Ko Mi-ho (Lim Yoon-ah), who was looking for the unpublished papers outside the prison, also found another suspicion hidden in Gucheon Hospital. Upon learning that patients in the cancer ward on the 7th floor were not only unable to receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but also autopsy and burial as well, Ko Mi-ho boldly collected blood from the body to find out the connection between the unpublished paper and the cancer ward on the 7th floor.

On the other hand, Park Chang-ho set up his own trap to catch the real Big Mouse who has driven his life into the gutter. While everyone’s attention was focused on who would be caught in the trap, Jerry (Kwak Dong-yeon) appeared in the camera installed by Park Chang-ho, surprising everyone. However, Park Chang-ho’s reasoning went back to square one when the video was revealed to have been manipulated by someone.

On top of that, Park Chang-ho could not hide his shock as someone believed to be Big Mouse sent Ko Mi-ho an eerie gift. Only Park Chang-ho, Ko Mi-ho, his father-in-law Ko Ki-kwang (Lee Ki-young), and his friend Kim Soon-tae (Oh Si-sik) knew about the camera. No matter how hard he struggled, Park Chang-ho could not hide his bitterness because he felt like he was going according to Big Mouse’s plan.
