A Shop for Killers Episode 5 Recap:
The episode begins with a flashback to when Jeong-min asks Jin-man if he can work part-time with him. In the present, Jeong-min is talking to someone on the call, and they ask him to kill Ji-an. Ji-an is tied to a chair but is regaining consciousness and hearing the conversation. In a flashback, Jeong-min talks to his friend about the murthehelp website. They both reach home to find strange men waiting for them in the room. They are Bale’s men trying to find the hackers who had hacked Murthehelp. These men give Jeong-min and his friend a duration to get Murthehelp IP address. Jeong-min succeeds, and they kill his friend. Jeong-min does not feel empathetic and only asks to care for the body.
In a flashback, we see Jeong-min working with Jin-man. He constantly mentions Ji-an to Jin-man, who eventually believes Jeong-min to be Ji-an’s childhood friend. One day, Jin-man asks for Jeong-min’s help with his computer, and Jeong-min plants a software that can help him get into Murthehelp. In the present, Jeong-min shows Ji-an how her uncle died. Jeong-min is tied up and gets beaten by Jin-man. Jeong-min uses a deep fake audio and tricks Jin-man into believing Ji-an is in danger. He is tied up because Jeong-min was caught on camera, and Jeong-min reveals he is working with Babylon. Subsequently, Jin-man releases Jeong-min and asks him to inform Babylon to keep their promise. Jin-man walks inside the washroom, and when Jeong-min enters a few minutes later, he is seen dead in the bathtub. He has killed himself.
In the present, Ji-an calls Jeong-min a coward, and he falls for her trap. Obviously, they fight, and Ji-an escapes briefly and uses the materials around her to trap Jeong-min. She beats him to a pulp. The Babylon ask Seong-Jo to capture Ji-an alive. More men come in to capture Ji-an. They also have an advanced robot/drone to help them achieve their goal. Meanwhile, Brother extracts weapons from the walls and uses his computer to drop the shutter to the house, and the men who enter are trapped. Min-hye and Brother fight, but one man survives. Ji-an sees the Murthehelp takeover document and reads it. Jin-man has given her two choices: fight alongside the others or escape and start a new life.
Ji-an chooses to fight and tries to save Brother and Min-hye. The man who has survived fights is about to slit her face, but Pasin attacks him from behind. They embrace each other, and Pasin tells Ji-an there is no time. Subsequently, Pasin tells her that Bale is coming and he is the one who killed her parents. In the epilogue, we see Bale and his men watching everything happening inside Jin-man’s house through the drones. When Ji-an attacks a drone with a slingshot, he asks the other important members to handle the situation.
A Shop for Killers Episode 6 Recap:
The episode begins with a flashback. Many years ago, Jin-man, Bale, and Seong-jo were working together. They were mercenaries working for Babylon. Everyone has reached the base camp except Bale and Seong-jo in one mission. Therefore, Jin-man goes looking for them when he hears gunfire. He reaches the room to realize Bale is killing civilians. Jin-man reaches out to Yonghan and tells him he does not want to work with Bale in any more operations. In the court, Jin-man and Seong-jo take Bale’s side. It is pretty clear now that Seong-jo is in team Bale. Yonghan promises Jin-man that after one more mission with Bale, he will ensure he won’t send them on a mission together.
On the day of the mission, Jin-man, as the Captain of the group, asks Bale not to kill anyone unarmed or any civilians. He will get the man in question and must take care of the rest. Bale tells Jin-man that he knew he wanted him dead on the day of the court hearing. Jin-man ignores him, and Bale agrees to Jin-man’s conditions. However, when he is faced with two unarmed people, he does whatever he wants.
He unarms himself, gives the men a knife, and attacks them. Seong-jo finds a room, and inside are four women. Bale throws a grenade inside and kills them all. Jin-man hears the noise, gets up there, and confronts Bale. However, things get out of control, and Jin-man’s and Bale’s supporters pull out their guns. Jin-man decides to take the high road and tells Bale he will report him to the company.
He asks the men to blast the place and leave. Jin-man, in another room, finds a woman and helps her up. Turns out the woman is none other than Min-hye. He and the group get ready to leave after placing the dynamites. Jin-man asks Pasin to keep an eye on Bale as he will stay back and finish some work. Jin-man gets inside and runs out with Min-hye but is stopped by Bale. In fact, Bale knew something was fishy and had stayed back.
Jin-man asks Min-hye to run away as he faces Bale on his own. They get into a knife fight, and Jin-man is in a lock where he can’t escape. Nevertheless, Min-hye comes to his rescue and shoots Bale. Jin-man attacks him with a knife. Bale warns him that if Jin-man does not kill him, he will come back and kill everyone he loves. Hearing this, Jin-man gets infuriated and stabs him harder.
A Shop for Killers Episode 6 Ending Explained:
How did Bale and Jin-man’s rivalry begin?
Min-hye and Jin-man exit the building and watch the building go out in flames. Jin-man answers the questions the company has regarding Bale’s death. He lies, makes up a story, and tells Yonghan that he needs some time off and leaves. The group burns Bale’s belongings and bids farewell to him. Yonghan, however, asks someone to tail Jin-man. Jin-man visits his mother, brother, and family. He is introduced to Ji-an for the first time. In the epilogue, we see Seong-jo practicing sniping in between the mountains. He hears footsteps behind him and pulls out his pistol, realizing it is Bale. Bale still has the scars from the fight with Jin-man.
In the last episode, we need to understand who Bale is and why the rivalry between Jin-man and Bale began. However, we don’t know how Bale survived. Either Yonghan or the twins must have stayed back to save Bale. It was also interesting to see how Jin-man met Min-hye. It will get interesting going forward, as defeating Bale won’t be easy. Bale now has an army of people supporting him. Can Ji-an do what Jin-man couldn’t?
