When the prisoner is in the hospital and believes he is free from danger, he reveals the secret code to Kang-moo, which the traitors come to know due to a hidden camera. The prisoner suspects something is amiss and calls Kang-moo to warn him, but is killed. Kang-moo is injured when an army truck rams into his car.
