In the bath area of his office, Chairman Kang confronts In ha. He tells him he is fired starting tomorrow and from then on, will have nothing to do with the company. He accuses In ha of killing Inju. In ha accepts it saying it’s Chairman Kang fault he’s the way he was because he refused to acknowledge him. He refuses to leave the company and during their banter, Chairman Kang suddenly has a heart attack. He struggles to get his medicine but he’s too late and falls into the bath water struggling to live as he reaches out to In ha but In ha watches with mocking indifference as he tells Chairman Kang that he should have reached out his hands to him earlier. He abandons him there.
Now, Hye won calls Tae Oh to let him know of Chairman Kang’s situation. The entire family gather at the hospital. Hye won meets with them. The doctor tells everyone Chairman Kang’s condition is delicate and that he may not survive. Surprisingly, Mrs Kang looks devastated by the news (of course, she might be pretending)
In ha’s absence is noticeable and Kang inju’s wife asks Hye won of his whereabouts. Hye won calls In ha and he’s surprised to hear that Chairman Kang is still alive and rushes to the hospital. Meanwhile, Tae Oh returns to the office to do a little digging of his own.
While in the restroom, In ha remembers the doctor coming out from an inner room inside the office. He figures out that Chairman Kang must have a secret room there where he must have kept Tae oh. In ha immediately rushes to the office and soon enough discovers the secret room leading his suspicions to be correct.
Meanwhile, Han Tae oh secretly meets the prosecutor who was suspended in his car, shocking him. Han Tae oh tells him of the video inside Kang Inju lover’s phone which recorded the murder. He tells the prosecutor he wants to repay him for causing him trouble by giving him this opportunity to regain his life. He wants the prosecutor to get the camera. However, the prosecutor is reluctant to work with him, even attempting to arrest Tae Oh but Tae Oh tells him to choose wisely. It’s either he remains in the hell hole where he is currently or go back to Seoul and be successful again. He assures the prosecutor he can arrest him if he doesn’t see the video in the phone.
In ha is desperate to find Tae Oh. He calls Wan to pressure him to speed up the search, unaware that Wan already sees the surveillance video where Tae oh is meeting with the prosecutor in his car but he decides not to betray Tae Oh by letting In ah know. He deletes all the evidence just in case. The prosecutor sneaks into the evidence section and gets the phone but when he checks the content, it’s empty. He returns to the car and shows this to Tae Oh. However, Tae Oh opens an app. Interestingly, the images and videos from the murder are all there. Tae Oh was too drugged to move when Mo gujin entered and stabbed Kang Inju and his mistress to death. But when In ha enters, Tae Oh doesn’t watch the video anymore. He tells the prosecutor to cut the video from there while showing it to the chief prosecutor. The prosecutor is surprised that Tae oh wants to cut the video especially when Mo gujin definitely had an ally working with him. He suspects that Tae Oh knows who the person that entered is and is trying to protect that person’s identity by not revealing them.
After the Prosecutor hands over the video to the Chief prosecutor, he immediately reinstates him back and without wasting time, the prosecutor arrests Mo gujin at the company. But before he leaves, he glances at In ha who is watching them from the railing above, no doub suspicious that he’s the one Tae Oh wants to protect. However, In ha seems unruffled even after seeing Mo gujin getting arrested.
Meanwhile, Tae Oh hands himself back to the police. This revelation makes Mrs Kang happy as she and Seungho plan to make sure he doesn’t get out. But if he does, they also plan to get him in their side. However, Attorney Chu offers to become Tae Oh’s lawyer causing Tae Oh to question his intention. But he simply responds that he’s carrying out Chairman Kang’s wishes. It was as if he predicted everything that was going to happen.
Kang inha meets Park sajin to convince him to still work with him. But Park sajin reminds him that everything would all be useless as long as chairman Kang is still alive because he wouldn’t hesitate to kick him out the moment he wakes up.
In ha returns home to see Hye Won’s ring on top of the dresser signifying that she has left him. The prosecutor interrogates Mo sujin trying to figure out who was behind him but Mo sujin takes the blame saying he was physically and mentally abused which resulted in him killing Kang Inju and his lover but the prosecutor doesn’t believe him in the slightest.
Mrs Kang and Seungho decide that if Tae Oh gets released, he would work with them given how smart he is and what he was able to achieve while with Chairman Kang so they try to rally all their supporters at the company to assist Tae Oh to get out of jail.
In prison, Tae Oh and the gang leader are together. Tae Oh offers to have a drink with him before he is released which surprises the leader. But that night, it’s chips they are eating and Tae Oh relays to leader a well kept secret about a paper company in Hong Kong which he created to make In ha the chairman. It was something only he knows about, not even In ha. He tells Leader to gamble with him.
Leader is released and welcomed by his men. Soon, Hye Won meets him and he recognizes her as the daughter of the woman who stole his money. Together with Wan (who shot his italian betrayer in the leg by the way), leader and his men, they control Gold H an investment company Tae Oh secretly set up and buy nearly all the shares in Kangoh.
Meanwhile, with Attorney Chu’s help, Tae Oh is finally cleared of all charges and set free. But when In ah hears of this, he’s less than glad and immediately instructs a staff to monitor everything Tae Oh does.
Tae Oh finally returns to the sanctuary of his apartment. He plays his soothing song from his olf tape recorder and stares at a picture of In ha strapped to his screen with mixed expression. Troubled by what Park sajin said to him, In ha heads to Chairman Kang’s ward. He tries to turn off his oxygen supply, thereby killing him but to his shock, Tae oh appears and stops him.
