Normally, it will take effect around 3 - 4 hours for the lethal symptom to occur after someone consumes Ricin by inhalation. But due to the large amount of the powder Nico takes directly to his nose, he feels so much pain in the inside part of his nostrils.He curses while rubbing his nose, blaming it for a bad heroin. It only makes him even more angry at Jay who has already died, thinking that white powder is the heroin Chappy bought from Jay in the past.“What kind of shit you were selling to him? Of course, he no longer uses drugs anymore. There’s no way this kind of garbage would make people addicted!”He then takes a seat, and pauses that porn video which has been such a nuisance to him.“Takes him out of here!” he issues.And so, Camilo calls two of his men from outside the office to enter. They then take Jay’s dead body out.It attracts Willie and Victor’s attention, as they see Nico’s men bringing a dead body to a car. Willie rushes to them, thinking it is Chappy. But then he
Victor pulls Elijah’s face closer. “Then, what about the ones who burnt my house? I already knew they were part of your people. Now I know for sure, it has something to do with you.”“Why would you think so? I have nothing to do with you from the very first place. I’m just a lawyer,” denies Elijah with an unsure tone.“What about Emma?” asks Victor. “I know you hate her for what she has done to you after that marital settlement dispute.”“No! It’s not me. It’s Lucas! It’s the work of Lucas Atkinson. I’m telling you, I don’t have anything to do with this.”Victor pushes him so hard to the wall and then pins him by holding his neck. “I know it must be him. But you make me curious, how did you know it was Lucas if you never took part in all of this scheme?”“No, please!” Elijah pleads by raising both hands. “I know only because I’m also his lawyer!”Victor brings his face closer, and stares down at his eyes with so much suspicion. After all, he knows so well a lawyer like him is always g
The number of those organic solvent bottles can reach 500 bottles. If all of those bottles contain the same amount of heroin as the one bottle that Victor has examined earlier, he estimates the number can reach 1000 Kg. It’s reasonable if Elijah is looking so reluctant to leave. It’s worth $20 million. It’s not just a trivial number he can ignore. “Just let it go!” says Victor. “You might be able to clear your name from this garbage business. You still have a bright future with your career as a lawyer.” “Cih!” Elijah doesn’t even hide his sour face as he takes his leave. In less than half an hour of waiting, Frank and Morgan finally appear. And the very first thing that catches their attention is the condition of Chappy’s face. “What’s wrong with him? I’ve known he has been working for you as a driver,” says Officer Frank as he approaches Victor and the others. But then, his attention immediately averted to the plastic bag that Victor holds. And Victor just throws that plastic ba
Some people might find some relief for being able to restrain themselves from doing something bad. But not with the current Victor. Chappy is now getting a high fever because of the torture he had received. Despite the fact he has already gotten some treatment from Dr. Chris Lamar, he is still often found tormented during his sleep. It's not rare Victor finds him cursing Nico Curbelo, mumbling something about how he is going to pay him back. “Turn it off! Turn it off!” “Kill you! I’m gonna kill you! Turn it off!” It only makes Victor even more angry because of it. He knows that Chappy is tormented because of his rage to witness what happened to Judy through that video. Now he regrets letting Nico Curbelo leave. I should have punished him. I should have taught him some pain. I should have let him know despair. That’s the thing that keeps coming to his mind, for what he should do to Nico Curbelo. So little does he know that Nico himself has already met his demise in the most painf
Victor tries to ignore his curiosity, and gets changed. But then, Viona calls him again. However, when he picks up the phone, it turns out to be Mira who calls him using Viona’s phone.At the moment, Viona herself is sleeping on the bed with a warm towel on her forehead. It seems like she has a fever.Mira turns away from Viona for a moment before talking to Victor in a restrained voice.“No, it was me who called you before.”[Um, what is it? Why would you call me using her phone? Did something happen to her?]“She got a high fever before. It must be because she was out in the rain last night. But it’s okay, she is getting better now. It’s just that, I found her delirious in her sleep. She called your name a few times, like she was worrying about something.”[Well, you know her. She was always worried about everything since we were kids]“To be honest, we are all worried about you. Especially with that serial killer. Last night, Viona came home with so much annoyance. She whined to me
The coming of Atkinson so early in the morning is not the only thing that makes Victor puzzled. That old man even asks Victor a chance to talk in private, which leads Victor to tell Judy to leave the office for a while.From this point, Victor begins to realize Atkinson isn’t intending to talk about business with him.“So, you have received a message from Viona?” Victor asks with a bit of a smile.But somehow, his question makes Atkinson a bit puzzled now. “What message?” he asks with so much curiosity.He then gets a phone call from Viona. But knowing that Atkinson is already in Victor’s office, Viona cancels her intention to share the information regarding that serial killer to him, and tells him to just ask Victor directly.Coincidently, Atkinson himself visits Victor also to confirm about that issue too. He only learned it by himself last night from the news. And somehow, he feels like he needs to talk about it with Victor.“So, you already know that I’m Charles’ son?” asks Victor
That old man keeps mumbling with shaking lips, as he keeps trying to call his beloved adopted son. Dorothy also finds it hard to go to sleep when her son is not at home. “How is it?” she asks. “He isn’t picking up the phone,” replies Atkinson. At the moment, Lucas himself has reached Indianapolis and is heading back home now. For some reason, he looks so reluctant to pick up the phone call from Atkinson. It’s like he already knows what kind of sermons he is going to get from that old man. However, when Carter Phillips calls him, only then is he willing to pick up the phone. But Carter Phillips doesn’t call him for something good. [We have an issue here] “What happened?” [Another man down! It’s Cayson] “Is he dead? [Not yet. But we can’t let him stay here for too long] “Shiiit!” He turns around, and cancels his intention to go back home. He has no other choice but to visit his pharmacy factory. He makes another call, asking the transporters back to work to dispose of that de
That’s when Lucas begins to think about that worst scenario. He starts to see the possibilities that he might have been conned this whole time. Several people have died so far. What if the issue about the incoming pandemic was just a lie, and he had only been scammed to buy that virus specimen from those two Asian guys. His face looks so pale to think about how fuck up his situation would be if what Mr. Carter said was right. And that sudden change of his facial expression only makes Carter realize that Lucas might have never given any thought about that possibility this far. “Our society has adapted quite well from our past experience with Covid-19. Doing the same thing to force people to buy vaccines is a risky game for them. Have you given any thought about that?” Mr. Carter emphasizes with his low and deep hoarse voice. “But the possibility is still there,” Lucas argues. “What if they leak the virus and start the pandemic?” “There could never be another pandemic! They’ve schem
“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte
So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor
On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n
Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th
After all, he has made an agreement with Frank for this one, and he doesn’t want to screw Frank’s scenario in attacking Adam. Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told
The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun
Even Frank isn’t getting a peaceful night either. There are so many things that don't click with his beautiful mind. He has learned quite far about the background behind that serial murder case. He knows that Victor has something to do with this, and has already had a theory that this led to the death of Atkinson. “So, Adam got Victor and this Johann guy at the same time. Does that mean all your theories are true?” asks Morgan. Frank doesn’t answer him. He just sits there with a flat face, while busy rubbing his ring finger which no longer has any ring on it. His mind keeps working on the narration to conclude all the theory and deduction that he has made so far. “But this man, Cooper! He said he came to Lucas to warn him about this serial killer,” he says. “But Lucas said that it was Cooper who tried to kill him in the toilet,” argues David. “That’s the problem,” Frank refutes. “We have an eyewitness that this man, Cooper, had a fight with someone wearing Arabian outfits in the
He hits Victor again, while he is still pinned down on the ground. That hit only looks like a joking tap, as if he is agitating Victor to release his rage. And indeed, it’s effective to make Victor even more infuriated and mad. But then, just as Victor raises his left hand intending to continue his assault, someone just shoots him with a gun. Fortunately, it only hit his left shoulder from behind. But because of this shot, he is no longer in a mount position pinning Johann down. Weirdly, that shot only makes Johann infuriated. He gets up, and shows how annoyed he is with the one man who just shot Victor. “Yoou!!!” He grumbles with a low voice, before shouting out his anger. “You’ve screwed everything! That’s his moment, how dare you screw it!!!” Still within his madness, Johann recklessly rushes toward that man who is still holding his gun. And then… “Bang! Bang!!” Two shots in the chest put Johann down. That man approaches Victor who is now trying to get back up by holding his
Weirdly, for whatever reason, Johann didn’t kill Lucas. Cooper finds Lucas still breathing albeit no longer conscious. He immediately takes out a phone, and informs Victor and Vincenzo about that situation. However, as he just intends to leave that restroom, one security guard and two cops appear. Yes, there are already several cops around this building, because Lucas had shared to the police about the possibility of Victor would attack him. There are also Officer Frank and a few of his team among them in the outside. As those two cops notice Lucas’s condition in the restroom, they immediately put Cooper down on the floor. They then cuff Cooper’s hand behind his back. Of course, Cooper tries to break free, looking so impatient to not let his target away. “You stupid! You got the wrong person. He is out there, a man with an Arabian outfit!” “Silence! Whatever you want to say, you can explain it later in the office. You have the right to call an attorney. If you are unable to do so,
