In the meantime, Cheol-ho visits Yeong-sook (Kim Ji-mee), a blind widow of Jeong-soo. Unable to tell her her husband's death, Cheol-ho tells her that he is Jeong-soo, making her relieved. Feeling sorry for Yeong-sook, Cheol-ho signs a consent to corneal transplant to donate his cornea to her, then sneaks into Dal-gyoo's house for revenge. However, Yeong-sook is kidnapped by Dal-gyoo's subordinates and this gets in the way of his plan.
