Write them on paper.

Please, we’re running out of time!

Don’t you get it, Lorelei?

How do we crack the code?

Only Loki can do that!

I'm not the suspect.

Well...

what did you expect from me?

And you’re saying I was just offended by what you did,

which you think wasn’t wrong?

Where’s the rest of his team?

And I clearly heard him dial that number.

It came from his phone.

Officer Montreal.

Are you okay?

Yes, of course!

How can we help you?

Chief wants to consult something with you guys.

Would it be okay if I discuss it properly first?

Alright.

Is Chief busy again, so he sent you here again?

Is he handling a much more important case?

Something like that.

That’s why I’m always the one he sends to hand things out,

deliver, or call someone.

So, how can we help you?

We received a missing person report the other day.

A female student.

Apparently, she hasn’t been home for two days.

So you want us to find her?

She might have just eloped with her boyfriend

or run away from home

to get away from her abusive parents.

Actually, there’s no need to look for her anymore.

She was found last night.

If that’s the case,

what do you still need from us?

Oh!

I think I should clarify something...

She was found, but...

she was found dead in an abandoned building near campus.

Her body was found burned.

She was barely recognizable if not for her things scattered around.

And what’s the tablet for?

Someone posted about it on social media.

An anonymous user.

He posted this video. Take a look.

That’s enough!

That’s enough!

Why did we even have to watch that video?

The video’s already been taken down from social media.

Good thing we downloaded it right away.

This is solid evidence for the case.

The girl in that video is Faye Figueroa.

She's the missing student.

With all the resources of the campus police,

you can solve this case on your own.

Why do you still need our help?

According to our lead,

they say one of Faye’s orgmates did this.

Org?

Yes, Faye was part of a student executive committee.

The execom?

Aren’t they supposed to be the student council’s right hand?

They’re a group of student volunteers

always assigned to run errands during events.

Yes, you're right.

That’s why we need your help here.

We can investigate the suspect in the execom,

but if we do,

it’ll draw too much attention.

That’s why Chief thought maybe you could handle the investigation,

so people wouldn’t get alarmed.

Didn’t you say you already have a lead?

Can you tell us who the suspect is?

This is Hector Alvarez.

He was with Faye in the execom.

He’s also the one being pointed to as the prime suspect

by the victim’s parents.

He was Faye’s boyfriend, and...

possibly the last person seen with her before she disappeared.

I know you think he looks innocent.

But by now you should know that looks can really be deceiving.

Alvarez…

Does he have any connection to our mayor?

Yes.

He’s Mayor Vicente Alvarez’s nephew.

So that’s why the Chief didn’t directly involve the campus police yet.

He doesn’t want to be singled out by the mayor.

And of course,

he’s also careful not to ruin the university’s name.

Good move.

That’s why, as much as possible,

Chief wants to keep this investigation discreet for now.

You were the first people he thought of, trusting you with this request.

Don’t worry, officer.

We’ll take it from here.

Expect to hear from us anytime today.

May we get your number

so we can contact you for any developments?

Alright, I should get going. The investigation’s about to start.

Thank you.

Hurry up and eat.

We need to carry out the investigation while it’s still break time.

The sooner we close this case,

the sooner we can focus our collective attention on the rookie officer.

So what’s the plan?

You two will visit the Office of the Student Executive Committee.

While I will check the security footage on the day of the victim’s disappearance.

Can I just go with you instead, Loki?

I’ll learn a lot more if I go with you.

I need to learn from the best!

You have nothing to worry, Jamie.

Lorelei is a capable detective-in-training.

You can learn a thing or two from her.

Besides, Lorelei needs you there more...

since you remind Margarette of someone close to her.

Let’s go.

We'll meet again later.

It’s you and me again.

It feels like déjà vu, right?

Come on, Jamie. Now is not the time to trade barbs.

If you don’t wanna come with me, then stay here.

Oh, come on, Lorelei!

Will you manage without me?

I don’t think so.

Fine. Go ahead.

Let’s go!

Before we enter,

have you come up with a brilliant plan?

Don’t tell me we’re just going to walk in there like that?

Actually, I haven’t thought of one yet.

Gosh!

It should’ve just been me and Loki investigating this place,

while you checked the security footage.

You’d probably be more useful for something that boring,

since you’re a boring person anyway.

You know what?

Let’s just go back to Loki.

Jamie! Get back here!

Come on!

Ooh...

That’s a face I don’t get to see here every day.

What are you doing here?

Do you have business with us, or are you just lost?

Isn’t the magnet of bad luck with you today?

- Well... - Hi!

We’re not lost.

We came here on purpose.

We’re here to investigate

the disappearance and death of an execom member.

You mean, Faye Figueroa?

And what does the Q.E.D. Club have to do with her?

Sorry, but it’s none of your business.

And we’re here to talk to Hector Alvarez.

But it’s definitely my business,

because I’m the chairwoman of the executive committee.

And just so you know,

the execom is already conducting an internal inquiry about that matter,

so external interference is no longer needed.

You can head back to your clubroom now and just relax there.

There’s nothing wrong with us doing separate investigations, right?

It’s better to have another set of eyes

looking at the case from a different angle.

That’s just my two cents.

Fine.

I’ll let you talk to Hector, but you have to wait here.

Unauthorized students aren’t allowed inside.

And by the way, this is a sensitive case.

If you mess this up,

everything we’ve worked for will go to waste.

Nice acting!

Well, I’m not a theater actress for nothing.

And what I find strange is,

what’s with her reaction when she saw me?

She's the same as Loki.

Is there something wrong with my face?

Your face is fine.

It’s just that...

you remind them of their late friend, Rhea.

You’ve got the same aura and style,

especially that braided red hair.

Really?

I didn’t know that my looks will bother them, especially Loki.

Should I change my hairstyle?

Excuse me, you wanted to talk to me?

I’m Hector Alvarez.

I’m Lorelei Rios. This is Jamie Santiago.

We’re from the Q.E.D. Club.

Q.E.D. Club?

If you’re gonna ask me questions, can we talk in the parking lot instead?

Because Maggie asked us to buy some materials for the redecoration.

Sure! No problem.

Okay. I’ll head there first, okay?

He looks innocent.

But for someone who just lost his girlfriend,

he seems so unbothered.

Hector!

Our condolences for Faye’s passing.

But we’d like to ask you a few questions about her.

Why?

Do you think I had something to do with what happened to her?

Do you think I could do that to someone I love?

I know...

everyone thinks I’m not even affected by what happened to her.

But deep inside...

I’m just keeping it all inside.

I need to...

I need to force myself to be normal.

So I don’t completely lose my mind.

It’s not that we suspect you, Hector.

To be honest, we’re interviewing everyone close to her

so we can figure out what really happened to her.

We want to see the bigger picture

so we can get an idea of what really happened to Faye.

What is it you want to know?

The last time Faye was seen was two days ago, is that right?

Yeah.

The last time I saw her was after the noon break.

We were together at the execom office then.

Maggie asked us to handle some paperwork.

Didn’t you meet after that?

We already went back to the classroom after that.

We actually agreed to just meet here at the parking lot after that.

To make things clearer, this was our conversation.

This was our last conversation with each other.

My guess is, whoever she was meeting before we met up…

might be the one behind this horrific crime.

Once I find out who did this to her…

what’s coming for them will be worse than a fire.

Do you have any idea who she was meeting that day?

Faye never mentioned anything to me.

But I have a feeling...

it might be the guy I saw talking to her before.

What makes you say that?

Who was the guy?

Can you describe him to me?

I don’t know, there was just something off about him.

I didn’t really get a good look at his face, but…

I remember he had a lollipop in his mouth that time.

It was actually pretty weird.

I never got the chance to ask Faye about it.

If you still have more questions,

you can just come see me at the office later.

I’ll still be coming back here anyway.

I hope I was able to help with your investigation somehow.

Wait!

Can we get your number?

Sure, no problem.

Thank you.

That’s her!

That’s her.

Let’s check the CCTV at the gate.

Can you speed it up?

He’s a damn good actor

if he’s lying.

It’s a believable story...

but I’m not totally convinced.

Something is off.

Based on his message thread with Faye...

their relationship seemed okay.

But what possible motive

could he have for hurting his girlfriend?

That "suspicious guy" he keeps talking about who's always with Faye,

it sounds legit.

Unless, he mentioned it

just to divert our attention away from him.

Regardless, he’s still our primary suspect.

He can’t shake off our suspicions so easily.

I wonder what Loki’s found so far.

I watched two videos at the security office.

The CCTV footage from the school building entrance

and the footage from the front gate.

At 4:15 p.m.,

the victim was last seen leaving the building.

But she was not seen leaving the campus grounds through the gate.

Didn’t the same thing happen to Madonna Barcelon?

Later on, we found out

that she was killed within the campus premises.

Only this time it’s different.

The now-deleted video

proves that she was killed outside the school premises.

So the question is,

how did she get out of the school without being caught on CCTV footage?

Around 4:12 p.m.,

Hector received a text from Faye

saying she was on her way to the parking lot.

She was really on her way to their meeting spot.

Security camera at the front gate only captures those students

who are entering and leaving the campus on foot.

The fact that Faye did not appear on the footage

only means one thing,

she did not walk out of the campus.

Someone snuck her out of school through an unsuspicious method.

In the car!

Because they used a different exit.

Right!

You mentioned that the victim

was supposed to meet the suspect in the parking lot.

Everything seems to make sense now.

The suspect didn’t need to force the victim into the car

because she went in voluntarily.

So no one suspected him,

especially since Hector’s car was tinted as well.

But how do we explain the text message Hector received

around 4:50 p.m.?

That message was meant to establish an alibi,

or at least, reduce the suspicion anyone might have on him.

Maybe it could be sleeping gas in the car,

or a substance to make the victim unconscious while he waits.

So the message was fake?

Yes!

When he knew the victim was sleeping,

he took her phone and messaged himself.

He probably waited until dark before bringing the victim

to the abandoned building meters away from school.

So what do we do now?

Should we tell the police?

I mean, we have an idea how Hector got Faye out,

but we don’t have any evidence.

Don’t forget about his connections too.

He’s the mayor’s nephew.

If we are to make an accusation of a crime this serious,

we must have hard proof.

Then let’s go to the abandoned building, so we can get some evidence.

I don’t think he’s a fool to leave any traces in the crime scene.

I don’t think there’s nothing to be found in that abandoned building.

Because if there was,

the police should’ve already found it.

So what’s the solution?

How do we find concrete evidence?

We’re not gonna look for evidence...

we’re gonna produce it.

Produce it?

How do we do that?

You know what gaslighting is?

It’s a form of psychological abuse where we present false information

to disorient our target.

Now, Hector believes his crime is perfect,

but what if we tell him it isn’t?

He would doubt his memory

and he would be forced to do something that we can take advantage of.

As expected from you, Loki.

You’re really brilliant!

You quickly figured out a way.

Did you get Hector’s number?

0-9-0-5-3-3-1-4-6-8-4.

I’ll message you later about our next moves.

For now,

let’s go to our respective classes.

Let's meet up at 4:30 p.m. at the abandoned building.

Wait.

Can you at least share with us what your plan really is?

After reading this, he’d probably panic and rush to the crime scene.

Which means he's really guilty.

But would going back there be enough evidence, if ever?

Don’t worry.

I have a plan.

Listen to me.

We’ll find out soon enough.

Let's go.

Now, all we have to do is wait for our prey.

Let’s hide! Hurry! Let’s hide!

Start recording.

Okay.

Is this what you’re looking for, Nestor?

It’s Hector, Loki. Not Nestor!

- My God! - Isn’t that an execom badge?

I also saw one like that on Margarette, on her lapel.

I got this while I was investigating here.

I believe this is yours.

Wait, you’re Loki from the Q.E.D. Club, right?

And you were with those two girls who talked to me earlier.

Now we have the proof.

Huh? Wait, you’re mistaken.

This badge isn’t mine.

I actually left mine at my house and...

I wasn’t even carrying it when I came...

So you’re saying you were the one who brought Faye here and burned her?

Do you think this is enough, huh?

To pin the crime you’re accusing me of on me?

That slip of the tongue?

No.

But this.

This badge has your fingerprint now.

I can already report this to the campus police that I found it

while investigating the crime scene.

This will confirm that you are suspect number 1.

Imagine the scandal that it can cause to your family.

Oh, my God! That’s amazing!

He was able to produce evidence.

The police will definitely investigate this.

They will no doubt find your fingerprints since you revisited the crime scene.

We've also recorded you coming in

through our...

cleverly concealed camera.

So if I were you,

I’d surrender.

It's game over now.

Even whatever you say to me,

in the end it won’t really matter anyway.

I mean, It’s your word against mine!

And that badge?

That doesn’t even mean anything.

More or less prove anything.

You can come out now!

We got your confession on record.

Okay!

You’ve got my confession on record. Fine.

But do you really think that’s enough evidence?

I can easily evade that kind of evidence,

especially now that AI is everywhere.

Well, maybe...

maybe you’re right.

But the video of you revisiting this area.

Plus your fingerprints.

You don’t think that’s enough evidence for us?

You know, they warned me about you.

But I didn’t listen.

Who warned you about me?

I know you already know who it is.

Do you still want me to say the name?

It’s Moriarty.

Did he order you to do this?

To burn your own girlfriend?

That’s her fault anyway!

She got too close to me, didn’t she?

If she hadn’t done that,

then I probably wouldn’t have done this either.

That’s on her,

not on me.

Our relationship was an illusion.

A lie, to get her closer to me.

Too bad, I really did fall for her.

But recently,

I found out the execom’s investigating me

because of my connection to Daniel Geronimo.

That name sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

I found out the execom used Faye to keep an eye on me.

That’s what really pissed me off.

So I decided to get back at them.

I didn’t tell Faye right away that I knew the truth.

I pretended I was completely in love with her.

And once I earned her trust,

I carried out my dark plan.

Simple as that.

I had to do it, because if I didn’t,

you might’ve already heard I’m dead.

He eleminates those who fail him.

He doesn’t leave loose ends, huh?

That Moriarty.

I actually agree with that.

Making a mistake with him is a huge mistake.

That’s why...

it’s time to die.

Loki!

Jamie!

Hit him, Loki!

No.

- No! - Die! Die!

Loki!

Loki! Loki! Loki! Loki!

Are you okay?

Didn’t you get hurt?

I just wanna say,

thank you to Lorelei for your quick reflexes.

But we need to proceed to the second part of the plan.

Huh?

Wait...

Are we still going to falsify evidence?

Are we going to lie to the police?

I have no choice.

I have to do this to make sure that criminal ends up in prison.

Because if I don’t,

more victims might end up because of Moriarty.

- But... - Lori!

We just have to believe in Loki.

Is that concern more important to you now

than giving justice to Faye’s death?

Sometimes when fighting evil,

the end justifies the means.

Fine.

I trust you.

Hello.

Officer Montreal.

We can’t contact Chief Estrada.

We need you at the crime scene.

We're about to confront the culprit. Thank you!

Wait, why did you say we’re only about to confront him?

I don’t have time to explain.

I need you to do something quick.

Alright, sure! What is it?

You girls need to punch me in the face.

- What? - What?

As hard as you can.

Why would I do that?

We need to show them that Victor really got to me.

Hector! My God, Loki!

You know, your name blindness is really getting frustrating!

And what, we’re going to lie to the police too?

You really don’t listen, do you?

- You’re really getting on my nerves! - You’re annoyed?

- Are you annoyed? - Yes!

- I’m really fed up with you! - Use that!

Come on! Why won’t you hit me?

Lori!

Loki, are you okay?

Oh, what happened here?

Chief, we were supposed to confront about his crime.

But he attacked first,

and he was even carrying a butterfly knife.

Good thing, we got ahead of him.

Besides, we have all the evidence against him.

As far as I know, I was asking you for help in investigating.

- Faye Figueroa’s death. - Sir, excuse me.

But I didn’t expect you

- to go as far as confronting... - Come with me.

the suspect on your own.

You shouldn’t do things without us knowing.

What if you got into danger, huh?

Chief, I’m the one apologizing on their behalf.

They did make a big help to the case, though.

Alright. I’ll head upstairs first.

I’ll look for supporting evidence.

Officer Montreal, I’ll leave the kids to you.

Are you okay?

We’re okay, officer.

Officer...

can I borrow your phone for a moment?

I need to send a text.

People at home are probably starting to worry

because I haven’t gone home yet.

Don’t you have a cellphone?

My phone got broken.

Because of the intense confrontation earlier.

Lori left hers in the Q.E.D. clubroom because she was in a hurry.

Alright.

What happened here?

Did you get it?

There were ten numbers in his call log.

Wait, wait. Lori, wait.

Is it okay now?

- Have you called it already? - Thank you, officer.

Alright. Take care next time, okay?

Yes.

Thank you.

Can deception ever justify the pursuit of truth?

Do you realize, Loki, that you just cut loose the thread

that could’ve led them to the mystery man?

We’re clearly busy at the moment.

I just wanted to ask if Jamie passed by here.

All the execom and campus police are searching the school buildings.

Let’s try cracking the code again.

And if you want to prevent another victim of Moriarty...

I suggest, you stop muttering and give us the urgent help we need.

We have to see for ourselves if Jamie is really out there.

Come on!
