Who is the Mastermind in The Killer?
If you remember, Bang Ui tells Detective Lee that the only thing that can make him keep quiet about Lee's dirty dealings is if Lee tells him everything about the mafia who were behind Yoon-ji. It is then revealed that the mastermind is someone named Park Hyung-joo, a prominent politician and the Central District Court Chief Justice. It is also revealed that Yoon-ji’s mother, who is Bang Ui’s wife’s best friend, is actually her stepmother and has connections with Park Hyung-joo. Bang now knows he has to take revenge and goes to an old contact to get himself a sniper rifle with a silencer. On the day of the attack, he takes Lee’s help and heads to Park’s house. He arrives to find that Park is exploiting young girls like Yoon-ji, and his men are ready to fight him.
In a significant twist, Detective Lee ditches Bang and sides with Park Hyung-Joo, but neither is aware that Bang is a trained hitman. He beats everyone to a pulp, including Lee, and then confronts Park Hyung-joo, who reveals that it was Pig Mama who was giving information about Yoon-ji. And Pig Mama is none other than Yoon-ji’s stepmother. It was always her, trying to push Yoon-ji into the dark alleys of prostitution. Bang kills Park Hyung-joo and moves on.
The Killer Ending Explained
In The Killer's climax, we see Bang Ui trying to save his wife, who is with Yoon-ji’s stepmother. He arrives to find Pig Mama in the car and finishes her off. While Yoon-ji is now with him and his wife, there is still a risk that the gang may return to claim her custody as she has no guardian. But as Bang and Hyeon have no children of their own, they decide to become her parents and live happily.
