That night he returned to his room (Jokun lived in a basement with a lifting platform because he needed a wheelchair), and suddenly heard a voice talking behind the wall, Jokun, out of curiosity, took out a stethoscope and put it on the wall, listened carefully, and found that someone was talking.
So the engineer used his creativity to make a bugging device and pinhole camera, although simple, but perfectly able to see everything that happens behind the wall in the dark.
Joaquin was intrigued by what was happening behind the wall, and he hoped to study it well, but the presence of Beta's mother and daughter would have a big impact on him, so he offered Beta to let them move out first, give him two weeks, and come back later.
Beta, of course, is reluctant and argues with Joaquin, pointing out that Joqueen likes him, but his lack of self-confidence makes him resist their increasingly intimate relationship.
This poked Joaquin in the heart, and after thinking about it for a night, Jokun dismissed the idea of asking them out and decided to tell Beta everything he had found in the basement.
He asked Beta to help him make a cup of coffee, and then went to the basement to find him, he was going to tell Beta about the strange things he had found, Jokun was watching yesterday's video while waiting, suddenly, he found a familiar figure in the video, as the figure got closer and closer, the picture became clearer and clearer, beautiful face, slender thighs, this person is no one else, is the female tenant of Jokun's family - Beta.
This made Jokun frightened, but also understood something, with these days of observation, Jokun found that the gang behind the wall is trying to dig a tunnel into the bank's vault, steal money from the vault, and Jokun lives next door to the bank, if they want to dig a tunnel, they must not be able to get around Jokun's house, so they sent Beta to pretend to rent Jokun's house, secretly monitor Jokun, and control this only uncontrollable factor in order to steal the money perfectly.
After Jokun understood everything, he hurriedly stopped Beta who wanted to come down to deliver coffee, Beta asked him what was wrong, he found an excuse to prevaricate, Jokun did not intend to call the police or expose, but chose to follow Beta's play, because in his mind, a bold idea was brewed, Jokun also wanted to get a piece of the stolen money, and it was unknowingly to get his hands on it.

First, it's reversible enough.
From Beta being found to be an undercover member of the gang of thieves, to Joaquin's exposure of selfishness, and the final extreme anti-killing of the leader of the thieves, always let the audience hang an uneasy heart, the emotions are completely driven by the plot, sometimes worried, sometimes suddenly enlightened, and then just returned to God for a while, it is once again attracted to the new plot, it is not difficult to see that the director has done enough work in this regard, and the characteristics of the suspense film should be so.
Second, it is deeply intentional.
Although this movie is a crime suspense film, the highlight is mostly in Joaquin's confrontation with the bank robbers, but behind all this, in fact, stems from Jokun's love for Beta, and his desire for family, he wants to take money from it unconsciously, on the one hand, he wants to repay the debt, on the other hand, he wants to prove to Beta that he is not much worse than those two-legged robbers; he gives his daughter's cabin to Betty to live, amusing Betty happy, it is he who gradually accepts Betty's performance, which contains his thoughts for his daughter. The final hand-holding also proves Joaquin's desire for a whole family.
These two points form the core of "The End of the Tunnel" and are its highlights, and fans of suspenseful and brain-burning movies must not miss it, it will not disappoint you.
