Lee Ho-Cheol notices that the man holding the bloody knife is Kwon Shi-Woo (Lee Won-Geun), who lives next door to him. Lee Ho-Cheol receives another text message that states “Kill Kwon Shi-Woo within 24 hours. If you don’t, you will not see your daughter again.” Lee Ho-Cheol discovers that his daughter is now missing.
