The eleventh episode of "Good Boy" kicks off in the vibrant setting of Sao Paulo, 2018, where Dong-ju is engaged in a fierce battle for gold in the boxing ring. He articulates the strategic essence of boxing: the art of patience, waiting for that fleeting opening and striking with precision when the opportunity arises. The scene then abruptly shifts to the present, where Dong-ju exits yet another clandestine operation, leaving a trail of lifeless bodies in his wake. This dark path, however, has irreparably strained his bond with Han-na.
Elsewhere, Man-sik remains immersed in a pit of self-pity, grappling with the grim turn of events. Meanwhile, Gwang-se finds himself squarely in the crosshairs of danger. A cautionary announcement echoes through the underworld, seeking a middle-aged, portly man in his 40s, adorned with a bald eagle tattoo. In a covert meeting that borders on the farcical, Gwang-se encounters Man-sik (doing his best to disguise his true identity) and expresses his displeasure at the "lavish expenditure of taxpayers' money."
Despite his dissatisfaction, Gwang-se is acutely aware that Gwang-se is the one whispering confidential tidbits into Dong-ju's ear. His frustration boils over as he demands to know Dong-ju's whereabouts, the tension in the air thick enough to cut with a knife.
Elsewhere, Jong-hyeon finds himself back at the precinct, summoned by Forensics to inspect a particular file. The revelation of two unidentified corpses propels him onto a converging path with Han-na and the rest of the team, who are each delving into the Oh Dollar case in their unique manner. Han-na, compiling scraps of information, receives a tip about a shadowy locale known as Hyedong Oil—a place where both Man-sik and Jong-hyeon happen to be stationed.
As everyone rushes to the rooftop, the group unites in synchronous harmony, fending off a hostile throng of gangsters. Even Gwang-se lends a hand, hurling barrels at their assailants with unexpected ferocity!
Post-scuffle, Dong-ju regales the team with his discoveries. He confesses to having bested numerous individuals for their watches, yet remains sans answers. He acknowledges the vast sums of money orchestrating this underworld symphony, yet the origins remain a mystery to all—save for Ju-young, that is.
Jong-hyeon, however, might just possess a fragment of insight. Recall the corpses he examined with Forensics? One lacked a set of front teeth, leading them to suspect it could be Silver Bunny. Should he indeed be deceased, this could prompt Gold Bunny to open up about his knowledge.
Meanwhile, the adversaries have taken refuge in Insung City, specifically at the Goldengate Central City construction site. Ju-young entrusts Jong-gu with overseeing operations temporarily, a decision that sits uneasily, while she devises a stealthy plan to use Mr. Baek to disperse drugs in Insung City, all under Yeon-ha's unsuspecting nose.
Yeon-ha clings tenaciously to the glimmer of hope that she will reunite with her sister, driving herself to the brink of exhaustion in the process. Leo, sensing her plight, lends a helping hand and offers her a ride back to Russia aboard his boat. However, Yeon-ha is unwavering in her resolve to fulfill her solemn promise to her sister—a pinky swear made in simpler times that she refuses to break.
Meanwhile, Ju-young extends an invitation to Dong-ju for lunch, footing the bill himself. Uninhibited by Ju-young's empty threats, Dong-ju indulges in a feast, his demeanor markedly more cheerful than during their previous encounter. It seems Dong-ju now holds the upper hand in their dynamic.
On the other hand, Ju-young finds himself immersed in bitterness and dissatisfaction, believing that diligence yields no rewards. Flashbacks transport us to a time when Ju-young was on the righteous path, diligently studying for his civil service exam. That was until smugglers crossed his path, beating him down and derailing his aspirations.
Having eavesdropped on Ju-young's dreams, the smuggler recognizes potential and tempts him with a lucrative offer—more money than he could ever earn honestly, a shortcut to success. With the allure of one of those mysterious watches we've witnessed frequently, Ju-young veers off the straight path, embracing a life of crime wholeheartedly.
Jong-hyeon visits the prison armed with DNA results that confirm Silver Bunny's guilt. As Golden Bunny spills the beans, he reveals Ju-young's extraordinary status. Possessing unfathomable wealth, Ju-young measures his fortune not in conventional terms but by weight—in tons. Every facet of Insung operates under the shadow of his immense riches.
Ju-young has essentially transformed the entire metropolis into his personal amusement park. Enter Oh Dollar's narrative, where a former Russian associate of Oh Dollar's, Sergei Vronsky, now finds himself serving under Ju-young. Notably, Sergei was also a key witness in the Oh Dollar murder investigation, a fact not lost on Dong-ju, who has had prior encounters with him. Despite the gravity of the situation, reinforcements are out of the question – consistency in their solo endeavors dictates this decision – and Jae-hong, burdened with family responsibilities, remains an impractical addition to their ranks.
Eventually, the team tracks down Sergei and discovers his fluency in Korean, contrary to the misleading subtitles suggesting he was speaking English. (Ignore Amazon's hapless subtitling here!) With his mask of secrecy now shattered, the group brings Sergei back to their clandestine hideout and uses psychological tactics to coax him into talking. Sergei spills the beans about a cash container, but with a catch: it could be stashed in any one of 53 potential locations. Time is of the essence, as they must locate it discreetly before Ju-young catches wind of their scheme. Pretending business as usual is crucial to avoid raising suspicions.
Throughout this orchestrated charade, Dong-ju persists in baiting Ju-young with an incessant stream of selfies, all the while methodically crossing off each potential hiding spot under the cover of night. Inevitably, Ju-young begins to sense something amiss, particularly intrigued by a photo featuring a shipping container at the docks. Compounding his suspicions, he learns of the autopsy report linked to Silver Bunny and rushes to the docks, where he discovers an empty shipping container and his fortune vanished without a trace.
His furious howls echo through the air as he laments his loss, while the rest of the team watches and listens from afar, basking in the sweet symphony of his despair. It appears that the tables are beginning to turn in their favor.
