At Bleak House; secret location:
Ji Yong: That was unpleasant. (to Yukiko) Are you well, Ms Sato?
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): I believe so. Pardon my French, but what the hell was that all about? I'm never going to get that blood out of this shirt… Kuso! It was a present from Victor. He's going to be livid.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Hydrogen peroxide. I believe that was an attempt on my life.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): Heh. Good to know… Someone clearly doesn't like you being here.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Considering your prior work, I'm surprised you don't know this already. There are a number of people who don't want me here.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): I was joking, Mister Park. I have a tendency of making jokes after I dispatch people. A habit I picked up from Fi-- my former partner. Heh. Just be glad I didn't use the explosives… Another joke… I don't have the explosives set up here. They're at the three escape routes I plotted out. You know, just in case. I could use a drink.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Oh. Yes. Of course. I should have realized. My apologies.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): I do actually know what I'm doing, Mister Park. I know the few times we came across each other I was a little green, but trust me, I've had more than enough experience with this type of thing. Not that I still don't make mistakes now and again. No one's perfect.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Here you are. Don't worry. I brought it myself.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): Thank you… I didn't think you drank.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): I don't. I used to when I was with the Bleak House... I suppose I am with them again, aren't I? Hari insisted I bring it. She thought you might appreciate it... And I have every confidence in your abilities, Ms Sato. I would have never asked you to accompany me if I didn't.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): Well, score one for Missus Park… Or is she keeping her maiden name? I hear that's very common on the other side.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): Oh. Is it? I'm not sure. We haven't discussed it. I will have to ask her when I see her again.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): I think I should just kill Yuri, then you give the position to the cranky lady and we go home. Whatcha think?
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): ... I wish it were as simple as that.
Yukiko (to Ji Yong): … It could be. Look, you're miserable, I'm miserable. I'm sure our significant others are miserable. Just point me in the right direction & I'll deal with the problem.
Ji Yong (to Yukiko): No. I didn't bring you here as a personal assassin. Besides, I have no intention to start a war within the Bleak House. Yuri has his supporters. I do not. Neither of us would survive the encounter.
