Dong-Joo confirms that Hui-Cheol left. He returns the house and he visits Eun-Nam. He pulls the girl he loves to his side. He hugs her and he hands over a phone to her. He tells her to wait for his call. Eun-Nam tells her parents the truth that she has confessed to her husband about her and Dong-Joo’s relationship. The two had a fight because Hui-Cheol insulted Dong-Joo.

He thinks her father won’t wish her to get a divorce. But Eun-Nam doesn’t want to compromise. She and Hui-Cheol’s marriage is just a deal to her. She did it for the shares of the group her grandfather promised her. Because she wants to defeat the ambitious stepfather.
Eun-Nam tells her feelings to her mother that she cannot forget Dong-Joo. Dong-Joo is ready for his plan. He sends the last 30 billion won to Jang-Sun. Jang-Sun confirms the money.

But two men get in the car. They take the girl away. Eun-Nam tries to tap on the window and call out to Dong-Joo. But the two miss.
Dong-Joo mistakes that he was given up by Eun-Nam again. He wears the suits and he plays the violin alone at the sea. He plays a song he prepared for Eun-Nam. But he doesn’t know she’s helpless to tear up in the car. Dong-Joo pretends to smile after the performance. He takes out a bracelet. It’s the bracelet which Eun-Nam threw on the floor by mistake. He’s fixed it. He has to talk to himself when he faces the cell phone lens.
Nightfall is approaching. Dong-Joo is sad. But there’s a blinding light casting. A hitman aims at Dong-Joo. Dong-Joo jumps into the sea for saving himself. But he’s shot by the hitman. I’m surprised that the one who wants to kill Dong-Joo is Il-Do.
Il-Do found out that Dong-Joo contacted Sun-Woo. He has to kill Dong-Joo for keeping the position for his son in the group. He meets with Jang-Sun after he killed Dong-Joo. Jang-Sun is happy with Il-Do’s action. He thinks Dong-Joo isn’t useful because the guy gave 30 billion won to him.
He asks his follower to send some money to Il-Do as a reward. But the follower finds out that the password is wrong. Jang-Sun checks his laptop. He finds the program Dong-Joo implant in his laptop. He realizes that his money was taken away by the guy.
