Officer Dickerson is truly desperate. He feels that his career will definitely be ruined because of this case.

The reporters keep hunting him to make any clarification regarding the accusation that Georgina has made. But he always runs away from them.

He keeps wasting his time in a bar, trying his best to forget his problem by drinking. And somehow, he gets trouble with someone in the bar, and again, he gets helped by his colleagues to get away from any punishment.

However, he later finds some hope after receiving a little information from his subordinates regarding the identities of the five kidnappers.

“Zack Butler, Ewin Walsh, Byron Mors, Robert Prince, and the last one, George Bradley.”

“George Bradley?” Officer Dickerson mumbles full of curiosity, trying his best to dig his own memory. He feels familiar, since Detective Barnes has mentioned that name to him recently.

“You remember that old Karen, Georgina Vega, the one who openly attacked you in public?”

“What about her?” a

    Both Georgina and the lawyer are startled by Giana’s sudden intrusion. And Giana, she just walks into the room from the balcony, with eyes are still red by the tears that haven’t completely stopped since she got out of Sofia’s room. “It’s clear you met with that fucking useless husband of yours in the mall, just a week before he kidnapped Elly! Why, Mom? Why? Why are you hiding that now? Just admit it already, you were with him in this kidnapping! Do you have any idea what has happened to Elly?” Giana slowly finds it hard to stay standing on her feet, and the rage starts turning into a lifeless cry. “He killed her! He killed my little Elly.” The lawyer just stares at Georgina with her unenthusiastic face. Georgina can’t even hide her discomfort and begins to show her restlessness while forcing her brain to come up with another lie to cover that story. “No, this has nothing to do with that kidnapping. I did meet with him, but…” “But why did you cover it?” the lawyer cuts her word

Both Boris and Elliot, Sofia’s personal driver, even abandon their chess game. But not for too long until Boris moves his pawn, and then draws Elliot’s attention back to the board. “Hey, your turn!” Boris flicks the table twice. Elliot nonchalantly takes his attention away from Georgina. He doesn't care where she is going to go, because it’s not his job to serve her. It’s different with Niko, the young driver. He immediately approaches Georgina in a rush, and then greets her by bowing his head a bit. “Are you going to leave for a vacation, Mam? Leaving the country?” asks the young man with an awkward smile. His awkwardness is mixed with fear of getting scolded by Geor

    Georgina takes a few steps forward, and starts pointing fingers at Boris while putting all the blame on him for what has happened to Elly.“Listen to me, you stupid Russian bear! Don’t think you can act arrogant in front of me just because of the issue I’m facing right now. Remember, Elly was kidnapped because of your negligence in protecting her.”“Whose fault was it that I was stuck at the mall?” replies Boris rhetorically. “Don’t forget, it was your husband who kidnapped her. And I know you were involved in this. I believe you were deliberately holding me down that day at the mall, so that your husband could kidnap Elly without my interference.”“Bullshit! That’s bogus! You can’t simply put this accusation without…”“Just make your own clarification to those journalists out there. I&r

    Giana is petrified in fear. It’s only Boris alone who is quite able to act fast, immediately tilting Sofia's body position so that she wouldn't choke on the vomit that is coming out of her stomach. Boris also notices some pills scattered on the table near Sofia’s bed. After checking the bottle, he notices the name benzodiazepine. It’s just sleeping pills, but still, they are not something that can be taken lightly. “What happened to her? Is it a reflux?” asks Giana as she approaches Boris. “Just call an ambulance!” issues Boris as he keeps holding Sofia’s body. “This is not reflux. I’m afraid this is an overdose.” “Overdose? How?” asks Giana as she waits for her phone to be answered. “She never uses drugs. Boris doesn’t give Giana any response anymore. He is busy trying to provoke Sofia to speak. It’s his only option to make her stay conscious to fight the symptoms. Luckily the foam is not too much, making Boris a bit relieved as he was afraid that Sofia’s lung could have already

    That paper is a note Sofia deliberately left specifically for Alex, as an expression of her regret and guilt for what she has done to him. She believes everything that has happened is her karma.She was really so desperate, and couldn't see the possibility that Elly was still alive. More than that, she even took all the blame on herself which led her to write that suicide note.“I don't mind if you still blame me for everything. But to lose Elly, I just couldn’t bear it anymore. I'm going to meet her.”After reading that last one, Alex rubs his head a few times in a frustrated face, realizing the stupid decision that Sofia has made.But he can’t deny the fact that he plays a significant role in leading Sofia to take that decision.

And I think he is my only option to stay alive right now. I need his protection,” he explains.“What? You plan to seek his protection?

He needs me just as I need him. I was there, and I know who killed your dad and took that girl.”“Hold on! What did you say?”“Yeah, the kid is still alive.

He simply shakes his head, and intends to make his business with Sofia as short as possible. “Sorry! I come here only to borrow your money! I have to travel to Jakarta tomorrow. Maybe I can get a clue about Elly's whereabouts there. If not, I will continue my search to Singapore, and maybe Thailand too,” explains Alex. Sofia is silent for a moment. She gets an impression that Alex is only looking for their daughter without any clues, and simply going to places in desperation. “Do you really believe she might be in these countries?” she asks unsurely. “Is she really still alive?” Alex takes a deep breath. “Do you think I do this out of my ignorance?

You became one of the Overseers replacing Morgan Davis?”But Alex just puts on a flat face. He continues to walk away while looking at Benet coldly without saying anything.“Hey, Alex!” Benet calls him.“Shut up!

I don’t mind with me being the only true leader, but let the others know that I’m just one of the Overseers.” “So, you want to keep this secrecy just like what Morgan did this whole time?” Alex nods lightly. “Everyone?” Freedie Berker asks the other Overseers.

However, she lowers the car window while giving a sign to the driver not to leave yet.“You should know, just being vice president won't allow me to do much,” Rusli explains his situation.“That's why, don't be satisfied with just aiming to become vice president. You have a brother in parliament, a nephew at the police headquarters, and your electability is quite high. Aim for the number one,” Saniyah provokes him.“It's useless to have high electability if there is no support from the coalition for me as a presidential candidate,” argues Rusli.“Then, just ignore that coalition. Hasn’t your party passed the presidential threshold for this?” Saniyah replies rhetorically.“Don't be naive. That will only make me lose support,” Rusli retorts.Saniyah slowly turns her face to Rusli by raising one of her eyebrows. “I know, in this country there is a secret organization that operates behind the scenes, who

She only shows her gloomy face.“Don’t tell me…”As if knowing what’s inside her mother’s mind, Lisa just nods lifelessly.

But he finds it hard to vent his anger toward him, despite how mad his face currently is.“She is my disciple, but she has nothing to do with your grudge.

The two of Morgan’s bodyguards look so ready to fight Alex, but Morgan immediately spreads his arms to halt them. The same with Boris, immediately holds both of Alex’s arms from behind.“Fuck!
