"Taxi Driver" Episode 13 Recap: A Visit to the Bahamas Embassy
The Rainbow Taxi team is now looking for a new plan to gather all the criminals they handed over to Paradise Credit Chairman Baek Sung Mi (Cha Ji Yeon.)
To recall, the lady boss tricked Jang Sung Chul (Kim Eui Sung) and Kim Do Ki (Lee Je Hoon) after the group fell into the trap of Chairman Baek.
Despite her move to sabotage the Rainbow Taxi group in order to save one of his men, Do Ki managed to track Goo Yeong Tae (Lee Ho Chul), who is hiding at the Bahamas Embassy.
He infiltrated the foreign embassy by creating a commotion.
There, he found the wounded Yeong Tae and took him in a pre-set camouflage ambulance with the help of Ahn Go Eun ( Pyo Ye Jin) and Choi Kyung Goo (Jang Hyuk Jin.)

Mr. Jang's Deal with Chairman Baek
With Yeong Tae held captive by the Rainbow Taxi team, Mr. Jang made a deal with Chairman Baek in exchange for the criminals--who were the suspects on the group's previous missions.
Unfortunately, Baek Sung Mi had the idea of using the prisoners to get revenge against Do Ki's group.
Upon the trade, Prosecutor Kang Ha Na (Esom) appeared at the scene and told Do Ki that they would take care of Yeong Tae's case.
A police officer also arrested Do Ki for aiding and assisting a criminal.
During the investigation, team leader Park Dong Pil (Heo Jeong Do) accused the deluxe taxi driver of concealing the criminal without consulting the prosecution; however, Kang Ha Na insisted that he is her informant.
This alibi was doubted by the head of the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office, Jo Jin Woo (Yoo Seung Mok), who was suspicious of Kim Do Ki's involvement with their case.
The Revenge of the Criminals
"Taxi Driver" episode 13 also showed how the criminals took their much-awaited revenge against their previous victims and the Rainbow Taxi group.
It came after Ahn Go Eun received a call from Kang Maria (Jo In) saying that she saw Jo Jong Geun (Song Deok Ho) at the factory.
In her attempt to save Kang Maria, she went to the jeotal factory all by herself but was abducted by the criminals alongside Kang Maria.
Unfortunately, this is only the start of their revenge against Do Ki. Together with Chairman Baek, the group took over Mr. Jang's house, threatening the lives of him and Choi Kyung Goo.
Luckily, Park Jin Eon (Bae Yoo Ram), who was in the basement, managed to escape.
During her conversation with the Rainbow Taxi boss, Baek Sung Mi believed that Mr. Jang and Do Ki tipped the police about Goo Yeong Tae.
At this time, Do Ki already knew that his colleagues were in danger. At the police station, he insisted Kang Ha Na let her leave the vicinity with a promise of telling her about the syndicate's big boss.
With hopes to save his colleagues, Mr. Jang went to Rainbow Taxi's hideout together with Park Jin Eon, where Chairman Baek's men were waiting for him.
Surprisingly, he single-handedly took down all the gang members as he tried to save Mr. Jang, Choi Kyung Goo, and Go Eun.
