man’s words about taking responsibility for every choice she makes.
