Dong Ju drops a bombshell during a TV show, bringing to light all the concealed facts related to Lee Tae-man and others, including his own undisclosed matters. This disclosure causes a shift in the investigation, prompting individuals previously deemed unlikely to cooperate to come forward voluntarily for interrogation by the police. Meanwhile, an individual approaches Kang San with the demeanor of a guilty party, earnestly seeking forgiveness.

Kang San is regretful for losing control and causing harm to Dong-ju. Dong-ju reassures him that he's fine, but he expresses concern about his recent instability. Meanwhile, the police are on the verge of apprehending Lee Tae-man and Choi Jong-nam, but their window of opportunity is closing rapidly. Byung-man pays a visit to Chang-geun, expressing remorse for not giving more attention to the young individual who sought his help 27 years ago.
