The Lonely Path episode 36 final episode: Unfinished ending, expected to have part 2
Doc Dao has ended its journey on VTV and left viewers with many emotions. It was revealed that the project will have a part 2.
At the beginning of episode 36, which is also the last episode of Doc Dao, Long called someone to defuse the bomb in Hong's car. The bomb in the trunk was removed first, but the process was extremely difficult because the bomb was installed very complicatedly.

The old man informed Mr. Chuong that the goods would arrive at their destination by this time tomorrow. He prepared to leave, but first he had to make sure everything was running smoothly. Then he called Mr. Cu again.

When time was almost up, and also when Mr. Cu was about to arrive at the meeting place, Hong urged Long and the bomb disposal man to quickly get out of the car. Hong said: "It's enough if one person dies, don't die together." However, Long did not give up, still determined to help.
At the same time, Mr. Cu saw a person coming on a motorbike and realized that the situation was not good. He quickly shouted: "Retreat!" but at that moment, the police arrived and arrested everyone. The police asked Mr. Cu to immediately call old Quan to ask for the bomb defuse code.

Hong headed straight to a large cave, where the old man was hiding. Both Long, the bomb defuser, and Hong received the bomb defusing code 9002 in the last 30 seconds. Hong closed her eyes, preparing to accept death as the bomb wrapped around her. However, luckily, the bomb was deactivated right before the old man pressed the activation button.
At this moment, the police mobilized combat vehicles. Realizing the dangerous situation, old Quan quickly escaped from the cave.

Knowing that the bomb had been defused, Hong removed the bomb from his body and ran to find his younger brother. When he met Khuong, before Hong could say anything, Khuong pushed him away. Hong closed her eyes, ready for Khuong to attack, but Khuong could not do it. He declared: "From now on, we are no longer brothers." Khuong threw the knife on the ground and left.

Hong took the knife and ran to find old Quan. In Quan's room, Hong discovered a secret exit, and he immediately followed it. When Quan stopped to call his juniors "Pick me up", Hong caught up in time. Quan immediately drew his sword and while attacking, he persuaded Hong: "Think again, we can make a deal, negotiate."
While Hong and Quan were fighting, Tien, a sniper from afar, shot Hong in the shoulder. Knowing that he was about to die at the hands of old Quan, Hong asked one last question: "Why did you kill my father?" Old Quan frankly replied: "Le Toan only ordered me to teach your father a few lessons, but I not only killed your father but also killed a few more people. I had to do that so that I could be free and escape from Le Toan. I was tired of being under his command."

The old man admitted: "I killed your father, and it should have been you and your brother too."
At that moment, Quan raised his sword, intending to attack Hong: "I'll take you back to your two fathers." But Long managed to shoot Quan first.

Meanwhile, Tien was aiming at Long when K3 and his teammates stopped him in time.
Long declared: "The game is over!"

Before the final battle, Phung proactively admitted to Long about the amount of diamonds that the old man had bribed him with. He said:
"If you were sent from the province to investigate who was backing the old man, you could handcuff me right now."
However, Long wanted to hear the whole story from his old classmate Phung.

Phung began to tell: It all started when Tram, his wife, fell ill. At that time, he was forced to sell the house to get money for her treatment. Someone asked to buy the house, and that person turned out to be Quan's old man. His wife's surgery was successful but she needed money to continue her treatment. Phung put the house up for sale again, but this time no one dared to buy. It was at that moment that he realized he had fallen under their control.
Since then, he has fallen into mistakes. Phung bitterly said that he joined the police force with the ideal of protecting the peace of life and people. But now, he betrayed that ideal. Later, even if he wanted to leave, he could not.
Since Phung confessed everything, Long suggested to the leaders to use him for the next step of the investigation. Long felt regretful because Phung was a good and promising police officer.

At the agency headquarters, Phung pledged to declare all his actions, without hiding anything. When the case was solved, he sadly confided:
"My wife just recovered, and yet..."
Phung felt guilty towards his wife. Long encouraged and promised:
"My teammates and I will take care of your wife and children together."
In all this, Phung was wrong, but he was also right. The right things will be recognized, and the wrong things will be punished by law. Phung understood that very well, but the thing he regretted the most was:
"It's just that I lost my honor."
As a cadre who used to be competent and proud of his profession, he felt disappointed with himself. Long nodded and replied:
"Yes, honor is the most sacred thing!"
Hong returned home, and immediately, Tuyet expressed anger that Khuong had to "go" for several years. She said:
"Why don't you go and let Mr. Khuong go?"

Tuyet thought that in the case of Duong Co Bo being pushed off the cliff, Khuong had taken all the blame. She blamed Hong, thinking that he had rushed into hatred and deceived his family. Tuyet continued to blame Hong a lot, but he did not say a word.
After the case, Hong returned home, but both Tuyet and Mrs. Moc blamed him. Both of them received a clip from Quan Gia, recording the moment Hong and Mr. Le Toan talked to each other, especially the moment Mr. Toan had difficulty breathing but Hong did not immediately get him an inhaler.
Mrs. Moc spoke up:
"I can't believe it's true."
Her words left Hong unable to explain. She continued:
"No one would blame you. You are the son of the person who was killed years ago. You are already very generous in what you do."
Although the words did not sound resentful, they made both Mrs. Moc and Hong feel heartbroken.

Hong went upstairs to see Mrs. Moc. She addressed Hong as "you and I" and thanked him, but her voice was full of resentment:
"My family thanks you."
She continued to blame:
"He trusted you and gave this whole family to you. I consider you as my son. I trust you, this family trusts you, and yet..."
Both Mrs. Moc and Hong were in tears. Hong really had a hard time explaining anything at this moment, he knelt down and said to Mrs. Moc:
"Goodbye, u."

Then, Hong quietly left, leaving Mrs. Moc in pain and heartache.
Mrs. Moc and Tuyet visited Khuong. She informed Khuong that after investigation, Muscle Yang did not die after being pushed off the cliff by Khuong, but Khuong still had to take responsibility for what he had done.
Tuyet then announced to Khuong that she was pregnant, and that Khuong was going to be a father. Khuong, who was an emotional person, could not hold back his emotions and burst into tears.

Mrs. Moc gave Khuong the box that Mr. Trinh had told him to give to Khuong himself. Inside the box was a broken pipe and a note from Hong:
"You deserve to be my son, you know!"
Khuong was in excruciating pain. He tried to swallow his tears but couldn't.

One of the most touching and tearful scenes in episode 36, which is also the last episode of Doc Dao, is the scene where Hong writes a letter to Thanh, his younger brother, to tell him everything. While writing the letter, Hong could not hold back her tears. He told her the story of the two brothers getting separated when Thanh was very young, and memories of his childhood suddenly came flooding back, making Thanh unable to stop crying.

In the letter, Hong wrote that he was extremely happy to finally find his brother, because for many years, he had sworn to his father that he would find his brother. He wrote:
"Seeing you live an honest life, without fear, without hiding, without having to deal with things - a life I had never experienced. At that time, I thought I should not disturb this peace of yours, even in the name of pain, love or blood."
Hong admitted that since deciding to seek the truth, he has let hatred and revenge dominate his life. He knows that to get revenge, he must be willing to pay the price, no matter how high that price is.
At the end of the letter, Hong hopes that whether the two brothers meet again or not, Thanh will still live a leisurely life, living fully with the sadness, joy, and happiness of a free and kind person. He writes:
"Live your part too."
And that was the emotional end of the letter.

After all, Hong returned to the countryside to meet Diem. However, he was suddenly attacked by Tan "khec" and stabbed, causing Hong to collapse right at Diem's gate. In the critical moment, Hong wondered if he had accepted the pain, let go of hatred and believed that God had eyes, then perhaps his life would have been different. He wished for his own happiness, for the day his brothers could reunite, but instead of choosing the path of living under the sun, he chose to go the lonely path. Hong thought:

"People like me, can lie down at any time."
Hong continued to think:
"My biggest regret is still the pain of losing my freedom and kindness. Forever alone in the darkness."
And then, Hong collapsed in Diem's arms.
Fortunately, Hong was given timely emergency care, overcame the crisis and saved her life. After stabbing Hong, Tan "khec" was sentenced to 36 months in prison. In addition, he also had to pay hospital fees and compensate Le Vu Hong.
