Episode 14 began with the backstory of the formation of the 'Samhungdo Villains'. Kim Sung-kyu, a former special prosecutor, approached former fraudster Seo Hwang (Lee Kyung-young), habitual corrupt police officer Kim Kyung-jang (Ji Dae-han), illegal gambling site programmer Ms. Yeo (Lee Chae-won), and mercenary Choi (Yoo Ji-wang), who had a history of contract killing and illegal possession of firearms. He recruited them for his crime consulting business by offering to dismiss their charges.

Do Ki (Lee Je-hoon) launched a full-scale operation to uproot the core of the 'Samhungdo Villains'. The 'Rainbow Dark Heroes' decided to locate and destroy a dedicated server connected to global crime syndicates, believed to be located in Samhungsa. However, as they lacked Ko Eun's computer to bypass the server's security, an operation was initiated to buy time until Park Joo-im could bring a computer.

To divert the villains' attention, the 'Rainbow Dark Heroes' began acting. Do Ki, Jang (Kim Eui-sung), Ko Eun (Pyo Ye-jin), and Choi Joo-im (Jang Hyuk-jin) calmed the villains by falsely claiming that Park Joo-im had gone to the mainland to collect seed money, while secretly contacting each villain to request fake contract killings and create chaos.

However, the 'Samhungdo Villains' were not to be underestimated. They planned to erase all criminal evidence while pretending to accept the contract killing requests and prepare to leave Samhungdo. Do Ki noticed this and, along with Jang, Choi Joo-im, and Park Joo-im, carried out a 'man-to-man time-wasting operation', which allowed Ko Eun to buy time to locate the dedicated server.

Towards the end of the episode, Kim Sung-kyu realized the 'Rainbow Dark Heroes' were deliberately stalling for time and urgently sought the server room in the basement of Samhungsa. However, Ko Eun had already destroyed the server. Enraged, Kim sounded an emergency alarm across the island and initiated combat, while the 'Samhungdo Villains' became desperate to capture the 'Rainbow Dark Heroes'.

Do Ki engaged in a life-threatening car chase with the 'Samhungdo Villains'. He pressed the accelerator to evade the armed villains, but there was no escape route on the island. Eventually, cornered at the breakwater, Do Ki found himself in danger of falling into the sea due to a collision with the villains' vehicles. At that moment, he recalled the high-power discharge function that Park Joo-im had installed in the taxi, and concentrated all the energy into the villains' vehicles. The villains' cars exploded, and Do Ki narrowly saved his life.

As Kim attempted to flee, he shouted, "You think you've won? As long as I'm here, I can rebuild anytime," but Do Ki detonated the boat's motor, leading to his demise. This episode delivered an exhilarating catharsis to viewers with its unprecedented chase and psychological warfare.

The following preview heightened curiosity for the final episode by revealing the news of Do Ki's disappearance and a glimpse of him transformed into 'Soldier Do Ki'. 'Taxi Driver 3' continues to maintain its tension and thrills, raising viewers' anticipation.
