Jerry, while tailing Yoon Gab earlier, gets caught by his men and is stuffed inside the trunk of the car outside the killer area. He eventually escapes the trunk and witnesses Yoon Gab shoot Chang Ho in the chest. He immediately calls Mi Ho about the devastating news. Assuming Chang Ho is dead, Mayor Choi gets in a car with a hysterical Mi Ho following him accusing him of killing her husband. He laughs and drives off to the killing site.

He does not realize that his secretary is secretly replaced by Mayor Choi. After overhearing what the chairman confessed, Mayor Choi tells him that it is too late for forgiveness and kills the chairman via the saline pouch attached to his wheelchair giving the chairman a heart attack. Mayor Choi and the chairman's secretary then take the chairman inside the house to pay the secretary for his betrayal.
