At the hospital, the detectives engage in a heartfelt reunion with Jung-hyun, their conversation revolving around the uncertainty of Se-hyun's confession. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, they ponder whether she could still be an accomplice to Jo-kyun's crimes. Jung-hyun, however, seems to have an unwavering faith in her innocence. Meanwhile, Se-eun ponders over the watch bestowed upon her by Se-hyun, attempting to recharge it, perhaps seeking a spark of hope within its digital confines.

Se-hyun pays Jung-hyun a visit, her notebook in hand. She reminisces fondly about her days of bliss with Eun-seo, painting a vivid picture of their escapades and ultimately, her heart-wrenching revelation of Eun-seo's demise, though she skirts around the gritty details. She recounts how she collapsed and was miraculously discovered by mountain climbers, who then led her to the safety of an orphanage. Jung-hyun, moved by her story, urges her not to face her demise alone, pleading for her to allow him to share her burden.

Jo-kyun, disguised in a doctor's coat, sneaks into the hospital, his eyes set on Se-hyun. As she exits Jung-hyun's room, Jo-kyun intercepts her, offering her a final chance to flee with him. His threats hang in the air - Se-eun's life and that of her mother's hang in the balance. On the brink of surrendering to his grasp, a security guard's unexpected appearance forces Jo-kyun to retreat. A reporter, recognizing him from afar, decides to tail him, hoping to uncover more.

Back at the police station, Jin-woo informs his colleagues of Se-hyun's successful lie detector test and her alibi for the initial two murders, adding a layer of complexity to the case. The detectives strategize, pinpointing Jo-kyun's likely escape route via a ship at Yeongpo.

The reporter trails Jo-kyun but eventually loses him amidst the labyrinthine streets. As fate would have it, he spots Se-eun returning from a grocery run and decides to follow her back to their hideout. Tragedy strikes as Jo-kyun ambushes him, silence falling heavy over the scene as the reporter's life is extinguished.

In a poignant flashback, Eun-seo and Se-eun are depicted dashing through the dense forest, their figures weaving between towering trees. Suddenly, Se-eun halts in her tracks, her momentum arrested by an unseen force. Moments later, Jo-kyun catches up to them, his presence like a storm breaking through the tranquility. With a sudden, forceful push, he sends Eun-seo tumbling, her body slamming into the unforgiving ground, her head striking a jagged rock with a sickening thud.
