What do I have to do?
The Cult Leader Murder Case
This...
The key should be somewhere, right?
Was it there?
Acquired the key
I looked there.
Yeah, I knew it.
Quick, my handcuffs.
Why won't it ope-
- What is this? / - It's just a...
A secret laboratory.
It's just a...
A secret laboratory.
A secret laboratory?
I knew it.
Hidden in the Governor's clinic
Another area for Doctor Jang
What happened in this room?
Doctor Jang
I knew it.
Yes.
People were tied here, so they couldn't move.
I got goosebumps.
Chills
What is this?
The thing is...
What is this?
- What? / - Ah, well, t-that...
Look at this. I told you, the experiments.
"Eye extraction"!
That's from a human?
You damn...
- Right! / - What is it?
- What's the problem? / - You startled me.
They're all from March and August.
- The ascension! / - I told you! The New Village!
Faithful Key!
- Faithful Key's wife. / - I almost got killed, you damn...
Your wife!
What happened to my wife?!
No, no! I really don't know anything.
What happened to his wife?
The people who ascend. Is that what happens to them?
Admit it now.
Admit it quickly.
(No way, my wife?)
I knew it.
You're right.
What? Really?
Wait. If I can say one more thing...
What now?
Five days ago, I got beat up.
What?
On the day I was beaten up by a thief,
by the altar...
I actually found the ring Faithful is wearing now.
Yes. This one.
It's not a necessity, tell us about it.
Faithful Key Wife Kim
His wife's ring
Actually, after the ascension ritual...
They ascend to heaven?
They're all...
brought to this laboratory.
I knew it.
Honey...
Are you human?
Detective, let's kill him first.
Death penalty for you...
Look at this.
Over here, there's an inventory.
It's all either March or August.
There was a pandemic in March 1945. It says there was a problem.
There was a problem because of the pandemic.
1945, March 30th: Sunsun epidemic started
Problem Occurred
Does it mean he lost material due to the pandemic?
Yes. Actually, I tested JV-45
on those who came here in March.
When the experiment was done, I had the vaccine too.
But... ah...
the virus... started to spread from their bodies.
That's why it failed.
Come here.
You're not even talented.
- No! I... / - Let's kill him.
We should brand him, too! As someone who deserves to die.
A good year for brands...
Deserves to die
I do deserve to die,
but I'll die after we catch the culprit.
What are you talking about? You're the culprit.
No, I'm not.
At this point, you should just confess and die.
Doctor Jang's death penalty ending
That wouldn't be right.
You did your experiments on living people?
Look at what he does with the bones.
What is this?
Traces of live experiments around
I've got goosebumps. How horrible.
- What is this? / - What?
"Ascension directory."
An ascension directory
Kim Gamu, Kim Eumju, Choi Makchum,
Faithful Key, Doctor Jang.
Faithful Key?
Exploding
I'm on there, too!
Then you were worried you'd be killed! Right?
He murdered him, because he was scared of getting killed.
But he isn't a Godking of Dance though?
Last night, Kim Nakha brought this in and I saw it.
I realised they were planning on doing something to me.
Let me be honest with you.
I was...
going to kill him.
- I was going to. / - See, he admitted it.
Disgusted by the obvious excuse
I even planned how I was going to kill him.
What was your plan?
Claviceps?
No, those things like Claviceps...
I genuinely only study with that.
To kill him...
I hid a weapon.
- At the altar? / - Yes, that's right.
- What is it? / - Let's find it.
I'm really telling you this because I didn't do it.
I'm being falsely accused.
(Mumbling)
Just stop it.
Be quiet. Be quiet.
Doctor Jang was definitely aware of it.
He knew that people who came to his lab
are those who ascended through the ascension ritual.
But since he became part of the list,
he must've thought that he should murder the Leader to survive.
How can you hide a weapon here?
Find Doctor Jang's weapon
You hid it in the stairs, didn't you?
Can the stairs be opened up?
(Should I help...)
Scalpel
I-I-I...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Begging
I've really been studying and researching hard for 10 years...
(Groveling knees)
How could you sell out your own people?
We don't have to hear anything.
You're saying you hid this, but couldn't use it?
I couldn't! I planned to kill him when he came down,
but he died up there. How could I have used it?
Look into my eyes.
Look at me.
Innocent eyeballs?
Should I take my eyes out?
All I did was study medicine for over 10 years.
I'm a fool who only knows about research.
Go there and start wilting.
Really! Madam!
(Going for the skirt)
Madam!
Madam, please realise my sincerity.
Okay. I'm not interested in you anymore.
His reputation is already dead
I'm 23!
Madam Detective!
You should stay there for now.
Where?
The prison.
Why would I go in there?
Stay in there for now.
The scalpel isn't an easy weapon to wield.
What was he planning to do with that?
Where should we investigate next?
Ah! Let's check our feet.
Our feet?
Find the owner of the footprints
- These footprints. / - Get over here, everyone.
The sole has a honeycomb pattern. So it's not me.
I think yours is the same pattern.
Dookdak Jang.
I don't even know what a honeycomb pattern is.
Super
confident
See!
It's honeycomb!
Found the honeycomb?
It's shining!
(Bling bling)
It's a perfect fit! It's shining!
- Is it the left? / - It is.
- It fits, because the sole is shining. / - It's on here!
A perfect match
Speak, you bastard!
You should just confess so we can move on.
This means you went up these steps before the varnish dried.
You were also the one who placed the bread there.
No, I didn't.
There must be a reason you went up the steps.
I wanted to take the lantern.
Getting the lantern?
Why?
I wanted to enter the storage.
With this lantern?
It was dark, so I couldn't see anything.
Why did you want to go to the storage?
I wanted to take something.
- Gasoline? / - What did you want?
Opium?
Why?
All I was thinking about
was that all the compensation from my hard work was stolen.
All he could think about was opium.
I took almost everything of worth when I went in, but...
Wait a minute, what is this?
Oh, right. What is that?
Why do you have a bag here?
Dookdak's bundle
Why didn't I consider searching this?
That's my bag. I was planning to leave.
What kind of bag looks like this?
Oh, what?
What is this?
Opium hunks
- Opium? / - It's opium, ugh.
Why did you take these pants?
Are you a collector of work pants?
You packed so many things.
Wait a minute, look at this.
We're suspecting opium because of this bread, right?
- I think this is Claviceps. / - I think so too.
This does look like Claviceps.
Claviceps grains?
There's wheat in here.
Look at these. This is Claviceps.
So what was written in the diary is real.
Claviceps: Moves even if covered in fire
In that case...
it could only be Faithful, no?
Courtesan. I wasn't going to show this.
I didn't think my Courtesan was like this, but...
"My Courtesan"? Since when was I yours?
I found this at the start.
You're so disgusting.
- What? / - In this women's magazine that Courtesan had...
What's wrong with me having interests?
She knew about Claviceps.
The limb contractions
resulting from eating snacks that included mould-infected wheat (Claviceps) were
something that looked similar to dancing
No, I didn't see that.
It's here as well?
It means another person knows about Claviceps.
The ones who know about it are
Doctor Jang, Faithful Key, and Courtesan Park.
Doctor Jang
Faithful Key
Courtesan Park
But let's say it's neither of us.
What should we do with them?
Don't they look like a couple?
An elegant pairing?
Are they married?
What are they doing over there?
Aren't you being too friendly?
(Jealous?)
No.
Peacefully raiding Faithful Key
Here.
These...
They're cigarettes.
Cigarettes
No, but... Oh?
This is weird.
I think they come undone?
They aren't ordinary cigarettes.
Yeah, something about these...
Why are you looking at those?
Doctor Jang. You're working so hard.
I have to catch them.
I knew it. I knew it.
What? Is there something?
It's right here! It's here!
Messages inside?
Look at that!
My ears are about to bleed.
What is it?
Claviceps?
What is this?
Yes. The things that look like cigarettes.
"We couldn't find New Village."
Notes from a group of defectors
"The ascended people are missing, including Wife Kim."
"Sunsun, not a religion for the people.
Colluded with the Governor. Cult."
The group of defectors gave him something.
He's searching for the missing people after getting information.
He knew.
Faithful knew about it before.
I was clueless when I first came.
But you found out about it from the defectors?
Even through the defectors,
nobody knew the ascended were murdered or experimented on.
You didn't feel certain because of the ring?
The ring was where everything started.
Dookdak picked it up near the altar
and walked around like this.
I said, "What's that? Where'd you get it?"
I recognised it, since it's my wife's ring.
Do that again. I don't walk like that.
Like this then?
Like that.
Someone just kill me.
So I couldn't find anything,
but then I got the ring.
- Did you think I would recognise it or not? / - He would.
I recognised it,
but a few days later, I suddenly became a Godking of Dance
and I was told I had to ascend.
If we're going to ascend, what we have to do is...
We're locked up and observed at all times in the prayer house.
So after a few days of that,
I was told to get ready for ascension.
So I pretended to be sick.
Thankfully, Doctor Jang left me alone for 20 minutes.
- Was it more than 20 minutes? / - It was 30 minutes.
So I escaped through the window
and met with the defectors, but they knew nothing.
They couldn't find the people.
So I went in through the window again.
When I got back, Doctor Jang hadn't returned,
so I immediately went to the prayer house.
Is that when you got the Claviceps?
I had no idea about the Claviceps.
That was very natural. Good.
That was natural.
Disappointed
How could I take it, when I didn't know he had it?
Since we're all here,
let's compare our hands to the handprint in the storage.
Okay.
That is weird too.
Find the owner of the handprint
- This... / - We should check.
What hand was it?
This is obviously a man's hand.
No, try it.
Look at me, it's bigger, right?
Look at me, it's bigger. It's not me.
It's definitely not me.
It's not me.
It's obviously you.
Even from a distance, I can tell it's you.
It's not me!
Next.
I found this!
Oh, this is a bit... It could be...
- It's you. / - You?
It's me.
Yeah, it's me
It's you?
It's me.
You lied, didn't you? Now put this on.
Go walk around with this.
It's mine, but I didn't lie.
(That basket is called a 'key')
Double key
I am very angry right now.
- I'm angry. / - Look at this.
I was there at 9PM and came back at 9:20PM.
I left the prayer house at around 3:10AM.
You left, in the early morning.
You shouldn't have left.
I heard that someone found the ring.
So I thought there was definitely something by the altar.
So I came to the storage...
- The door was open? / - The door was open.
If it wasn't, you couldn't have entered.
You got in because I opened it, right?
You better thank me.
Thanks, Dookdak.
Blatantly(?) confessing
What is he doing?
- So? / - So I went in.
Detective, they're all crazy.
I saw nothing. Nothing at all.
I ended up falling here and didn't realise I'd left a handprint.
- And then... / - You were touching around...
All I did was take resin and a torch.
Did you see what was left at the corner there?
The torch.
- The torch and... / - Where?
Let's go.
- The torch over there and... / - Let's go.
Be careful.
It's right here.
Look at this.
This is gasoline, and this...
A gasoline drum
This is gasoline,
this is resin oil,
A resin oil drum
and this torch is coated in...
Gasoline?
Gasoline. It smells like it.
Gasoline
It is gasoline.
Whose is this?
Is the torch that the Leader used up there?
(Faithful found something)
The torch up there...
No, this one...
There's a handprint on this. I told you?
Why are you confessing?
But I didn't use gasoline. I used resin.
Faithful's handprint?
Then why is your handprint here?
Because I used it, but I didn't soak it with gasoline.
I tossed it away after using it, and someone else must've used it.
You know that you're aiming a lot of arrows at yourself, right?
How did that happen?
Why are you asking us that?
You keep on showing us your innocent face...
Don't stare at us like you're clueless.
Congratulations, you're the main character.
Suddenly the main character...
But, I...
Earlier, you said you stayed in the prayer house.
After we learned the truth, you said you actually went out.
Then you said that you never used any tools.
But you confessed it was your handprint.
I did use it, but someone must've used it after.
Method acting?
- This is ridiculous. / - Did you do something here?
(The preparation room sink)
No, I didn't do anything there. Is there something?
There's something black here.
Was something burnt here?
There's black powder inside as well.
Black powder
Why is it black here?
Was the Claviceps thrown out here?
Like this.
This is it.
The bread was cut here.
They did it here.
This is where the Claviceps was added.
Look. It's clear now.
Only the person who prepared the bread could have done it.
I can't prepare anything for the ritual.
I think it was around 5AM. I stepped out,
and I saw the Leader doing something,
then he came out at 5:20AM.
From this room? Here?
10 minutes later, Modern left.
Right?
10 minutes?
That's not right.
Listen, Courtesan.
I came to the preparation room at 5:20AM
to dress him.
Then I went to the plaza.
Was there bread at that time?
I didn't look.
Modern.
I swear, Courtesan.
Look into my eyes. This is your final chance.
It's your last chance.
I can't see you again if you lie.
What are you doing?
What were you doing in those 10 minutes?
You can tell me, can't you?
What were you doing here?
No, I didn't do anything.
What were you doing for 10 minutes?
What are you talking about...
Why are you all...
Meditation?
I didn't do anything at all.
All I did was dress him up.
After he left,
I got changed and thought that I should watch the ceremony.
- I went to watch the ritual. / - Let's stop this.
Courtesan, you don't have to feel confused.
Unni, be clear with me. I'm confused.
Just believe in me.
Dookdak said that he saw her coming out 10 minutes later.
10 minutes is plenty of time
for her to fill the bread with Claviceps.
Nobody else was there.
She was already in the room and Gyoju had left.
For now, my prime suspect is Modern Joo.
The ones who know about Claviceps are
Doctor Jang, Faithful Key, and Modern Joo.
- You too, Courtesan. / - Add Courtesan Park.
I told you that it's not me.
Okay, okay. So 4 people, including me.
The Claviceps quartet
The last step of this plan
is to put Claviceps in the bread, right?
Eating the bread before lighting the fire
is part of the ritual's sequence.
If you don't know that, you wouldn't touch the bread.
Who knows about that?
Modern.
Faithful.
Dookdak.
But he doesn't fit the first requirement. He's excluded.
I don't know about the sequence, so I'm excluded.
The ones left are Faithful and Modern.
That is what you have to remember for now.
We can't think that way, since someone might be lying.
We need to find conclusive evidence.
There's something. There'll be something.
Came to look for something decisive
There's something.
Let's bang on the clues we've already checked
Hollow?
What?
I told you, didn't I?
What? What? What?
It must be something big!!!
What?
A secret space in the desk
A white tiger mask and
utensils for killers
She's a murderer!
- Why? / - Murderer!
I told you, the white tiger!
Ah, seriously.
You've been sitting so stoically, but now you're going red.
Look at this!
Dynamite, bullets, gun...
Full of brutal items
She's an independence fighter.
You have a knack for searching.
Please spare me. Remove Modern.
What is this?
As expected. You're smart, Dookdak.
Look at this.
(Reporting to the detective)
Aigo.
Aigo, it's all here.
There are explanations about drugs,
including opium and poppy.
Claviceps - When ingested, there is a risk of abortion and strong hallucinations
The list includes Claviceps too.
If you think that I'm a murderer who kills people without thinking,
that is a miscalculation.
I am...
The White Tiger?
I am the White Tiger.
Remember the person on the notice board? It's me.
But you don't use the items in there.
This red, yellow, and blue paint.
Where were the 3 paints used?
Oh, I've got it.
These are oil paints. They must be flammable.
Flammable!
Behind the oil paint container is a warning about flammability.
This means she could make the clothes flammable with these.
Aigo.
What now?
This means she could make the clothes flammable with these.
Aigo.
Photos stuck to it?
They are here.
Why didn't we see this?
Investigation map
- What is this now? / - What?
Colluded with Governor to exploit Koreans
Informed on independence army
They're all pro-Japanese scumbags.
Pro-Japanese?
Head of a pro-Japanese group
Colluded with Governor to conscript Koreans
- You killed them all? / - Our leader is pro-Japanese too.
Who is this?
Who is 'Wart Mole'?
Who is this?
An unknown target?
Does Gyoju have a wart mole?
Yes, he does! Right beside his nose!
Really?
- Gyoju has a wart mole! / - That's right! He has one!
Wait right here.
Everyone dispatches to find Gyoju's portrait
- You murderer. / - No, let's go together.
- A wart mole. / - Show me, show me.
Checking reality
Yeah, yeah. I knew it.
A wart mole.
What is this, Land Investigation Department?
Her parents...
Land Investigation Department
Contemporary Joo is my father.
Contemporary Joo
He is my father.
Shin Gyoju reported them, didn't he?
Your father's land turned into Sunsun's land?
Governor-General
Contemporary Joo
Sunsun
Final owner
Wow, look at that.
So since Sunsun stole her land,
she would hold a grudge against him.
Yes, that's right.
The one who stole her parents' land and killed them
was Shin Gyoju.
I'm the White Tiger, who murders pro-Japanese
and makes the murders look like accidents.
That looked like an accident.
Are you... are you confessing now?
Gasoline fire
Disguise as accident
Perhaps a confession...?
That's why I'm even more surprised.
Actually, I...
These words sound so familiar.
I was going to kill him.
This is driving me nuts.
Everybody said they wanted to kill him.
"I wanted to, but someone else did" transcends eras
You said you wanted to kill him as well.
But this is my first time.
Courtesan, I have a shocking confession to make.
Courtesan.
Gyoju asked me to kill you.
You think I didn't know that?
I thought you didn't know.
You got this contract, right?
In my whole life, I've never...
When everyone went to Gyoju's portrait
That's right! He has one!
Let's go.
Wait right here.
(Left alone)
Searching her lover's workplace
Tenacious
A suspicious letter?
A picture of Modern and Courtesan, and
Ah, seriously.
The House of Hwasun's owner. Kill Courtesan Park
An assassination request
Wasn't he trying to kill me for the affair?
You don't have to cry a single tear. Do you know why?
- Do you know why? / - Let's give them space.
No, Gyoju had no idea that I was the White Tiger.
He didn't know that I, Modern Joo, was the White Tiger.
That's why he sent me that request.
It was to the White Tiger.
But you know who you are!
That's why I was so pissed.
I was so pissed that I was going to kill him.
Because I love you!
What are you on about?
Hold on.
What does she mean by 'pissed'?
She was angry.
I wanted to kill him because I was so angry.
Gyoju was the enemy of her parents and her love
I wanted to use the oil paints to burn and kill him.
Why didn't you tell me?
But my plan was to burn him
in the preparation room after the final change.
It's okay, even if you did kill him.
I didn't kill him.
- You didn't? / - In the preparation room...
You didn't? That's a relief.
(A failed arrest?)
- Remember his clothes? / - Yes.
The colours on his clothes are from the oil paints.
I wanted to burn him while pretending to remove the clothes.
I could have pretended that it was an accident.
However, when I went to the plaza,
he was already on fire.
But someone killed Gyoju before her plan came to fruition?
So the oil paints...
What then? You're unconnected to the gasoline?
I don't know anything about the gasoline.
Me neither.
The container at the back? The storage?
Have you ever been here before?
Modern, have you ever been in the storage?
She's never come here before.
- You never came here? / - Not once.
She said she didn't.
(Taking her unni's side)
Let's go.
(Left speechless...)
You two!
- Don't talk with him. / - Mhm. Be careful.
Lovey
dovey
You be careful too, unni.
It's lonely being single...
Wait a minute.
Did he start the fire here?
Did he start the fire on this side?
Normally it's on the left.
It went like this and through here.
Firstly, what's clear is that
the arch is coated with gasoline.
There's also a trail of oil that burned his body.
Who is the one that poured the gasoline?
What is this doing here?
The container of gasoline behind the alter is suspicious.
It's also suspicious that Faithful's wife's ring is there.
I looked at the altar closer, but...
It opened?
- You startled me. / - What?
What did Dookdak find?
- What? / - What is it?
Oh, gosh.
A secret space below the altar
What is that?!
Is this where they get sent after ascension?
What do you mean? You know everything!
What do you mean, "What?" You knew about this!
Why are you playing dumb?
Yeah, why are you finding it now?!
So annoying!
Stay back. Don't cross this.
(Villain quarantine)
My goodness.
Sunsun's ugly truth hidden below the altar
Wait, so he started killing.
They're all bu.... They're burne- Oh!
Burnt corpses
Wife Kim.
Faithful, your wife must be in here. Oh, no.
1945, 3/30: Sunsun epidemic started
Ask Shin Gyoju to burn the corpses
Gosh.
That why we found the ring out there.
- Yes. / - Oh, no.
Wait.
Don't they look the same?
How horrible.
Doesn't the manner of death look identical?
They were all burnt.
So the reason Gyoju had to be burnt to death
was for revenge.
Why? Because his wife was burnt to death.
Faithful Key?
You startled me. Oh, gosh.
You criminal.
- I got chills. / - Ahjussi.
Found something?
By the way...
- You found something? / - Faithful!
Everybody is here.
- Faithful! / - They're all here.
Tags around their necks
What is your wife's name?
Wife Kim.
Wife Kim?
This is so difficult.
Jung Mooyong
Park Chumggun.
Park Chumggun
Lee Jangdan.
Lee Jangdan Godking of Dance
Moohee.
Kim Moohee
However, one of the bodies towards the front
didn't have any tags.
So if that's the body of Faithful's wife...
Wow, really... It's Key.
Another blow to Faithful Key
It's Faithful Key.
Wife Kim
This!
Here! W-W-Wife Kim!
Wife Kim's necklace!
Wife Kim's tags
He kept it in his pillow! His pillow!
are in Faithful's pillow?
I... found this place.
Why do you think I was searching the altar?
I believed that I would find something like this.
I was carrying a torch and found all of this.
Look. You keep saying you already knew, that's another confession.
- It's another confession. / - What did I do?
The criminal's preemptive actions...?
I found this and panicked.
Then I went to the prayer house
and was on standby at 5:40AM.
How could you do that when you found your wife dead?
What else could I have done?
I bet he went crazy when he found his wife's body.
There's no way he'd just wait quietly at the prayer house.
He would be sad and angry for what happened to her.
He would have felt fear as he'd face the same fate too.
It means he has two clear motives.
He has a clear reason
to kill Shin Gyoju and stop this ritual.
Wait, hold on. This...
What is this? Oil?
This is gasoline from the Governor's office.
Try sniffing it.
The Governor's item?
Then this oil...
That might be the oil too, the gasoline.
I think the oil was left there
Or
to burn the bodies that were experimented on.
Since gasoline from the government was found here,
it means the oil used to kill Gyoju is from the storage.
Who can get gasoline from the storage whose movements fit?
I'm so frustrated.
The unsolved question right now
is that the handprint was found like this.
Usually it indicates someone grabbing something underneath.
It so happens that the spot was for gasoline.
But he kept on saying that he only took resin.
However, the oil soaked on the torch is gasoline.
I'm not sure if someone could've used it later,
but until we find other evidence,
he'll be able to keep on lying.
Gasoline stored by the Governor
Someone could've taken it from here too.
This is driving me crazy.
What is it?
I don't think it was our gasoline.
What do you mean by that?
Collecting the gasoline from under the altar
Comparing
This is from the Governor's office.
Gasoline under the altar
If it's from March 1945,
the one labelled as from the government is ours.
There was a matching sticker underneath it, right?
This is the last container of gasoline.
If it's in here,
it means I couldn't have used the gasoline.
So this...
is from here...
This is it.
The one who could take the gasoline from this room
to the temple is the criminal.
So, this is the container of gasoline from the storage.
The one from the storage was with the bodies.
The container from here was found behind the altar.
So you're saying that the criminal used
Got the Governor's gasoline
the gasoline from here and put it behind the altar?
That means the criminal came to the Governor's office.
But this isn't an office, it's a corridor.
This is where the Governor's office starts.
Gasoline location
This was in the corridor.
My room is always open, as patients come in and out.
Corridor to the clinic
There was a party at the governor's office.
The people who went there were me,
Modern, Gyoju, Doctor...
Faithful.
I didn't go to the party.
But you were here.
Right, you came here as well.
Dookdak, you didn't drop by the office at all?
I've never been to any parties.
I wasn't invited, why would I go?
Just the building.
He would've been kicked out, if he came like this.
(Pro absentee)
We need to be suspicious of those who disappeared in the party.
What's certain is that Modern went missing.
I went to my store.
I don't know if that's true.
I left because of you, Courtesan.
That was all.
I can't trust you, because of how this case is going.
I have no idea where she briefly disappeared to.
That was what made me go crazy.
Doubts blossom between lovers
I didn't check Courtesan's room at all.
Let's say Courtesan is part of the independence army.
It means she has reasons to want to murder Gyoju.
On the surface, she is Gyoju's lover.
But I think she might have been living a double life.
Looking for her lover's double life(?)
Found evidence?
I couldn't believe my eyes.
My jaw just dropped, and I became completely speechless.
Bitter laughter
Hey, you fraudster.
What did you say?
Why? What is the matter? Why am I a fraudster?
What?
Is she in the independence army?
Why are you 39?
- She was 39? / - I knew it.
How can you be 39, telling people you're 23?
I told you that I felt something was wrong.
Hey, Modern. I'm on your side for this.
True killer colours
- This is... / - 23?
Is it a crime to look young?
I told you so.
I was right! 23...
She has a 23-year-old daughter.
Having a daughter that old is a bit too much.
Unni!
13 Years Younger Modern Joo (26)
She is at the end of her life.
Courtesan!
Doctor, you're studying eternal youth, right?
Tell me about it.
More desperate than Shin Gyoju
Please have a sit here, ma'am.
I've been tired since earlier.
(Respecting elders)
I don't know what you use, but it's very effective.
Powerful baby face
39...
You hid your actual age.
Everybody in this business does that.
What kind of business am I in?
- Really? / - It's an entertainment place.
Wait, let me ask you something.
Modern.
What?
Was it real love? With Courtesan?
(I'm curious too)
It was.
You had no ulterior motives?
What motives?
My love... is just for Cou- unni.
You're okay with my age?
You're still pretty.
Despite her age,
Courtesan, whom I love, is still the same person.
But I thought of this too.
She was able to keep her age hidden very well.
If she knows how to deceive others,
she can deceive people about other things too.
None of us are clean.
Let's gather together and talk.
Combining all the clues and finalising deductions
Let's talk for 10 minutes.
The most important things related to the case
are gasoline, firstly...
also, the Claviceps...
and the person who knew he'd eat the bread.
These are the three main points.
There are many people who know about Claviceps.
Doctor Jang,
Modern Joo,
Courtesan Park, and...
Faithful Key.
I have no knowledge of things like that.
After hearing the discussion,
you can find it in the Governor's clinic.
The people who can get their hands on it and bring it are...
Doctor Jang,
Faithful Key,
and Modern Joo.
Everybody knows about Claviceps.
Everybody is aware of it.
The person who has access to the gasoline
needs to be the one who can make changes to the bread too.
What time does the bread get prepared?
If they put it in the bread.
After Shin Gyoju left the room at 5:20AM,
Modern left the room after at 5:30AM.
So either the bread was poisoned before that,
and was delivered into that room,
or Modern might have done it during those 10 minutes.
No. I...
Everybody is suspicious of me
just because I was in the preparation room.
But I think it's possible that the bread
was already at the altar before I came.
In that case, Faithful Key and Doctor Jang
could have walked around the area during the early morning.
How do we even know if they are lying?
What did you do when you left your office?
After you checked me.
- Was it when you met Gyoju? / - Yes, that's right.
What time did you go to the party?
The party began after 8PM.
I went there with Gyoju.
But as soon as he saw Doctor,
Gyoju told me to go ahead to the 2nd floor before him.
- You saw us meet, didn't you? / - Yes.
- You saw them? / - I met him at around 9PM
and I told him that I would like to go to Japan
and then he told me,
"Okay, go. Go and do your best."
That shocked me.
Before that, he never let me go anywhere.
I thanked him and went back,
and he had disappeared.
I figured he'd just left, so I packed my things.
As you saw on my table, I left my packed things there.
I was packing my things.
I think it was sometime around after 11PM
when Kim Nakha dropped by.
He came in and put something inside the drawer,
I thought it was weird and looked inside,
and that was when I saw my name.
Doctor was packing his things to run away.
But he got betrayed.
He found out that he would be dying the next day.
However, he had the knowledge and power to take action.
He had been watching the ritual for years,
he has knowledge about the usage of gasoline and Claviceps,
he was able to get his hands on gasoline,
Easy access to gasoline
and he was able to get close to the altar too.
In that case, wouldn't he have done it?
He did nothing during that time?
Well, I did act in a way that could make people suspicious.
Because the resin and gasoline were found at the altar.
But I really could've have prepared the bread. Based on the time.
I secretly left the room at around 3:10AM.
I took the time when the people observing me changed shifts.
I saw everything, including that, to 3:40AM.
Then I went back quickly to avoid being caught.
That was when they started to guard this place heavily.
So I couldn't sleep at all until 5:40AM
and I just came to the ritual right away.
I didn't have the time to prepare the bread at all.
The ritual started at 6AM.
You secretly left the prayer house at 3:10AM...
Only until 3:40AM.
None of us know whether you were actually detained there.
That is true, but I hope you'll trust my words.
The conclusion is everybody had a plan to murder him.
At the moment. Everyone had a plan.
Fire(?) in the prep room
Scalpel stab
He didn't have any plan to kill him.
I didn't have a plan.
Based on everybody's situation, his is the most serious.
But he had nothing planned.
That frustrates me.
You should've had some plan at least.
I guess that's just... not my personality.
This guy.
It's either that you had no plans,
or your plan came to fruition.
It's one or the other.
I think the most important clue is gasoline from the office.
The gasoline from our temple is under the altar.
The one from the office was found behind the altar.
I think this was most probably executed by someone
who was aware of how gasoline burns.
If Faithful saw his wife's body,
he would think that since that is how his wife died,
he would need to murder Gyoju in the same way too.
He said we need to find the culprit
based on evidence and not intuition.
But we found a record of Faithful going to the clinic
and there's Claviceps in Doctor Jang's clinic.
- He knows the effects. / - I didn't know there was Claviceps.
Since he has watched the ritual before,
he knew that Gyoju would eat the bread, as he knows the agenda.
He was also aware about the burning ceremony.
There are so many intersections,
so based on that, I think it's Faithful Key.
I'm not saying it's definitely him though.
I'm just saying there's a higher probability.
Looking at the situation,
if we were to point and someone
and say it was a perfect crime and story line,
we're still missing conclusive evidence.
Regarding that final 10%...
Even when we're unconscious,
our body naturally tries to avoid the heat.
But because of the clothes...
The clothes are what made it impossible
for him to move and avoid the fire.
So Modern's plan
was a big help for the real criminal.
If she is the criminal, this was a perfectly planned murder.
So it comes down to whether she helped someone murder him
or if she is the murderer.
We need to find the evidence to tell what her role was.
But we have this.
She isn't someone who just murders a person.
She disguises them as accidents.
Her plan was to kill him through a fire mishap.
What happened actually coincides with her plan.
I think we are all missing something.
I believe there's something we haven't found, Detective.
I agree. There must be one crucial piece of evidence we missed.
Let's search this area.
You can take a look around for the last time and vote.
They have to find it in the final 3 minutes
Okay!
Let's get them!
I'm lost.
What is this, really...
After everyone looks for 3 minutes, the final vote will commence
I checked everything.
No, for the last time...
Vote based on the clues
Let's take a look again.
Faithful... Let's say that I'm him.
But...
The possession deductions(?) begin
New Village... Yeah.
"We couldn't find New Village."
He knew there was no New Village.
Look at this.
He saw his wife's body here.
So he might've killed him. Isn't that the strongest motive?
But... let's think. There's Modern Joo as well.
We found out that Modern was actually...
In any case, she's a human hunter.
She has reasons to murder her targets
and Shin Gyoju with the wart was her target.
Modern Joo wanted to murder Shin Gyoju,
so she went to the Governor-General's party.
She left early, at 9PM.
She had enough time to take gasoline from the office
and do what she had to in 10 minutes in the preparation room.
She came here. She did.
Everything was prepared here.
She controlled him both physically and mentally.
When the Leader started the fire,
she made sure the tip of the flame
would be able to reach our Leader
by pouring gasoline into this area.
And, to make sure he died from the fire,
she made his clothes flammable by coating them with oil paint.
To me, that is the decisive evidence.
I think the criminal is...
But she didn't cover the entire outfit with oil paint.
Saying it's Modern because of the paint is too big of a stretch...
After seeing his wife's body, he couldn't just leave it be.
The anger from seeing what happened to his wife
and the fear of being killed.
I think those are his two main motives.
Faithful went to see Doctor to get his IV.
But he was diagnosed with a fake illness.
Doctor also has Claviceps in his clinic.
He could've taken it from there.
He also had the opportunity and time to get gasoline.
He said that he couldn't enter the preparation room.
Initially, he said that it's part of the rules that
he couldn't step out from sunset to sunrise.
But he broke that rule anyway.
So was it impossible for him to enter the preparation room?
Faithful Key.
I hope you live happily with your wife in your next life.
You saw your own wife's immolated body?
Nobody could restrain themselves.
Today's criminal is you, Faithful.
Okay.
I'll pick...
Okay, I've decided!
I can't do it
I'm going crazy.
What is Detective Ahn's decision?
I'm certain the gasoline came from the office.
One person with itchy ears(?)
This is it.
If I believe that the gasoline belongs to the office,
the one who can easily access it is Doctor.
Also, there was Modern who left in the middle of the party.
Then we have to look at the Claviceps.
If only I could find Claviceps here...
But if we do a fact check,
Modern is definitely capable of having it,
but wouldn't the one who works with it be more likely?
It's the same thing with gasoline. It's just right next to his room.
Doctor is close to everything used to this murder case.
It's you.
"Pain from getting burnt."
It was written in detail.
It says they will, "Move even if covered in fire."
He knows that clearly.
One day, he was betrayed.
He was going to be murdered the next day.
And the scalpel.
Was he really planning to commit murder using that?
What was that supposed to be used for?
Faithful.
And Faithful Key...
Faithful claimed that he used resin.
But why does the torch smell like gasoline?
There are two possibilities.
One is that Faithful is lying
or, after Faithful left the torch,
someone else coated it with gasoline and used it.
He didn't have plans to kill, even after his wife's murder...
Is it Faithful Key?
Or is it Doctor Jang, who's done plenty of research on this?
The criminal is...
Courtesan's chosen culprit is?
Okay.
The final vote is complete
The deduction game, Crime Scene Returns' fourth episode.
The result of the breathtaking deduction game
to solve the Cult Leader Murder Case will be revealed.

Seems like it.
I think it'll be 1:3:3.

- It won't be. / - I want to see the votes.
I will announce the people who were ruled out.
The players who received 0 votes are...
Dookdak Jang
and Courtesan Park.
You have been ruled out as suspects.
(What about me?)
Someone voted for me?
What if there's a tie?
I really think it'll be 1:3:3.
Yujin had another vote.
I gave a vote to Doctor Jang.
I got picked.
Next, the players who received 1 vote are...
Modern Joo.
You have been ruled out as a suspect.
What?
Modern Joo is ruled out?
What?
I got 1 vote.
Then I... What about me?
I got votes?
(The culprit?)
- Are you crazy? / - But she got 1 vote.
She got ruled out.
(Or this side?)
I'm ruled out.
Are you crazy?
I'm scared.
The final suspects, Doctor Jang and Faithful Key,
please step forward.
Modern is ruled out?
It's definitely one of them.
You're scary. Why are you smiling like this?
What?
No way?
It's not me.
- Is it you, Modern unni? / - I'm not that kind of person.
- I'm a kind person. / - What is this?
Nobody...
Did I... waste my vote?
The final suspect is...
Doctor Jang.
Faithful Key.
Both are tied at 3:3 votes.
You're crazy.
Crime Scene Returns' first tie
Who was it? Are you crazy?
You're crazy.
Who was it? Are you crazy?
You fools!
I don't know who it is.
- What is this? / - What is happening?
What is this?
Total confusion
3:3?
Between these two, the ones who voted for Doctor Jang are
Detective Ahn, Faithful Key, and Courtesan Park.
The ones who voted for Faithful Key are
Detective Ahn, Doctor Jang, and Modern Joo.
What about Dookdak Jang?
Modern Joo.
Dookdak can never stop longing for Modern
He voted for Modern.
Dookdak voted for me.
You should think carefully.
He's still acting.
Incredible acting to the end?
Please have a discussion between yourselves
and select one person as the criminal.
Shall we defend ourselves?
Yeah, actually...
Faithful kept on talking about gasoline at the end.
That was what kind of swayed me.
The gasoline from the storage
is under the altar.
Even if I tried to use the torch,
I wouldn't be able to find gasoline there.
I believe that we need to pick someone
who can bring gasoline from the office.
As I mentioned earlier,
as someone who is invested in studying medicine,
I did a lot of research on biochemistry and in various fields
which includes Claviceps.
But perhaps it was fate, necessity, or even destiny,
someone got in trouble for using Claviceps.
If I were going to kill someone,
I would have many ways to do so.
But you saw my murder weapon.
I left it there.
That was my plan to murder him.
- With a scalpel? / - Yes.
How? Where would you stab him?
Just all over!
He's a quack.
I'll stab everywhere.
Since I know all the places to stab to kill him.
But what's important is that the criminal used Claviceps.
Wow, he's so sincere.
Don't forget that the murderer used Claviceps.
I didn't have any Claviceps.
Didn't he add Claviceps using this?
- Using the scalpel? / - Because...
He could've just used this...
We have three bread knives! Why would I use that?
- The bread was intact? / - Yes.
That's why bread knives are going out of business.
But the thing confusing me is
in Doctor's research notes, he wrote
they continue moving even when on fire.
Like they're dancing.
The reason I'm suspicious of him
is that the one who knows about the fire dance is Faithful Key.
But Doctor was a devotee here for a few years.
Also, Faithful Key...
he went to the hospital to get an IV drip.
Just talk normally, I can hear you anyway.
So he might've found the Claviceps.
He heard you.
Doesn't know
But that was before he found his wife's body.
We don't know that for sure.
He hid his wife's tags in his pillow.
You're right.
Everybody can hear you!
It's not you, is it, Modern unni?
It's definitely not me, Courtesan.
No, Courtesan unni.
Let's make a move on the count of 3.
Move from the centre.
Let's move on the count of 3.
If it's 2:2, we'll go with the Detective's side.
Please.
Who's certain?
- 1, 2, 3. / - Hold on.
1, 2, 3.
It's down to the Detective.
Wherever I go...
I hope you make a wise decision, Detective.
Please announce who is the final criminal.
The criminal is...
My instinct, as the best detective in Gyeongseong, is pointing to...
It's Faithful Key.
Faithful Key, please enter the cell.
Why are you smiling?
I hope you rot in prison.
When I get out of here, I'll kill you all with Claviceps.
With Claviceps, I'll just...
See? His true colours are coming out.
Detective Ahn, Doctor Jang, and Modern Joo, who voted for him,
please step forward.
Doctor Jang.
It's not me.
I feel excluded now.
Isn't it Modern?
It's not me.
- I still think it's her. / - If Faithful Key is the criminal,
Doctor Jang and Modern Joo will each receive $2,000.
And Detective Ahn will receive $1,000.
If Faithful Key is not the criminal,
the criminal will take all the money of those who didn't vote for them.
Modern will win loads of money if it's her.
Isn't it Modern?
If it's Modern...
- It'll be amazing if it's her. / - It'd be amazing if it's her.
Grab her hair if it's her.
Please.
I'll pull your necklace off. Really.
Dayworker was voted to be the Cult Leader Murderer.
Was he the criminal who killed Shin Gyoju?
It's better if he is.
Faithful Key, you are...
The criminal!
...not the criminal!
I told you it wasn't me!
The culprit was not caught
- It's you, right? / - No, it's not me.
No, it's really not me.
At risk of hair pulling(?)
Bring me the gun.
Bring me all the Claviceps.
It's Doctor.
The culprit was Doctor Jang?
The end, the scalpel, the...
Modern Joo?
Who is it?
The two of you...
(Definitely not him)
- Was it Dookdak? / - Definitely not.
I think it's you.
I'll get the scalpel.
The criminal who fooled all of you is...
Courtesan Park?
- Oh, so scary. / - It's not me.
Stop acting.
A consistently passionate act?
Red dress unni.
Please.
Please say that it's Dookdak.
Doctor Jang.
Therefore...
It's me?!
...the money of all those who failed to guess the criminal,
$5,000, will be entirely taken by the culprit, Doctor Jang.
Totally fooled
I told you it was Doctor Jang!
(Still
acting?)
That face!
I... don't remember!
What... What have I done?!
What did I do?!
It's all about the gasoline!
I told you that he was showing us his poker face.
A twist thanks to an amnesiac criminal act?
I predicted this.
See?
How did you do it?
He changed the tide at the end with his acting.
The scalpel is actually dangerous, give it to me. So I...
It's more dangerous if I give it to a criminal.
I'll tell you.
Using this scalpel...
Moving away
So scary.
The bread...
To add the filling?
You heard him say bread knives are going out of business, right?
It's true.
- I'm so bad at this. / - I put the Claviceps in
and wiped it clean... in this.
How despicable
I got goosebumps.
When did you do it?
What about the oil?
Everything he said was true.
It's the gasoline I brought from the office.
See!
Did you commit the crime between 4 and 5:20AM?
Yeah!
I woke up so damn early!
You have no idea how many times my alarm went off.
This is just crazy.
I kept going, "Just 5 minutes more."
5 minutes flew by, it felt like 5 seconds!
How many alarms did you set?
Seven.
A successful murder thanks to multiple alarms
Ahn got fooled again...
We ignored you because you look too much like a murderer.
I should have chosen him.
The Cult Leader Murder Case The Whole Story
Doctor Jang, who studied abroad thanks to Shin Gyoju.
He not only researched anti-ageing as Shin Gyoju wanted,
but he even made tablets to optimise his labour force.
He was becoming a key figure in the Sunsun religion.
Because of his deep interest in germs,
he suggested conducting tests on humans within Sunsun.
At Shin Gyoju's recommendation,
he became a researcher for the Governor-General.
He wanted to free himself from Sunsun and leave for Japan.
To gain the favour of the Governor-General,
he was willing to be part of the military's research
and found a virus for use in bacteriological warfare.
He even successfully developed a vaccine.
In March of 1945,
he reported the results of his experiment
and applied to be transferred to Tokyo.
While he was waiting to be transferred to Japan,
an epidemic broke out within Sunsun's temple
that killed many devotees.
The epidemic was caused by a virus that was released
by the bodies used for human experiments.
This meant that Doctor's vaccine was a failure.
He got gasoline from the government office
and burnt all of the bodies.
He felt at ease, thinking that he had closed the case.
However, Shin Gyoju noticed Doctor Jang's betrayal
and told the Governor that the vaccine was a failure,
who then demoted Doctor to be a research assistant.
Furthermore, as the war rekindled,
the Governer-General he trusted left for Japan,
making Doctor Jang more anxious.
When Doctor Jang threatened Shin Gyoju
about the secrets of his human experiments,
surprisingly, Shin Gyoju readily agreed to send him to Japan
and asked to meet after the ascension ritual tomorrow.
However, all of this was a scheme to cover Shin Gyoju's involvement
in the human experiments.
And so,
Doctor Jang resolved to turn Shin Gyoju into one of those bodies.
On the day of the murder,
he took ground Claviceps and gasoline from the office
to Sunsun's temple.
He took a torch that was left on the ground
to start a fire using gasoline.
Then he used his scalpel to fill the bread for the altar
with the Claviceps that he prepared.
He then returned the bread to its original location
and left the preparation room.
After he covered the arch with gasoline,
he poured a trail of gasoline to where the Leader would stand.
After that, Shin Gyoju went on stage for the ascension ceremony
and as he burned to death, moving as if he was dancing,
Doctor Jang was watching,
and dreamed of a perfect crime.
The Cult Leader Murderer went free
What a shame.
I told you it wasn't me.
After everyone left
Jeon Minkyo, the suspect in the murder case of Son Jang has died,
shaking the foundation of the Fungmu Group.
Amidst Fungmu's crisis

A suicide with a note left behind?
This definitely isn't suicide. This is a murder.
A murder disguised as a suicide?

I can't live with you.
I really wanted to be chairman.

Secret motives
Oh, what is this?
A suspicious dying message and

He had some kind of spiritual adjustment.
For the purpose
I thought he was possessed, every time.

Doesn't this look like a cult?

According to plan
Does that make sense?
Unbelievable true colours
There's a mass human experiment going on.
Completing the whole story,
The big stories were all connected?
who is the one true culprit?
