In the morning, Judy is waiting for Victor who said that he would pick her up at her apartment. She seems uneasy, feeling unprepared to become an assistant to the CEO of a big company like Counterbrand.

[Oh, Judy! What time is it?]
“What? You're still asleep?”
[Oh, right! I should have picked you up now. But… Hey! Why don’t you just go to the office yourself. You could just help

And then, she turns his attention back to Victor, and finds Victor giving an expression as if he is affirming what Judy just said to her.“Are you telling me there are still other crimes that you have committed other than that scam?”“No! That’s not it,” replies Victor curtly and tries to ignore her.He just takes a seat there and closes his face with both hands, looking so lifeless to serve Viona for a further debate.“Judy, just tell Jane to cast out those two cops,” he issues.“Okay!” replies Judy.“Hey, wait!” Viona halts her. “Victor, you can’t just do that.

He tried to close it, to hide something that I believe is much more sinister than the ones who killed Diego,” explains Officer Frank.“What the? That’s a serious accusation you have there!
