Creasy shows up at Daniel's ex-wife's house and is shot by his brother Aurelio ( Gero Camilo), who then tries unsuccessfully to escape. Using the information provided by Creasy, The Voice's identity is revealed to be Daniel Sánchez, who Mariana exposes in the newspapers. Creasy leaves a 9MM pistol and one misfired round, he saved from his own previously attempted suicide, for Samuel, who commits suicide. He also confesses to killing Kalfus who lied that Pita would be safely returned after the ransom was paid.
