Connection Ep 11-12 recap: Ji Sung with Jeon Mi-do found out about the ‘Doctor’ who got him addicted
Connection Episode 11 starts with drug supplier Gong Jin-wook (Yoo Hee-je) having a conversation with the Doctor who was behind Jang Jae-kyung’s addiction. It was revealed that Jang Jae-kyung’s former high schoolmate Jung Sang-eui (Park Keun-rok) was the Doctor.
Jung Sang-eui worked at Keumhyung Pharmaceuticals as a scientist and created drugs and passed them on to Park Jun-seo, then Park Jun-seo delivered the drugs to Won Jong-soo (Kim Kyung-nam) and other consumers.
The profit they made through this business was saved in a secret account that had an 8-code password. The first 4 codes were known to Park Tae-jin, and Park Jun-seo knew the last four codes. Since Park Jun-seo passed away, Park Tae-jin had been trying his best to find out about the rest of the password.
Meanwhile, Oh Yoon-jin was at the hospital receiving treatment after getting attacked by Park Tae-jin (Kwon Yul). Previously, Park Tae-jin tried to strangle Oh Yoon-jin as her attempt to open the account, which had a huge amount of money, failed.
Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin shared their thoughts on what the joint account between Park Jun-seo and Park Tae-jin could be about. They also discussed that Park Jun-seo must not have trusted Park Tae-jin enough, as Park Tae-jin only knew half of the password.
Moreover, it was revealed that Park Jun-seo was aware of his wife Choi Ji-yeon's (Jung Yoo-min) extramarital marital affair with Park Tae-jin.
Episode 12 of Connection further delved into the secret meeting between Park Tae-jin, Won Jong-soo, Jung Sang-eui, and Oh Chi-hyeon (Cha Yeop). During the meeting, Jung Sang-eui was asked by the other three to leave the room for a few minutes.
He took this as a chance and recorded their conversation. In this conversation, Park Tae-jin was concerned about their friend Jeong Yun-ho (Lee Kang-wook), who was being chased by Jang Jae-kyung for a murder case.
He suggested that they should kill Jeong Yun-ho as the police would easily catch him soon and they would be in danger as they are all connected to him for their crimes.
Jeong Yun-ho, who believed that his friends would save him from this issue, received a part of the recording sent by Jung Sang-eui anonymously. Jung Sang-eui also hinted that Park Jun-seo was killed by Park Tae-jin. The evidence of the same is at Park Jun-seo’s house with his wife Choi Ji-yeon (Jung Yoo-min).
Later, Jeong Yun-ho visited Choi Ji-yeon and asked her to give her the evidence that was mentioned in the anonymous message sent by Jung Sang-eui. As he could not find any proof, Jeong Yun-ho attacked Choi Ji-yeon and left the scene as police were tracking him down through his burner phone connection.
Jang Jae-kyung rescued Choi Ji-yeon and moved her to the hospital with the help of his team, but he lost Jeong Yun-ho once again. In Episode 10 of Connection, after taking Park Tae-jin's advice, Won Jong-soo ordered Oh Chi-hyeon to kill Jeong Yun-ho.
Soon, Oh Chi-hyeon murdered Jeong Yun-ho, burying him on a hill. Furthermore, Won Jong-soo’s father, Keumhyung Group Chairman, Won Chang-ho (Moon Sung-geun), showcased his trust in his son after he got the deal with the mayor for his upcoming project.
On the other hand, the mysterious doctor who sent Jang Jae-kyung the drug regularly had asked him to meet him at Myeong-eul Garden. Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin visited Myeong-eul Garden and there they saw Jung Sang-eui entering a restaurant nearby and decided to follow him.
They saw Park Tae-jin secretly meeting Jung Sang-eui and tried to hear their conversation. Park Tae-jin confronted him for recording their conversation from the last time and sharing it with Jeong Yun-ho. They also discussed their drug business.
Further in Connection, Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin unexpectedly enter Jung Sang-eui’s car after meeting Park Tae-jin as they were following him from the garden.
Jung Sang-eui took them to the Yeongryung cold storage, which Park Jun-seo owned. He revealed where he made the new infamous drug and that he was the doctor, which became Jang Jae-kyung’s addiction.
Jung Sang-eui stated that Park Jun-seo was his good friend in high school until Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin came. After the two drifted away from Park Jun-seo, Jung Sang-eui and Jun-seo maintained good relations for twenty years.
However, Park Jun-seo left insurance in Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin's name. Jung Sang-eui revealed that he was frustrated with Jang Jae-kyung being unable to find the clues to catch Park Jun-seo's murderer, and he could not help but use drugs to get him involved in the case.
Jung Sang-eui shared his next move, which would take Jang Jae-kyung towards Gong Jin-wook, and also asked for a chance to help him avenge Park Jun-seo’s death. In Episode 12 of Connection, the Narcotics Department of Anhyeon Police found Jeong Yun-ho’s dead body buried on the hill.
