Han Seol-ah visited locations listed in Kim Seon-ae's properties held under other names one by one, and at one such place she saw Cha Woo-seok's car and the man Joo Hyun-soo, who had visited Royal Auction. Sensing something ominous, Han Seol-ah barely hid Cha Woo-seok just before he and Joo Hyun-soo were about to meet.
Meeting for the first time since Han Seol-ah's farewell, Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok shared why they had come there and the facts each had been investigating. Noting that Joo Hyun-soo, who killed Cha Woo-seok's younger sibling, was an accomplice of Kim Seon-ae, the two inferred that Kim Seon-ae and Joo Hyun-soo were colluding in an insurance fraud using artworks, and they set out to find the location of Kim Seon-ae's secret vault to secure evidence.
Through his informant Dr. Shin (played by Yoon Jae-chan), Cha Woo-seok obtained the Royal Auction floor plan, and Han Seol-ah discovered a suspicious space within the plan that she was convinced was Kim Seon-ae's vault. The two decided to sneak into the vault while Kim Seon-ae was out and confirm the presence of the artworks.
With Cha Woo-seok's help, Han Seol-ah secretly entered the vault and found paintings that had been reported destroyed in a fire, as well as her father's final work depicting their family. Seeing the precious painting that Kim Seon-ae had cruelly taken from Han Seol-ah's father long ago in an unexpected place, Han Seol-ah was overwhelmed with indescribable emotion.
At the same time, Kim Seon-ae returned to Royal Auction after receiving a message that the vault's lock had been opened. Dr. Shin, who had checked Kim Seon-ae's movements, warned that it was an emergency, but Han Seol-ah inside the signal-blocked vault could not see the message. Cha Woo-seok rushed to rescue Han Seol-ah, but Kim Seon-ae stood in front of the vault one step ahead of him, heightening the tension.
As the wailing siren sounded and Han Seol-ah, trapped inside the vault, grew restless, someone opened the vault door's passcode and entered, plunging her into crisis. If Han Seol-ah is discovered by Kim Seon-ae, the plan to expose the connection between Kim Seon-ae and Joo Hyun-soo could fail, drawing attention to Han Seol-ah's precarious future.
A third person who conspired with Kim Seon-ae and Joo Hyun-soo in the insurance fraud also appears, deepening curiosity about that person's identity. As the scale of the crime grows, curiosity intensifies over whether Han Seol-ah and Cha Woo-seok will be able to reveal the true extent of the wrongdoing of Kim Seon-ae, Joo Hyun-soo and their gang surrounding the artworks.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that Baek Joon-beom (played by Kim Junghyun) had taken out an insurance policy naming Han Seol-ah as the beneficiary before he died, suggesting that the string of tragedies was not over. Under Baek Joon-beom's will, Han Seol-ah inherited paintings worth several hundred million won or more. Upon learning this, the police suspect Han Seol-ah as a suspect in an insurance murder, making the outcome of the tragedy surrounding Han Seol-ah noteworthy.
The fate of Park Minyoung, trapped in the locked room, will be revealed on the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Siren,' which airs its 11th episode on the 6th (Monday) at 8:50 p.m.
