MURDER CLUB: LIAR'S TABLE

Oh!

You're the MASTER.

You're the MASTER.

Huh?

Who's the MASTER?

-Aren't you the MASTER? -My brother's the MASTER.

No. It's you, isn't it?

-Me? -[Mr. X] Yes.

-I'm Mr. L. -[Mr. X] Earlier,

it said in the news article

that one brother was taken to hospital while the other fled.

"Phone scam gang on the run got into a car crash."

"Technical mastermind seriously injured."

I was involved in an accident

where I injured my leg while fleeing with my older brother.

HE WAS LIMPING WHEN HE WENT IN BUT HE WASN'T WHEN HE CAME OUT

[Mr. T] You're saying he's actually the MASTER, not Mr. L?

So Mr. L is the one who died?

WERE THE MASTER AND MR. L TWINS?

-[Mr. T] But-- -Here's what we know.

-Mr. L should have a limp. -[Mr. X] Right.

But the person claiming to be Mr. L right now

is faking a limp.

He's living under the identity of Mr. L.

One of my card clues is a prison guard's testimony.

It said, "I heard two men raise their voices."

-Two men were fighting. -[Mr. X] Right.

They fought as if they wanted to kill each other.

So I think the MASTER and Mr. L fought over money,

and their lives ended up switched.

WHAT IS MR. L'S TRUE IDENTITY?

[host] It is time for the private conversations.

We confirmed that we all fired our guns at least once.

-I only fired once at the cabinet. -[Mr. L] Right.

So I can't be the culprit, can I?

-The gun… -We can't be sure of that.

Do you remember when you fired your gun?

It was at 00:25.

-[Mr. P] Yeah, it was around that time. -Okay.

-What was it you took? -[Mr. L] Why'd you shoot it?

We impersonate prosecutors and tell people to check their account, right?

That phishing scam was my idea.

-I came up with it. -Yes.

But we ran the scam so many times

that clients started to catch on,

so we needed a new idea.

The new ideas were in that cabinet.

New ideas? So you went to get the script--

To show it to the MASTER.

-[Mr. L] For the MASTER? -While we escaped.

You must be pleased.

-[Mr. P] What? -Never mind.

Then when you eventually got to the control tower--

He was already dead.

-[Mr. L] He was dead. -Yeah, that's right,

-when we were so close to escaping. -[Mr. L] Yeah.

-We need to find who betrayed the MASTER. -That's right.

-[Mr. X] I think-- -I think you're the traitor.

-Me? -[Mr. X] No, that would be

-way too obvious. -You think so?

[Mr. X] Yeah, that would be too easy.

I think it's Ms. H because--

You think it's Ms. H?

-[Mr. X] She really-- -It's not her.

I spoke to her, and she said she's innocent.

She got a bit teary and insisted it wasn't her.

What's your blood type?

-I'm type A, which means I'm very timid. -[chuckles]

I don't have the personality

-to kill someone. -Right?

-Yeah. -I'm type A, too.

[Mr. X] That doesn't prove anything.

Here's why I think it's Ms. H.

She took the disk containing the VIP list from the storage room.

CCTV CLUE 1 MS. H TOOK THE BACKUP DISK FIRST

She must have been planning to do something with it.

-She didn't need the MASTER anymore. -[Mr. X] Also…

I also think it's Ms. H

because she raised her gun outside the gate…

-[Mr. X] Right. -…but she didn't shoot.

SHE POINTED HER GUN TOWARD THE CONTROL TOWER

When the gate opened soon after,

I think she went into the control tower and fired her gun.

-She didn't need the MASTER… -Right.

-…and got the disk-- -[Mr. L] She could put

a new team together.

And her younger brother was scammed out of 150 million won,

-which is a huge amount of money. -It is.

What do you think of Mr. T? Right now, there's nothing…

We barely have any clues about him.

That makes him more dangerous.

It's either Ms. H or Mr. T.

It's one of those two. We narrowed it down.

But I don't think you should jump to conclusions

because we've only been here five minutes,

and you've already been swayed

-into changing your mind. [laughing] -That's my weakness.

It sounds like you might be on to something.

That darn Ms. H!

She's the culprit.

To start with, I think Mr. L is spewing nonsense.

He's limping now,

but we saw on the CCTV that his leg was fine.

-There is so much pointing at him. -Way too much.

I think he talked off the cuff earlier,

not knowing so much evidence would come out.

Look, he's limping! His leg is hurting.

My brother is actually the MASTER.

I hung him up.

There was a shot fired before. I think that was me.

-And now, his lies are unraveling. -[grunts]

He's being inconsistent.

So he's becoming the prime suspect.

The person I suspect is Mr. L.

ROUND 3 CARD CLUES

AI LOG, P'S NOTEBOOK, USB

MASTER'S TORN-UP NOTE, PRISON VISITATION LOG

[host] The fourth shared clue is the Goldilocks Zone.

[Ms. H] Goldilocks? What's that?

[host] The Goldilocks Zone

is the ideal shooting distance, not too close, not too far.

That means someone in this zone fired the fatal shot.

It's the viable range.

[Mr. T] Shall we take a card clue from Mr. P?

-[Ms. H] Yes. -We already have proof that it's not me.

I fired once at the cabinet.

-I'll take from one Mr. T. -Okay.

MR. X TAKES ONE FROM MR. T

MR. T'S CARDS ARE SUDDENLY VERY POPULAR

-[Mr. T] There's evidence we missed. -[Mr. L] Oh, yeah.

I really hope we find something conclusive.

OBJECT CLUES COLLECTED

[Mr. T] Hey, look.

Mr. L keeps pretending to limp.

You don't need to do that.

-How rude to an injured person. -[Mr. T] You don't need to fake it.

[Mr. P] It says here the system owner,

the server administrator,

changed from the MASTER to Mr. L.

THE MASTER WAS BLOCKED FROM THE SERVER

MASTER: ACCESS DENIED

I'll come clean. I'm not Mr. L. I'm actually the MASTER.

-[grunts] -So the MASTER isn't dead yet.

The one who died is Mr. L.

THE MASTER WAS PRETENDING TO BE HIS TWIN BROTHER MR. L

MASTER

It's been really hard pretending to be Mr. L.

I am actually the MASTER.

-What the heck? -[Mr. X] The victim was Mr. L, right?

I'm the MASTER, and my dead younger brother

is still hanging in the control tower.

-Who hung him? -I must find the killer.

I hung him up, but I'm not the one who killed him.

-[Mr. X] You sound like real siblings. -[laughing]

HEHE

-Unbelievable! -[laughing]

Who are you really? Darn it.

You would lose, Mr. P.

He's got fast reflexes, so you can't beat him.

So you're the MASTER, not Mr. L?

Yes, I'm the MASTER, which just proves I'm not the culprit

because my brother was essential to me.

What kind of scary person hangs up and shoots an essential person?

[the MASTER] I'll explain the story.

Hear me out.

Don't tear up.

WAHH

-[all laughing] -[Mr. P] Don't put on a show!

DISPLEASED

You mustn't attack him. You'll face consequences.

-Who cares! -He has fans around the world.

We need to catch the culprit!

My younger brother tried to kill me

because he was unhappy with his share.

So I had no choice but to restrain him…

[voice cracking] …and the server…

-[Mr. P] Why did your voice just crack? -[Ms. H] Hey!

-[laughing] -[exclaiming]

[Mr. T] You'll both get into trouble!

We're all in for it.

-We have to be careful. -[Ms. H] Mr. L.

We wouldn't tease Faker like this.

I needed my brother to manage the system,

and there was a chance I might fail to retrieve

the backup disk from the storage room.

So I had no reason to kill my brother.

I hung him up and went to the storage room,

and I came back at around 00:36,

but he was already dead.

CASE TIMELINE

THE MASTER RETURNED AT 00:36

I looked for the backup disk but--

It wasn't there, and it turns out she took it.

-[the MASTER] Yeah. -[Mr. X] Why did you take it?

MS. H TOOK THE BACKUP DISK FROM THE STORAGE ROOM AT 00:10

Now, it's my turn to explain.

I had a plan.

After the escape, I planned to set up

a two-person company with the MASTER

and take all of the profit.

Just you two? You planned to ditch us?

-I'm sorry, but-- -[Mr. T] Hang on.

What about everything we've done together?

Were we used and tossed?

-That reminds me of my wife. -[laughing]

CRACKING UP

My goal was

to steal the backup disk

and use the VIP list on it

to found a new organization of my own.

I wanted to be queen.

SHE AIMED TO BECOME THE BOSS OF A NEW CRIME NETWORK

I have another CCTV password. Should we check it?

-I have one too. -Let's go check.

I feel like we'll find something.

-[Mr. P] What's this? -[Mr. X] It's the younger brother!

-[Ms. H] What? -[Mr. P] The younger brother.

Mr. L!

[Mr. P] Yeah, that's Mr. L, right?

Who is that?

-He's my brother. -It's Mr. L.

It's Mr. L, who we mistook for the MASTER.

-[Mr. P] His hands are cuffed. -[Mr. T] The time was 00:20.

CASE TIMELINE MR. L WAS ALIVE AT 00:20

CHECKING THE NEXT CCTV CLUE

-[Ms. H] Oh, my. -What? This is…

-Who is that? Mr. X? -Who's that?

MR. X IS LOOKING AT THE BODY

-It's Mr. X. -Mr. X!

-Why is that me? -He's still alive.

-He's alive. -You're too handsome.

-[Mr. P] He just saw him and walked out? -[chuckles]

Oh, I know what this is.

I told you I saw him hanging first, right? He was already dead.

MR. L WAS TIED UP BUT STILL ALIVE AT 00:20

HE WAS DEAD BY THE TIME MR. X ARRIVED AT 00:32

CASE TIMELINE MR. X ARRIVED AT 00:32

MR. L WAS MURDERED BETWEEN 00:20 and 00:32

CHECKING THE NEXT CCTV CLUE

Who is that?

-[Mr. X] This was at 00:30. -[Mr. T] I think that's me.

-[Ms. H] It's Mr. T. -Oh, right!

-He has a gun. -Look at his face.

MR. T LINGERED BY THE SHOWERS AT 00:30

What is he looking at?

[Ms. H] What's that?

A GUN IN ONE HAND, A PIECE OF PAPER IN THE OTHER

Oh, I think I know what that is.

It was on one of the card clues I picked.

It was some kind of formula

for calculating the ideal position to successfully shoot the target.

[gasps]

[Mr. P] It's a mix of math and physics.

PROOF HE CALCULATED WHERE TO SHOOT FROM?

-I'll show you. -Suspicious.

[Mr. X] Exactly.

-[Mr. X] Now the spotlight's on Mr. T. -[Mr. P] Gosh, I…

[the MASTER] As you can see, these are math equations.

It's a formula for calculating

where the shooter had to stand in order to kill the MASTER.

[Mr. P] It's genius.

So Mr. T planned to kill him.

-But here's what I don't get. -[laughs]

Who does the math before pulling the trigger? [chuckles]

It makes sense if you want to kill them on your first try.

Ordinary shooters don't run calculations first.

Only artillerymen do that.

Stop changing the subject.

If you look here, the MASTER

is hanging, facing the showers by Gate 2.

The outer wall of the showers

is just outside the Goldilocks Zone.

MR. T WAS STANDING RIGHT IN THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE

-I have something to say. -[Mr. X, MASTER] Go on.

I'll tell you what time I fired my gun.

I pulled the trigger once too.

We saw you about to shoot, but you didn't.

[Ms. H] I heard the gunshot at 00:30,

and I fired my gun at almost exactly the same time.

DID MS. H FIRE THE FINAL GUNSHOT?

CASE TIMELINE FOURTH ROUND OF GUNSHOTS AT 00:30

Why did you fire? At what?

I didn't aim it at anyone, I was just startled

-and took a shot. -Where were you?

[Ms. H] I was by Gate 4.

[Mr. X] Oh, you were close to me.

I don't believe Ms. H because…

You fired into the air?

I fired as soon as I heard the gunshot because I was so startled.

-I'll confess something. -Go on.

None of you are even close to catching the culprit,

and we're several rounds in, so I'll share this.

I got sentenced 12 years, right?

I actually planned to kill the MASTER.

-Right. -Because my life was over.

So I did plan to kill him.

The reason was because the MASTER

pinned his own crimes on me, hence the long sentence.

That's why I got a harsher sentence than I deserved.

I ended up taking way too much of the blame.

So I had a grudge and planned to kill him.

I had it all planned out.

So I did shoot, but I missed.

I did the calculations and I fired my gun by the showers,

but I messed up because of my inexperience.

The fact that I did the math first

is proof that I'm a lousy shot.

-And handguns aren't all that accurate. -That's true.

[Mr. T] I fired my gun

around the same time Ms. H says she fired hers.

MR. T AND MS. H WERE IN THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE

Did you really fire into the air?

-Yeah. I really did. -I shot the air too.

You said you missed.

If that's true,

Mr. X is the only one who could have killed

-after that. -Why's that?

The bloodstain on the window must mean the shooter was inside.

-I think that's the only explanation. -[Mr. P] But the four gunshots

were fired before 00:21.

[the MASTER] Four bullets were fired first…

CASE TIMELINE SECOND ROUND OF SHOTS

He fired the four bullets then.

He must've killed my brother

when he first saw him.

No.

We saw four bullet marks in the wall

and I explained my route earlier.

It took around 30 minutes to walk around the prison like this.

Were you looking for an extra gun by any chance?

The extra gun was in your possession.

THERE WAS ANOTHER GUN IN THE LABYRINTH?

I'll take one from Mr. L.

DURING ROUND 1

FIREARM ISSUANCE LOG

NONE OF THE RECOVERED GUNS MATCHED THE SERIAL NUMBER ISSUED TO MR. L

HE SAW THAT MR. L'S GUN HAD A DIFFERENT SERIAL NUMBER

[gasps]

Oh! You're the MASTER.

FIGURED OUT HE WAS THE MASTER AND NOT MR. L

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DECEASED MR. L'S GUN?

[host] It's time for the private conversations.

I was highly suspicious of Mr. L but--

-You don't think it's him? -[Mr. T] No.

-Okay. -[Mr. T] I think he's telling the truth.

THE MASTER WENT TO THE STORAGE ROOM BETWEEN 00:19 AND 00:36

My prime suspect right now is Ms. H.

-Me too. -It's because…

ME?

The victim died around the time

we both fired our guns.

We can't be sure, but that's the most likely time frame.

I did plan to kill him but I missed.

And since I know it wasn't me…

But here's what I find suspicious.

Did you move around after the four shots?

I was moving around before that,

then I got startled and fired four times,

-then kept circling. -But why?

Because I couldn't find my way.

That's why I circled the entire perimeter before making my way toward the center.

I'm famously bad with directions.

I'm sorry to say this, Mr. X,

-but I don't think it's you. -Thank you.

I think we can exclude you from this discussion.

I don't want to be excluded.

I don't mean you should stay out of the discussion,

just that we can rule you out

of the list of suspects.

I find it a bit odd that Mr. X shot the wall four times.

I find it hard to believe that he was just startled.

-[Mr. P] It doesn't add up. -Yeah, that's a bit…

But by that logic, you're the worst offender.

-Nothing you say adds up. -Okay.

-Whether you're the culprit or not, -[the MASTER] Yes?

do better in the real world, even if you can shut down airports,

no matter how many fans you have around the world,

you shouldn't live like that.

-Thank you. That's good advice. -You've got to be credible.

You just keep changing your story.

GETTING SCOLDED A LOT TODAY

Anyway, for whatever reason, he shot four bullets.

But in the case of Mr. T,

I noticed his eyes in the CCTV footage.

He looked like he was ready to kill.

You're telling me he didn't even see where the bullet landed?

I can't make heads or tails of it.

Should we call Mr. T over?

-Yes, let's get Mr. T. -I'll go get him.

You put your thinking cap on.

Okay, I'll have a think.

Mr. T, do you have a minute?

-[Mr. T] Me? -[Mr. P] Yes.

[Mr. T] I actually wanted to talk to Mr. L anyway.

-He's the MASTER, not Mr. L. -Right, the MASTER.

-Hello. -Hey.

-You said you missed. -Yes.

-But you did try to shoot the MASTER. -I did.

-I was trying to kill him. -[the MASTER] Yeah.

You killed him?

No, I didn't kill him. [laughs]

-I attempted to. -Oh, you tried.

There aren't enough chairs.

-It's okay. I'll get up. -No, sit down. It's fine.

A CONSIDERATE GROUP OF CRIMINALS

Based on the timeline, you moved way too quickly.

-You're basically Quicksilver. -No, I moved the slowest.

No, you're Quicksilver. You zoomed around.

I'm the youngest here.

I'm 22 years old, and I was a K-pop trainee.

They make you dance five hours a day, so running is no problem.

Still, no one can move that quickly.

I'm of two minds right now,

because I want to believe you shot four bullets by accident.

You saw there were four bullets in the wall.

It's not like I fired whenever someone passed by,

as if checking them off one by one.

"Oh, look. There's Mr. P." Bang. That would be silly.

-Yeah, it was consecutive. -[Mr. X] Yeah.

It is whatever you make of it.

But you moved back and forth so much,

-so the timeline-- -I went all around the prison.

Yeah, so I just wanted to check that timeline.

I'm only telling this to you…

-Yes? -…but I don't suspect you.

-My main suspect is Mr. T. -Why's that?

He did the math before he pulled the trigger.

He said that was proof he was a lousy shot,

but if that were true, he'd have fired more than once like you.

That's true.

The fact that he did the math means

he knew exactly what to calculate and how.

-He also got the longest sentence. -[Mr. X] He did.

[Ms. H] I think that means he was guilty on many fronts.

When you had the gun in one hand, what was the note in the other?

Do you remember I mentioned a password earlier?

-Yeah. -Actually, it was the Pythagorean Theorem.

From the showers, you must shoot diagonally at the control tower.

It's the formula to figure out that diagonal length.

THE NOTE HAD CALCULATIONS OF THE SHOOTING DISTANCE

I was trying to kill him and I had a motive.

But I missed. So I actually wanted

to talk to the MASTER a bit more

because I think Ms. H is really suspicious.

Mr. L died around the time

I fired my gun.

I'm almost certain it was at 00:30.

-You're right. -Yeah.

And the two people who fired at that time were me and Ms. H.

I told you I missed, so it had to be Ms. H.

Earlier, she said

she shot at the air because she was startled,

but I don't think that adds up.

I suspected the MASTER at first.

-I thought he killed him then went back. -[Mr. P] Me too.

But now I'm certain that Mr. L died at 00:30.

CASE TIMELINE FOURTH ROUND OF GUNSHOTS AT 00:30

So from your point of view, the two prime suspects

must be me and Ms. H.

I'm dead certain it's Ms. H.

That's what I think because I know it isn't me.

Gosh, that means Ms. H is a scary lady.

[Mr. T] That's just my opinion.

ROUND 4 CARD CLUES

SERVER SYSTEM LOG, VOICEMAIL, APPEAL DISMISSAL

COURT JUDGMENT, MATERIALS STORED IN CABINET

[host] The final shared clue

is the control tower glass fragment analysis report.

[Mr. T] So the glass was bulletproof.

The Goldilocks Zone is between 25 m to 50 m.

If the MASTER was shot to death,

it had to be one of the two bullets that were fired at 00:30.

-One of the two. -Then it had to be Mr. T or Ms. H

-if it was 00:30. -Let me just say this.

As I tried to explain before we got this clue,

I'm certain Ms. H is the culprit.

-Why? -[Mr. T] She lied about her gunshot.

We've now established that Mr. L died at around 00:30.

We're the two people who fired at that time.

But my bullet missed the mark,

so that leaves Ms. H.

-But my file says I shot into the air too. -You're lying.

What if there was a surprising twist?

The MASTER tied him up, right?

-[Ms. H] Yeah. -After injuring him.

What if Mr. P sprinted to the control tower,

flung the door open, and beat him to death with his fists?

Who, me? Did you bump your head or something?

-Couldn't that be it? -[Mr. T] We saw earlier--

It says he was shot to death. What are you on about fists?

Where did you shoot from, Ms. H?

I'm a bit baffled because it doesn't say here

that I shot anyone.

It says I shot into the air.

Well, we can't check your file to see if that's true…

-Right. -…so we can't believe you.

I'm just surprised we suddenly narrowed it down to two suspects.

It's just my opinion.

Why don't the three of us just go over there and drink coffee

while the two of you reach a compromise.

Or just play rock paper scissors.

I'm not willing to compromise

because I'm certain it's Ms. H.

IS THE CULPRIT MR. T OR MS. H?

Why did you kill him, Ms. H?

How will you make money after you escape?

I think it was Mr. T.

-We're in the same situation. -Why did you kill him? Why did you lie?

This doesn't make any sense.

Why am I the one under suspicion?

-That's just how life is. -[Mr. T laughing]

-It can be unfair and frustrating. -[Ms. H] But we--

I didn't expect this from you, Ms. H.

Let's leave the case unresolved

and go get dinner.

IS THIS HOW IT ENDS?

-No one's owning up. -[Ms. H] This is hard.

-Shall we vote on the menu? -Sure. What should we eat?

-Pork belly! -[Ms. H] Pork belly, of course.

At 00:35, Mr. X and I

faced each other at gunpoint.

-[Mr. X] Inside the control tower. -When was this?

-[Ms. H] At 00:35. -In the control tower?

-Why? -This is new information.

-So I-- -I'll explain.

It says here I arrived first at 00:32, right?

I saw that the MASTER was dead

-and realized there was a traitor… -[gasps]

…so I pulled my gun out and stood on guard.

That's when Ms. H suddenly appeared.

So I was like, "What the heck?"

"I'm going to shoot!" That's what happened.

MR. X AND MS. H HAD A STANDOFF IN THE CONTROL TOWER AT 00:35

CASE TIMELINE MS. H ARRIVED AT 00:35

Tell us what you were doing between 00:25 and 00:35.

-Yeah, tell us again. -Sure.

-Then can we hear everyone's alibis? -You go first.

I'll tell you in detail.

I headed to the showers at 00:15.

I heard the second round of gunshots at 00:21.

-That was me. -[Mr. T] It was Mr. X firing four times.

Between 00:21 and 00:23…

-[Mr. X] You were doing the math? -[Mr. T] Yes, I was looking at the note

and I did take a shot

-from what is the Goldilocks Zone. -[Mr. X] Okay.

I did pull the trigger.

But as I said earlier, needing a formula

as I'm such a lousy shot, I missed.

As soon as I fired, I heard another gunshot.

I'm assuming it was Ms. H's gun.

I arrived at the control tower at 00:45.

Three people were already there.

There were three people at 00:45.

That must have been me and--

Me and Ms. H.

CASE TIMELINE MR. T ARRIVED AT 00:45

When did you arrive, Mr. P?

Good question.

Walk us through--

Don't flash your file around.

A MAN WITHOUT ANY SECRETS

[Mr. P] I got there at 00:55.

Four people were there already.

-[Mr. T] So you were the last to arrive. -Yeah, I got there last.

It took me 32 minutes to circle the entire prison.

So what on earth were you doing that it took you 55 minutes?

Oh, yeah.

I'm not one to run even if I'm in a real hurry.

Oh, you walked?

I'm a country boy.

So even when the clock is ticking, I move at a leisurely pace.

HE HAD TO COLLECT THE INVESTIGATION RECORDS

AND NEEDED TO TAKE DOWN ALL THE MEMBERS

SO HE ARRIVED AT THE CONTROL TOWER LAST

There's a note that I didn't disclose before.

This is Mr. X's mobile phone.

It shows he held a grudge against the boss.

I think you should all take a look.

-[Mr. T] He has motive too. -[Ms. H] Yes, a very clear motive.

-But the motive doesn't matter. -[the MASTER] He's right.

-We all had a reasonable motive. -[Ms. H] Yeah.

-What matters is our whereabouts at 00:30. -[Mr. T] Yeah.

We need to find the killer,

and he died at 00:30…

00:30 is right, isn't it?

That's when Mr. L died.

We all believe he fired those four shots, right?

So we can strike Mr. X off the list.

As for Mr. P and the MASTER,

we saw proof that the MASTER saw Mr. L alive before 00:30,

and there's physical evidence proving Mr. P's alibi.

So our focus should be on whether the victim

was shot by me or Ms. H.

It had to be one our bullets. It's the only explanation.

But that's only if he was shot from the outside.

What? He was shot from inside the tower?

I think whoever shot him would have left and come back later,

-as if it was their first time entering. -Exactly.

It's like when you play Among Us, you kill then run like hell.

I agree. Someone lied earlier.

They went to the control tower twice and killed Mr. L the first time.

[Mr. P] Yes, it's from the inside.

So someone shot him at 00:30, left the tower, then returned at 00:45?

That's the most likely…

I think that would be too difficult to pull off.

What's difficult about it? Shoot, leave, and come back in.

Who do you think is guilty, Mr. L?

I think Mr. X.

To start with, Mr. X found the body first.

-Why are you suddenly accusing Mr. X? -[Mr. T] It can't be Mr. X.

I think it is Mr. X.

-You said you had a standoff. -[Mr. X] Yeah.

[the MASTER] The person who was in the tower at 00:30 was Mr. X.

Why did you do it, Mr. X?

I didn't.

He says it's not him, so there you go.

The fact that he fired so many shots and where they landed--

The consecutive shots are a lie?

The evidence points to four rapid shots, but it doesn't sit right with me.

I think he fired those four shots to shake off suspicion

and used another gun to…

The fact that he is bringing up another gun…

-He went to find another gun. -…suggests that Mr. L…

No, the MASTER had another gun.

[Mr. T] Let me just say this.

If he had used another gun, we'd have found evidence

proving there was another gun with X amount of bullets remaining.

But there's no such evidence,

so I think we can dismiss that theory.

What matters most right now is the direction you shot from.

If we can't determine the direction Mr. X was shooting from,

the most plausible scenario is that Ms. H is lying.

-[Mr. X] Can I share my theory? -But I'm not lying.

Mr. T and I have the exact same alibis,

but he keeps accusing me.

So I think it's him

since he keeps trying to pin it on me.

It's a very risky move to rule out everyone else

and say that it can't be me, so it must be them.

To everyone else, it's a fifty-fifty toss-up.

So I made a big gamble.

If the shot was fired inside, we would have heard it.

But we heard all the gunshots,

and the CCTV confirmed the shooters, locations, and times.

Something's not clicking

because the culprit has no choice but to lie,

-so that's what they're doing. -Right.

[Mr. T] And we believed them, which is why it's not making sense.

And I think the liar is Ms. H.

Mr. L was alive between the first and second round of shots.

And the gunshot at 00:25 was aimed at the cabinet.

We know he was shot to death,

so it had to be between the fourth and fifth rounds of fire.

Then it really must be me.

[host] The final round is over.

Please make your closing arguments.

I was ruled out as a suspect from the very start,

so I'm really happy about that.

I'm confident the shot was fired from the inside

because I doubt anyone could aim accurately from such a distance.

If the shooter was outside, only the victim would know their location,

but if the shooter was inside,

they would very likely run into someone while fleeing the scene.

I don't think the shooter would take that risk.

I think it was Ms. H.

We saw her lowering her gun in the CCTV footage.

She just couldn't get a clear shot from the dining hall.

So she sprinted to the tower, killed him, and left.

That's why the culprit is you.

-[in English] Goodbye! -[Ms. H, in Korean] Am I the killer?

If we go by what Mr. T said,

it has to be me or Mr. T.

We both think the other did it.

Our alibis our similar, but one of us is the culprit?

I don't think that adds up.

I think Mr. X did it.

I find it really suspicious that he moved around so much.

And shooting four times in a row is such a foolish thing to do.

Ms. H insists she shot into the air because she was startled,

but that's a lie.

She fired the shot that killed Mr. L.

I think that's the only plausible explanation.

Ms. H is the culprit.

VOTING COMPLETE

[host] Here are the voting results.

The MASTER got zero votes.

Mr. P got zero votes.

Mr. T got zero votes.

Ms. H got two votes.

Mr. X got three votes.

Mr. X got the most votes.

-[exclaims] -[Ms. H exclaims]

You people are dense!

[host] The selected player shall open the ending box bearing their number

and read the ending scenario aloud.

I have a feeling it's not Mr. X.

"He's a scapegoat."

"You failed to catch the culprit."

"The other members' key secrets were kept hidden to the end."

"The escape plan, revolvers, and scapegoat were decided from the start."

"Someone has to take the fall."

"Now, he gets what they meant by that."

"Mr. X eventually gets arrested."

"The investigation record stated

he was a low-level operative who fired in a panic

while trying to escape."

"Mr. T quietly slipped away,

with no one catching on that he was the shooter…"

THE CULPRIT WAS MR. T

"With no one catching on that he was the shooter…"

[laughs]

Ah, damn it.

-She cursed! [laughs] -[Mr. P laughing]

IT JUST SLIPPED OUT

I got chills.

CHILLING

[Mr. X] "After securing part of the funds, he fled overseas."

Mr. T fled overseas?

Mr. Take-off.

"Mr. L's identity was never revealed.

He watched it all play out from a distance.

After cutting loose one of their own, he quietly planned his next move."

[Mr. P] Gosh, what a scary guy.

"Ms. H quickly got her cards in order."

"She didn't get to be a queen, but she stayed in the game."

[Mr. T] She wanted to become a female boss.

"Mr. P's ending."

"With Mr. X convicted as the culprit,

his ten-year undercover operation was deemed a failure."

[gasps]

[Mr. X] "The organization was exposed, but the true masterminds got away."

-Oh, you were an undercover cop. -[Mr. P] I was undercover.

My wife was a victim

-of this kind of phishing scam… -[gasps]

…so I wanted to take you all down.

I told you earlier that someone was lying.

That was me.

I said I missed because I got nervous.

That was the lie.

I didn't miss.

Yeah, I told you it wasn't me!

-What does it matter now? -I mean,

I couldn't confess that I was the killer.

Hey, this is pretty major.

Because this log is just

the ledger of the money we made from our scam.

-That's all it is. You need to see this. -Okay.

Yeah, that's when I zoned out.

It really doesn't say what I did.

PRETENDED TO LACK INFO

But as I said earlier, needing a formula

as I'm such a lousy shot, I missed.

We barely have any clues about Mr. T.

[Mr. P] I know, Mr. T…

THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE

Oh, I think I know what that is.

[Ms. H] What's that?

[the MASTER] It was some kind of formula.

MR. T WAS IN A PICKLE

I think Faker is on to me.

He looked at me suspiciously.

I thought I'd been caught for sure.

I don't have a very good poker face.

We didn't catch the culprit last time.

-You don't need to today. -Why not?

-Because you're the culprit. -Why me? [chuckles]

You traitor. [chuckles]

What are you on about?

I thought I was caught,

but I think my strategy of putting the spotlight on Ms. H

was a really effective move.

Where did you shoot from, Ms. H?

Why did you kill him, Ms. H?

Why did you lie?

Why am I the one under suspicion?

[Mr. T laughs]

[Mr. P] That's just how life is.

He shared so many clues

that it threw me off his tail.

I was so sure the shot was fired from inside

that I ruled him out.

I'm confident the shot was fired from the inside.

KNOWINGLY SHAKING HIS HEAD

Mr. T played it well.

We were in the same boat

but he turned all the focus to me, so fair play to him.

I started doubting myself!

That's how convincing his act was.

You're so annoying.

-You cleverly got away with it. -[laughs]

I dropped a lot of hints. I really did.

I feel like we were so close.

-This game is really hard. -[Mr. P] It's so hard.

I think this was the hardest one yet.

Even though I'm the culprit, I thought,

"Wait. Did someone else do it?"

-[laughing] -Seriously, I started doubting it was me.

FINAL THOUGHTS

It's such a fun program,

and playing the game with such smart, young people

has made me feel 20 years younger.

It was a really meaningful experience.

I hope after watching the last episode,

the takeaway will be

that scammers don't get a happy ending.

-We're all scammers, right? -Yeah.

I hope all scammers get locked up.

I've never really played board games before,

especially a game like this one

that's so immersive and high-quality.

I had so much fun that the time just flew by.

And I really enjoyed getting to play with such great people.

I also really enjoyed getting to play a board game like this.

I was determined to solve a lot of mysteries,

so I'm a bit disappointed I didn't do that well.

But everyone really gave it their all,

so I had a really fun time.

I thought I was the best at this game,

but…

The more we find out, the more I realize I'm the worst at it.

It was an eye-opening experience for me.

And it was an honor to play with such distinguished people.

Thank you.

-Great job, everyone. -All right.

-Good job. -Great job.

-Good work. -Good job.
