Trigger – K-Drama Episode 8 Recap & Review

Jung-man Episode 8 of Trigger starts where we left off with the police operation to arrest Jung-man and Jung-man's counter-operation to take over Seok-ho's business. Mr. Kim arrives at the club to meet with Seok-ho, and the police storm in after him. At the bathhouse, Jung-man's men butcher all of Seok-ho's men. At the clubhouse, Mr. Kim and Seok-ho kill each other. Jung-man then takes his men to clear out Seok-ho's stack house, taking all the money. Jung-man knew that Seok-ho had sold him out to the police. Lee Do receives an update that Jung-man did not appear at the club. He sees Jung-man arrive back at the hideout with his boys. Jung-man takes the money upstairs to the waiting crew, and they are overjoyed that their plan worked. However, their joy is short-lived as Lee Do raids their hideout. Jung-man tries to escape, but Lee Do uses his sniper skills to stop his car and incapacitate him. The police take Jung-man and the boys into custody and seize all the guns in their possession. With the guns seized from Jung-man, the police report that they have arrested the organisation responsible for distributing the guns, giving them an advantage with the public. Moon-baek is dejected, and Jack is furious. The number of guns seized by the police will lead to an investigation and a high likelihood of the CIA getting involved. As such, their operations will be jeopardised. Jack orders Moon-baek to wrap up the operations in South Korea and head back home. In a turn of events, Hyun-sik's daughter takes her life. She was roped into a scam that made her lose all her money, including the money she had borrowed from Hyun-sik's pension. Elsewhere, the National Security Council receives more information on the organisation behind the guns from the CIA. The International Rifle Union is a major player in the black market and is involved in the sales and distribution of guns. The organisation is backed by powerful politicians and global corporations, giving it immense power. The person in charge of overseeing the weapons distribution in South Korea is Blue-Brown, aka Moon-baek. Meanwhile, Moon-baek listens in as the nurses continue to harass one of them. She had been working at the hospital for a week without breaks, and when she wanted to go home for a change of clothes, the nurses told her to wash the ones she had on and get back to the nurse's station. Later, Moon-baek meets up with Reporter Wang. Moon-baek pays him a lot of money to make sure that he captures when people use his guns. He intends to use the videos to appeal to people's fear and emotions, making every Korean citizen interested in owning a gun. Meanwhile, Lee Do realises that the guns distributed have a tracking device. He takes the device to his army friend and learns that the tracking device is capable of wiretapping. However, the device alone cannot listen in on conversations because it needs an assistive device. Lee Do heads back to the station and looks through all the guns for the assistive device, but only finds the GPS. He gets a call from Detective Seo and learns that another common occurrence among all the people who had guns was that their phones were hacked. Lee Do arrives at the NSU for a briefing and learns that whenever the IRU wants to venture into a new area, they start by leaving bullets to indicate their intention. In this case, the first victim did not take his own life but was killed by Moon-baek. He is the one who trafficked Moon-baek as a child, and the NSU believes that Moon-baek is back to take revenge on the country that abandoned him. While still at the base of the joint investigation, Lee Do receives a call from Moon-baek. Moon-baek has hacked into the system using a gun sneaked in by one of the employees. Moon-baek tells Lee Do that another citizen is about to use a gun. He shows him footage of Hyun-sik, who gets out of his car with a gun in hand and walks into a club. Moon-baek challenges Lee Do to try to save him. While Lee Do rushes to get to Hyun-sik, the investigation team reverse engineers the chip from the guns to get Moon-baek's location. While Hyun-sik goes down the warpath and attacks the men responsible for scamming his daughter, Lee Do rushes to his location, hoping to stop him. The other detectives follow the location of the GPS, hoping to arrest Moon-baek, but he has already anticipated this move.
