Setelah menunggu 2 menit, akhirnya mereka boleh masuk menuju bagian dalam ruang KPK. Bagian dalam ruang KPK itu merupakan tempat lift yang akan mengantar mereka ke ruangan Antasari.

Selain semprotan, Maiyasyak juga menarik kartu identitas pamdal tersebut “Nanti saya copot,” kata Maiyasyak dengan sinis.
