Hello, hello, welcome back to Todai's baking a mystery.
Today's baking a mystery has been highly requested by one person and I took that request to heart.
I put it in my butt, I slept on it and I was like, you know what, that feels good. I think I'm gonna do that one. So today we are doing the South
Korean movie called The Vanished. I think it's important to note that The Vanished was actually
inspired and pretty much a remake just in Korean of the Spanish psychological thriller film called
The Body. Now speaking of The Body, I want to talk about my body for a second because well, okay, actually let me give you a snippet of what today's story entails because I know,
I know some of you guys are interested in stuff like this and I know some of you guys are
going to be very scared of stuff like this. But essentially it takes place in a morgue where
there is a woman who has recently passed away and before the autopsy can be performed on this
woman, she disappears. Her body has been stolen from the morgue or has it been.
A morgue you say?
So today's movie takes place at the morgue.
Opening scene, we're at a morgue
and it's literally exactly what you expect from a morgue.
The lights are flickering.
The security guard is playing some old school Korean music.
He looks like he's not into his job.
It's quiet. You could hear a
pen drop and that is what we're thrust into in the middle or in the beginning of today's movie.
So we're in the morgue. We're seeing all of these things. You see these drawers, like these steel drawers
just filled with dead bodies and that's cool and they're all like zipped up in these like, I want to say
trash bags, like these bags, okay? See, plug bags.
And one of the names that stands out
is a name by the name of Yoon's Honey or something,
but we're gonna call her Veronica,
because Veronica is named in the video,
like they call her Veronica, her English name.
So today's video is about Veronica.
And so she is the deceased person.
Her name is on one of those drawers,
and it's like a close up.
So you're like, okay,
this person's gonna be pertinent to the story.
And then we go to the security guard and he's just listening to music.
And then of course, all of a sudden, just as you would expected,
the security monitors, they blow out.
They're gone.
All of the security feeds that were on his computer,
the guard's computer, finito, done, gone.
And then the lights start flickering.
So the security guard, of course, he has no choice.
He's gotta go do his job. He's gotta guard the place, so he grabs his little flashlight and he
starts walking down the halls of this morgue, shining his flashlight at different hallways,
trying to figure out why is the electricity out? What's going on? And that's when he opens the door
to the wall of steel containers and one of of them is open, and it's empty.
A dead body's gone.
So then he goes back into the hallway,
and he's trying to fix the electricity
when we kind of see a glimpse
of someone walking past him, okay?
We don't necessarily exactly get to see
who this person is or anything,
but just like kind of a faint glimpse.
And then he turns around,
and he's getting a little bit scared,
but he still doesn't run away. I mean, the dude is dedicated. I would have been running at this point
And he's just looking around still trying to fake stuff
He realizes that the generator is broken and then all of a sudden as he's walking around the generator starts up again
And then he's like okay, well, I guess I'll like go back to my desk and as he's making his way back
He sees a glimpse of what seems to be a woman just
like in his peripheral vision. And then the lights turn off again. So then this is the
point where he starts freaking out because he saw some shit, okay? He saw someone so
he's like, oh hell no, that door was empty. There was a woman I think. And so he starts
running. He's trying to open the door to one of the offices and it's freaking locked And then the camera pans from inside the office and we only get to see shadows through the window of the office
And we see him get bonked on the head by a hooded figure and he falls to the ground
And then we get our second scene and
Introducing to you mother-forking John. So this is a Korean man in a full suit
And he's in front
of a mirror and he, you know, I noticed that he was putting in his eye drops really peculiarly.
So he's like doing one of those dramatic scenes where he's staring at himself in the mirror
and then he puts eye drops in his eyes, but then he puts it in from this corner of his
eyes and lets it fall like a tear onto his face and I was like, that's really dramatic
dude. But then we realize exactly why he does that because he walks out into his living room where we get this really grim feeling of obviously he just
knew someone that passed and it's probably his wife because we get a lot of
like wedding photos in his house and we've got all of these people that are all
dressed in black that come up to him and they just say it's okay like just get
some rest and one by one they leave the apartment. There's a self-playing
piano in the corner. I mean the dude's is rich okay. So we find out that his wife is the one
who died and it's the empty drawer in the morgue. So it's just like a weird chitchat show already
happening. Then we're thrust into his porch because they're like hey if you didn't already know by
the by the way I looked it up because I was curious and like a Steinway piano
that self-playing costs like 200 grand.
What?
A non-self-playing?
The bitches that you gotta play yourself are like a hundred grand.
But the ones that are like self-playing are like 160 grand.
And I was like, wow.
So with like that dinner already tell you he is rich we're gonna be in his
Porsche and he's gonna be zooming down the streets of South Korea in his Porsche
Skr Skr and I'm like how are you Skr Skr I've been to Korea it's back to back traffic all day all night
How are you Skr Skr but he's Skr Skr through the roads of South Korea and we're just like whoa okay rich dude calm your tits
Okay, so he seems sad or is he? And then we get thrust back into
the morgue. Now all of these, we've got three police officers, one female, two males, they're
all detectives. I don't know their names, they're not that pertinent to the story, okay? And so
they're sitting there drinking coffee and they're just talking their captain, they're
talking their boss. And so two of them are like, you know what? I don't even know how he's
our captain. He honestly sucks at his job. How can he not even pick up his phone right now how can he be late right isn't he supposed to be on
call right now and then one of them is saying listen he's actually a really good captain like he's
he's pretty good and they're like no like I heard he used to be good until until that thing happened
I heard he used to be so good that he cracked one of the most unsolved cases in South Korea
he actually met the freaking president and the president of Korea gave him an award.
But I bet you, I bet you, he got to turn back in that award because he sucks at his job
these days.
And one of them is like defending the captain to the death like no, our captain is a smart
intelligent and then we hear skrr skrr outside and the captain pulls in and he
reverses into a metal trash bin and the dude's like that's our captain and he
walks in he looks drunk he's I mean I can smell him through the screen okay he
looks like a weird dude and he's like sorry guys I didn't know my phone was
ringing it was a bit it was a bit day he's like catch me up on the case so they're
walking through the morgue and they're catching him up on the case and they say this security guard. I don't know
I feel like we should bring him to the hospital. He was the witness in the whole case
He's nothing electricity went out and he hid his head
He claims that he's been working here for four years and none of this stuff has really happened in this morgue before
It's a government owned morgue
So I don't know what the issue is and he thinks thinks there was a break in. I'm not really sure.
Now the whole time the captain, he's got this crazy hair.
He honestly looks like the main character of Old Boy.
Like that's how crazy he looks.
And he's just drinking a juice, like a bagged juice.
While the police detectives are catching him up
on the case that he's supposed to be working.
And they're just like, yeah,
but you know, they're a little paranoid here
at this more of the security guards.
They said that they start developing anxiety even at night when the phone rings, they'll
like, sh** themselves at the security desk, you know, because it's so scary.
Like at a morgue, the phone rings in the middle of the night, you're bad to be scared.
So he thought he saw a ghost or something?
I don't know.
Do you want to talk to him?
And the captain looks at the detective and is like, the ghost?
Um, no, the security officer. It seems like the ghost? No, the security officer.
It seems like the captain's a bit of a troll.
So the case goes something like this.
There's no CCTV footage.
It went out with the main generators.
There wasn't any footage of there.
If there actually was a break in,
they do know that there is a dead body missing
and there is only one body missing.
None of the other bodies were touched.
And I mean, he saw a ghost.
He alleges he saw a ghost. he alleges, he saw a ghost.
We don't really know.
The doors were all locked, no windows were open,
and no other doors, windows, anywhere in the morgue
are viable enough for an exit or an entry
by a full-sized human, like maybe a kid, maybe a dog,
but definitely not a full-sized human.
And it's, I mean, it's just weird.
So then the captain's like, okay, well,
who's the stolen body? Veronica, she's 45 years old, she's actually the daughter of a Tibor family and
what that means is like in Korea, Tibor means like imagine Jeff Bezos' kids. But then in Korea it's
a little bit different because like to my knowledge the billionaires don't really pledge their money away
so like you know how Bill Gates is like I'm only gonna keep a hundred million dollars for my family.
Don't worry, I'm donating the rest to charity, which by the way, I'm not complaining about that.
But then like, it creates a little bit different because it's like generational.
So, they just like keep the money in the family.
I'm sure there's a lot of American families like that too, right?
But we have a name for it. They're called Tibor, right?
Like old money.
Like old, old money.
So, she is the daughter,
aress of this old money family. And she is now the CEO of
Baron Pharmacy, which was owned for generations. It's one of
the biggest pharmacies in South Korea, allegedly. And she is
the CEO of that and she was dead. And now her body has been
taken. Her husband is by the name of John. And he also works for
the company. He was a professor
before he became like a I think he does both. So he's like a part-time professor, part-time works
for Baron Pharmacy. He's really smart allegedly so he does a lot of research in pharmaceuticals.
He's really sad. They're kind of like a power couple so their wedding was like the royal wedding
of South Korea. Everybody knew about it. It was like the biggest thing ever. They're like an elite family.
He came from a pretty well-off family too.
So they just like married into just like,
shmoney, it was just money everywhere.
You know, one of those situations.
And the captain's like, I know exactly
what you're talking about.
And he's like, yeah, well, I mean,
she died of a heart attack.
We haven't been able to do an autopsy
until the body was taken.
So, I mean, that's kind of what it is. She was 45, had hard attacks. So the captain's like, well, I
want you to bring in the husband to the morgue and we gotta let him know what happened.
So you want us to call the husband, John? Yeah, get him into the morgue.
He's not really like a reachable person. Like he's like imagine being like,
okay, call the CEO of Facebook and get them into the morgue.
Like, that's not, it's gonna be a little harder
than that, Captain.
So he's like, well, we can get him in, okay?
And then he goes outside, he's like smoking cigarettes,
and you're just like, this is the dude, that's on the case.
Like, you're, I mean, I don't know how politics work,
but it's like a 45 year old CEO went missing her dead body her corpses
MIA, I feel like they probably call in the FBI
But then you got this captain who's like it'll be fine. It's gonna be okay. Call in the dude. What's this day? Yeah, whatever
Call him in what so then we cut to where John is and this is where he's gonna get the phone call now John is actually at
His you guessed it John can't keep his John in his pants at his, you guessed it, John can't keep his, John in his pants at his
mistress's house. And he starts asking the mistress about things about like how
she's feeling, you know, he asked her for a glass of water and they start making
out on the couch. And then he's like, well, so how are you feeling? And she's like,
oh, well, I don't really feel any symptoms yet. It's only been seven weeks. It's
implied that she's pregnant. So now we've got a lot of motives. My true crime brain was going ding ding ding
Motherforkin' John and so she's like, you know, it's only been seven weeks and then as she's like getting water for him
She calls him something name. So you're like wow, okay, so this is probably one of her students. She his students
She looks a lot younger than him and it's oh god, it's just gonna be a show now, huh?
So then that's when John gets the call
from the police station and they're like, listen,
ah, the corpse is missing,
you need to come to the morgue and they tell him over the phone.
So he freaks out, he hangs up and he asks his mistress
for a, like, a pack of Advil.
And she's like, why?
And he's like, just, just give it to me.
And so he grabs the pack of Advil, he says, don't leave the house, don't pick up any calls,
like don't do anything, something feels weird.
And then he was like, I'll be right back.
And he leaves and he speeds off in his portion,
it's raining.
Now, he notices immediately that there's a sticker
on his windshield.
So he stops in the middle of the road to peel that sticker off.
So I guess in Korea, they don't give you parking tickets.
Like, you know how if you get a parking ticket
you get like a piece of paper in your dash, but maybe they like throw it away and be like, I didn't say anything.
Maybe someone walked by and throw it away, you know. So they like stick it on your windshield or this parking officer was just
nass and stuck a full sticker on his windshield, but it feels normal, okay. So it's a parking sticker. And so it's a fine.
So he's peeling it off in the rain, then he gets back into the car and he starts driving and that's where we get our first flashback.
So we have a flashback to him talking to his wife Veronica when she was alive. And we see John
putting a substance into her red wine glass before she comes home. And she just got back from like a
business trip to the US and she's like, oh, like, I think I need something stronger than wine.
It's been a rough trip. And he's like, no,'s like no no no trust me I just picked out this bottle myself
and I think it's it's gonna be your taste and so she's holding it and the whole time that they're
having this conversation she's just taking sniffs of it but never drinking it so it's just so
weird like there's just so much tension and you can kind of tell that this isn't really a loving relationship She does look older than him. She is definitely a lot more
She's also aura about her like she's got a presence and he seems a little bit meek and the whole time
You know she seems really suspicious of him
She's like you've been seeing your mom a lot recently even though you say that you're so busy with teaching and everything going on with the new drug development
And he was just like well, she's sick. so that's why. And he talked about how she had fired his
assistant and why she had done that and like, why didn't you talk to me first? Like this affects
me too, right? And she said, because it's my company. And then that's where you get a little
bit of tension of like, yeah, you're like, go power, you tell them,
be it, you would pay Loma. And then so he's like, oh yeah, you're right, like, I'll never
bring it up again. And he seems really mad, but he's saying it and like, like, he's scared
of her almost. And so he's like, you're right, you're right, like, that was my bad, my bad
for even bringing this up to your attention, right? And then she's also like, hey, why don't
you just skip your lecture and we'll go take a walk.
Like it's a nice outside. And he gets really upset. He's like, what do you mean skip my class?
Like, do you think what I do for a living is a joke? Like, is this a joke to you? And she's like,
I think it's really cute when you get mad. And so everything is really demeaning. Like, she doesn't
take anything he does seriously. It's almost like everything about him is just like, haha funny, like not, I mean I can kind of see it,
like she's running this fucking massive fortune 500 company and he's like, I
gotta go teach my class, right? I get it but I don't, like she's just really rude.
And so you can tell it's not a loving relationship and she's like, it's okay and
she like pets his head and then she, she's like, well's okay, and she like pets his head. And then she, he's like, well, I gotta go,
just rest and drink your wine.
So she takes a sip of the wine,
and then she looks at him, and he looks at her,
and he's nervous, and she looks mad for a second.
And then she looks at him and says, you're right,
it's just my taste.
And then downs the whole glass of wine
while maintaining eye contact with him.
And he just smiles and he's like feeling relieved
and he walks away.
That was the flashback.
So he gets to the morgue and he gets out of his car.
We get like a whole dramatic opening the door
of the Porsche simple flavor, favor,
what do you call it, the umbrella, dramatic scene, okay?
In the rain. And he walks in and they get him into like the bottom of the morgue right next to where the
bodies are. So the bodies are in this room and there's like this interrogation window almost
where you can see into that room. And then there's like a desk here with a bunch of like
office stuff here. So it's kind of connected. There's a door in between that you can connect the two.
And so he's sitting there the
The captain looks like he's just there for lunch like he's just like hey, what's happening? I mean sits down and the police are trying to tell him like her body is missing and of course John is not reacting well to this
Like he's kind of pissed off. He's like what the fuck do you mean like her corpse is missing like that doesn't even make sense
This is a morgue isn't it like what are you talking about? And they're like, I know, I know.
We're really sorry about this.
Like, we're trying to get to the bottom of this.
And like, you can tell that the police are scared of him
because one of the detectives kept saying,
just to clarify, like, we're just investigating.
We didn't lose the corpse.
We're just investigating the missing corpse, you know?
Like, he's trying to be like,
our police station, please, we have,
we're not, we weren't in charge of making sure that the corpse
Don't get stolen. We're just trying to help you, you know
So they're very scared of him meanwhile the captain's just sitting on the side like
Looking around just doing his thing like literally doesn't even get hurt
So during this initial conversation John's phone rings multiple times because Heather is calling and oh by the way
Heather is as mistress of course her name is gonna be Heather in this one
Okay, and Heather keeps calling Heather keeps texting the way, Heather is mistress. Of course her name is gonna be Heather in this one, okay?
And Heather keeps calling, Heather keeps texting,
he keeps quieting his phone.
It doesn't seem like anybody really notices,
but it's just kind of like,
if you should be a little bit more careful, John,
you should be a little bit smarter,
motherfucker, John,
kind of so mad at him for some reason.
And so Heather keeps texting.
And the police are just saying like,
oh by the way, he starts smoking cigarettes inside the morgue,
which isn't allowed,
but the police let him because they're scared of him.
And the captain the whole time still hasn't said anything.
And at one point John will actually look over at the captain
and the captain is snoring like in his chair,
he's taking it up because it's nighttime, right?
He's taking a full-on nap.
So he's like, what is this?
So he starts getting mad and he's like,
I wanna talk to your boss. Like, are you guys even, why am I here? Why
are you guys asking me questions? Where is the security here? Where, like, I want to ask
questions. Why are you guys asking me questions right now? And they're saying, listen, we're
trying to get to the bottom of this. Does your wife have any enemies? No, not at all. No
one.
The captain wakes up and the captain says,
what about you, John?
Are you implying that I stole her corpse?
No, no, no, no.
I'm implying maybe you have enemies
and they're trying to get back at you
so they steal your wife's corpse.
Doesn't that kind of sound like it makes sense?
And he's like, no, I don't really have any enemies
and what about the other
corpses, right? Captain's like, well, they weren't really interested in any of the other corpses.
They literally only took your wife. So none of the other drawers were even opened or touched
and most of the zippers. So if they have been recently opened, you can tell and you can't tell.
So it seems like they were really just after your wife. We got to f**ked up people, steal squarpses anyway. Well that's
the interesting thing John. It wasn't people. You would think that it would be
people right? But it wasn't. And then he briskly walks over to the door and he
says listen let me show you guys something. But right next to the morgue door
there is a little scratch mark and he says get this. If there were people, these doors, they open
inward. In the minute that you let go of them, they swing shut and they lock because you need a
passcode to get into here. And they're really, really heavy doors. So if you were, if you were with
a group of people, why would there be a mark on the ground? The mark indicates that they had moved this massive cabinet over to keep the door open.
Yes?
And that's when John likes it and then goes,
exactly, if there were two people, one of them would have just kept the door open
while someone grabbed my wife's body and then would have left instead of moving the cabinet to keep the door open.
Precisely.
So it was one person.
So this is kind of like our glimpse of like maybe
the captain is good at his job. So what he's saying is like there was an
indentation saying that the cabinet right next to the door had been moved to
keep the door open and so they wouldn't have done that if there was multiple
people involved in the crime because why go through all that hassle when someone
could just stand guard at the door and keep the door open that'd be faster
that'd be less suspicious but instead they moved that heavy cabinet
to open the door.
So it seems like it was just the doing of one person.
Now, why would one person
have it out for his wife's corpse?
So then the captain immediately goes,
that's why I think, John,
can I have a cigarette, please?
So John is like, okay,
and he opens his cigarette door and he gives it to him and he takes
a cigarette and you can see that John's hand is shaking a little bit.
And the captain's eyeballs go big.
Oh my god.
There's going to be plot twists though.
I know, I was looking at the same thing.
I was like, easy.
But then, but then plot twists after after plot to it after plot to it.
And then all of a sudden before the captain can say anything, a police officer walks in and says,
hey, the more doctor is here.
And the more doctor would like to ask John a couple of questions.
So they all sit down with the more doctor and she's sitting there and she says, listen,
I just want to get some questions of your wife.
You said that she is a phobia of flying.
Yeah, why does that have to do anything?
And she just got back that day.
So she had died earlier that day.
So she just got back today from the United States and then she died.
And she is a phobia of flying, yes.
Yeah.
And so that's why we probably think it was a heart attack, right?
I mean, I'm not the doctor, you are.
All right, well, does your wife have any history of mental illness?
What does that have anything to do with this? And so she's saying, well, okay, so just to give you some
perspective, I found that she does have records at a psychiatric hospital, but because the records
are sealed, I have no idea what the contents are. I have no idea if she has maybe anxiety
or depression or anything, and that might be pertinent to the case. Why would that be pertinent?
Because she could be taking medication.
John's like, what? Why does that matter? Okay. The more doctors like listen, everyone. It's gonna sound a little crazy, but I have a theory. Have you ever heard something called
Catalepsy? I think your wife might have went into cataleptic shock. It slows the heart rate down
and the lungs down to the point where we think that she's dead,
but she might not actually be dead.
And maybe sometimes mental illness,
like they will prescribe you,
like if you have like depression or things like that,
sometimes they will do the prescribed you things.
Also, I don't know if this is actually true,
it's a fucking movie.
They'll prescribe you things that could send you
possibly, if you react negatively to the medicine
into, you know,
the type of shock and maybe she's not dead and maybe she walked out of here because none of this is making sense.
And typically when people do walk out of their graves or like walk out of their morgue like that, such a rare case,
and usually they're in so much shock that they don't immediately call their loved ones or they don't immediately go to the police or try to figure out what happened.
A lot of the times they will be wandering because they don't understand what happened.
So we kind of suspect maybe that's what's going on.
John's like, are you fucking kidding me?
There's no way!
And he's like, are you employing that my wife's not actually dead?
And she's like, precisely.
So the doctor goes to the three police officers, the detectives,
and the captain, and they go into the next room and they start talking just with them and
John's by himself and she's saying, listen, I know it sounds crazy, but it's really rare.
But because it's rare, we can't completely rule it out. You know, we have to leave everything on
the table and that's when the captain looks at her and goes, we have to leave everything on the
table. The autopsy wasn't done. We have to leave everything on the table. The autopsy wasn't done.
We have to leave everything on the table.
What do they teach you in police school?
Any death is a homicide until you can rule it out.
But because we have no autopsy, we can't rule it out.
So this is a homicide.
And the detectives are like,
sir, you've been drinking a lot.
Like, this isn't a homicide.
Like everyone in Korean knows this woman.
Like no one's trying to kill this lady.
Like she had a heart attack.
Her body's missing.
I know it's the middle of the night.
You want to be creeped out.
The security guard was like, our song goes to now.
You know, the more doctors like she's alive.
It's not a homicide.
Okay.
And he's like, no, no, no, let's think about it though.
Because right now there's no evidence.
But if there was a body, if there wasn't autopsy,
there would be evidence.
So if she can't rule out cataleptic shock,
then we can't rule out a homicide.
Am I right, team?
And they're like, okay, fine.
Let's say it's a homicide.
Who would take her body?
Who would take her body?
Let's say she's dead.
Then it's a homicide.
Who would take her body?
The person who killed her.
Who would kill her? The person who killed her. Who would kill her?
The person who has the most to gain.
This is literally simple police work.
And they all look over and they're like, okay, not John.
Definitely not John.
John's not gonna kill his wife.
Do you know?
Okay, this is common amongst regular folk like us.
You know, we could just kill our significant others,
think we can get away with it.
But it's not happening in their world.
Like, there's no way he would get away with it anyway.
And the police is like, well, I don't know.
Well, think about the way it works in Korea.
The death certificate comes out,
and then you're entitled to life insurance,
and probably most of our assets.
So he does have the most to gain.
So the captain goes back into question, John, and he says, listen, forget about what that
lady says.
Crazy morgue doctors in my right.
Let me just ask you a couple more questions and we'll be done here.
Does your wife have any enemies?
No, I already told you no.
Okay, well, does she have anyone close to her?
Someone who, you know, she, she trust. Maybe her niece, she doesn't
really have a lot of friends. Okay, well, was she having enough hair? No, how would you
know though if she's having an affair? So definitively. Because she's my wife, I, I, she's not
having an affair. Okay, we're wearing you tonight.
We called your house first and you didn't pick up before we called your cell phone.
Why are you asking me where I was tonight?
Oh my god, are you guys serious?
I want to talk to your boss, captain, because why were you questioned?
I was at the fucking pharmacy, okay?
My head was hurting.
My wife died today.
Now I'm getting questioned at a freaking morgue,
I was at the pharmacy buying Advil.
Oh really?
I'd love to see the Advil.
Okay, he reaches into a suit pocket and pulls out an Advil.
Are you f**king happy now?
I got some Advil.
Oh, well, you must have been at the pharmacy
a really long time.
Because I walked over to your car just to make sure,
and I found a little piece of your parking ticket.
Was that from today?
Because it was reading, so it probably is from today.
Were you there a long time?
So then at this point, John's getting really viled up.
He's like, I'm the one that lost my wife.
I'm the one that lost my loved one.
Why are you question, where's your boss?
I wanna talk to you, but I wanna get my lawyer.
Get my lawyer on the phone.
And so then this is when they just leave the room
to let him call his attorney
and all of them go and grab coffee.
So like they have like the vending machines
of coffee in the morgue, so they're just drinking coffee.
And the captain is talking to the morgue doctor
and he's just saying, no, that dude's weird.
I know something's wrong with that guy.
And the lady's like, no, no, I mean,
it's just everyone reacts to shock differently.
And he's saying, you literally just told him
that his wife might be alive.
Did you see him even a little excited?
Did you see him even a little happy at the chance?
And she's like, no, listen,
you can't just like put a label on shock because
you just don't understand if you don't... I'm sorry, I don't know why... it must have slipped my mind,
I'm sorry, I... you know what I meant right? And so this is kind of when we get the inkling that
he probably lost someone, the captain, and this is why she was like, you don't understand when people lose people, and then she's like, oh, fuck, like, I'm
sorry, I don't know why I just said that.
Obviously, you know what I meant.
And then that's when the conversation changes to listen.
If you ever need to talk to someone, like, we're here for you.
So this is a government run or more, so it seems like they work really close to each other.
So then at this point, he's like, it's okay,
like don't worry, I'm not taking it to heart.
And then the lights start flickering
and the lights go off again.
So then John's alone by the way,
all of the detectives are drinking coffee
and the lights go off.
So he walks over and he tries to turn on the lights,
it won't turn on, obviously.
And then he goes to sit back down
when he hears like a squeaking noise.
And he turns around and through the glass,
he can see where the more drawers are and he sees one of
them open and it's the one where his wife went missing because they kept
pointing at it. So he walks over and now there's no body inside but there is a
box inside. That box was the box of belongings that came in on Veronica's
body. So it had a Ziploc that would have her cell phone which by the way was empty
and then it had a Ziploc of like all of her wallets and stuff that was literally on her body
because they have to keep evidence like that.
And one of them was the bottle of that fluid that he had put into the wine.
What?
That he had killed her with, poisoned her with.
Poisoned her?
Poison, yeah.
And he freaks out and he drops it and he's like looking
around like oh my god is Veronica alive and so we get another flashback and this flashback
is of the John describing the Heather about this drug and he said that the Baron Pharmacy
is undergoing drug development for this new drug that is really intense they think that they're
going to get investment on it
because it's solid.
So immediately you can see patients reacting to it
and they don't exactly know the purpose of the drug yet,
but it seems like it could potentially be a breakthrough drug.
So right now it's odorless, it is just colorless,
it dissolves into water, and you can see the effects
on the patients within hours.
If you get too large of a dosage, it's also tasteless, by the way.
If you give too large of a dosage to a patient, they could die.
Their lungs will stop, their heart will stop very slowly until they die.
They slowly lose consciousness, they become paralyzed, and within about eight hours, they're
probably dead, if you give them too much. And so he's explaining this to
Heather, his mistress, and she's like, what? And he says, you know, it's worse than death.
The fact that it's untraceable. This drug, you can't trace it in the body, which is
why we think we're going to get so much investment on it. And she's like, you don't think something like that should be destroyed if it could kill people?
And he turns around and he looks out the window and he says, no, because there still might be some use for it.
So then that's when we go back to the morgue and the lights turn on and the police detectives are
literally right outside the door. And they're about to open the door when John freaks out
and he reaches down, grabs the bottle and shoves it in his pocket.
We can see that the captain saw him do this.
So he's like, okay, well, what is this?
Why are you in this room?
And they see that the evidence door,
like the box of all the Veronica stuff is open.
So they walk over and one of the detectives says,
oh, this is the
Ziploc, it says for her phone. Her phone's missing. Captain's like, alright, John,
empty your pockets. Let's see those pockets. Excuse me? I just want to see your
pockets. This is empty your pockets. Do you have a phone? Do you have your dead wife's
phone? Is something on her phone? He's like, what are you talking about? I don't
have, why would I take my, you guys are disgusting. I demand to talk to your boss, Captain.
And he's like, ah, just empty your pockets.
And he starts, dead, man handling John.
He's like reaching into his pockets.
And he pulls out a bottle of the poison.
Now of course, because it was tested at Baron Pharmacy,
we see that the label has the pharmacy names and stuff,
but it doesn't have like the name of the drug.
It doesn't even say what it is.
It doesn't have like a poison skull symbol, you know, he's just like, what
is this?
And he's like, I don't know.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And so the more doctors like, I don't know that's not from inside arm work, I've never seen
that bottle before.
So he's like, okay, well can you get it tested in the lab and see what's inside this bottle?
She's like absolutely captain and she's like, I'm on it.
So she leaves.
And John the whole time, he's just privileged out. He's like, you'll be hearing from my
attorney about the way that you just manhandled me and just shove your hand into my pocket.
Absolutely. You'll be hearing from my attorney. And he's like, I'm sorry John, like do you
not understand the situation right now? You're not leaving the morgue until we find out
what the fuck is in that bottle. And that's when the captain gets a phone call and his phone is really loud and he's kind of funny.
He's like, I don't know why they make phones
so loud these days and it has boss yelling at him saying,
are you fucking out of your mind?
Are you interrogating John right now?
The job, the husband of the CEO of the,
are you fucking losing your marbles!
And the boss is yelling at him and he's just like,
Ah, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're right, you're right.
Okay, bye!
And he just like hangs up on his boss.
And John's like, okay, so I'm free to go, obviously.
And he's like, no, you're in the possession
of what I think is a murder weapon.
And John's like, what the fork?
So then the police leave him
and they have a more security officer
that look after John and he looks like,
he don't know what he just got himself into
the security officer.
So then the police go,
they're looking at the floor plans of the morgue
and the captain is just telling the detectives,
like we need to find another way in.
There's no way, like there's no way
that the perpetrator walked through the front door.
There's no way, our body just goes missing and they didn't use the front door. You need to find another way in. There's no way. There's no way that the perpetrator walked through the front door. There's no way a body just goes missing and they didn't use the front door. You need
to find another way in. So he sends two detectives to go search the entire grounds of the
morgue to see if there's an opening somewhere. And then he sends another officer, another detective,
to go see Veronica's younger sister, who also happens to be the company's attorney. So he's just
like figure what's going out.
I want to see if there's some sort of prenup or something.
Like that's what he's on to because it's all suspicious.
Now at this point, this is when the two detectives go outside and they're searching the outgrounds
of the morgue and they see this little opening.
It looks like a drainage tunnel like where it would rain because the morgue is kind of on
like this really bushy hill, like a wooded hill.
And they see this tunnel, they see the bars, and it's left open.
So the bars itself, it doesn't look like someone can crawl through them.
Like it's not skinny enough or like big enough that a, like a human can like crawl through,
but it was open.
So they're like, you know what we got to do, right?
We got to go crawl through this tunnel to see what's at the other end.
So they're crawling through the tunnel.
And at the same time, there's electricians who are called into the morgue to see what happened at the other end. So they're crawling through the tunnel and at the same time there's electricians who are
called into the morgue to see what happened to the generator. Why does it keep
going off? And at that point they hear a random boom. So they freak out and right
next to them a door opens and it's the detectives who are soaking wet from the
rain outside their muddy. They just crawl through the tunnel. So now we know that
the tunnel from the outside leads straight into the morgue,
especially near where the electrical box is.
So it'd be very convenient to turn off the electricity like that.
So the electricians also tell the captain,
they don't think that the electricity kept going out
was an accident.
They think that the wires were deliberately cut.
It's the strangest thing.
They also said that there's one CCTV footage
that has been saved because the whole building is run by the building and is hooked up to this generator.
However, there is one camera right outside on the main street of the morgue that's run
by the government and that one is not hooked up to this generator and you can see any and
all of the cars that were passing in this general vicinity when the body was missing.
So they go through all the cars and what they find is interesting is only their cars were there.
There was no extra car.
Police cars and the dude's car, John's Porsche, that's it.
So the Ricky's security guard, he's watching John
and John asks to go to the bathroom.
So he's taking a leak when he calls Heather
and Heather is like, are you okay?
What's going on?
You're not answering my calls.
Something feels wrong.
I feel like something's off.
Something feels, I just feel sp something's off. Something feels I
Just feel spooked out. It's like please come back
Like just leave the morgue tell them to get your attorneys on it
And she's like and some number keeps calling me. I don't know who it is
And he's like just ignored whatever you do. Don't pick up that number
It could be like an attorney it could be set up and so she's like okay like I won't and he's thinking to himself the whole time
Like how can there be another bottle? I destroyed all the bottles of the drug a setup and so she's like okay like I won't and he's thinking to himself the whole time like
how can there be another bottle I destroyed all the bottles of the drug
how is this possible and then he sees the bathroom window and it's raining outside and on the window
still there's a card and he walks up to it and it's an invitation to a madden butterfly charity party
to it and it's an invitation to a Madam Butterfly charity party. I know.
Connection to the Butterfly Collector, BAM that we did.
The front door.
Yeah, front door.
Madam Butterfly.
Madam Butterfly, same charity organization.
Is it for real?
Yeah.
Is it real charity?
Oh, I don't know.
So it's a card to the Madam Butterfly charity organization and it's got a butterfly
on the front card and on the back it says, to professor my love.
And we get another flashback.
So we find out that Heather is pregnant and John had gone to pick her up from the hospital
where she had her hand injured because a car had actually swirved into her on the sidewalk
and she had jumped, fallen on her wrist and her wrist was dislocated.
And he was like, did you get a good look at the car?
Like, did you see anything?
And she was like, no, I think the car was just like a black car.
I don't remember.
It's okay though.
They said that the baby's okay.
Everything's okay.
Like, don't worry.
And he hugs her in the middle of the street.
And he sees a car in the corner of his eye.
And it's a black car.
And it drives away when he looks at it.
So he's like, ah, so he's like, okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
He gets into his car, he goes home and that's where he Veronica is just doing yoga in the apartment.
And she walks up to him, he sees the Madame Butterfly invitation and she's like, oh, are you excited about the party?
Like, we can go pick out a new suit for you.
And she asks where he's been all night.
Oh, it's just during some research in the lab.
But I checked the lab you weren't there.
Yeah, but I was doing research in a different lab at school
because it was for a lecture and not for the drug.
Okay, well, I think maybe we should put the drug development
on hold.
You're busy, I'm busy.
It's draining a lot of resources in time
and I never get to see you anymore.
And it's an old invitation,
is what he's clarifying, right?
So it's from when she was alive.
So it's there again and it had the same writing.
So, I mean, who would have an invitation like that?
And so he was like, well,
we can't put the drug on hold.
We have so many people depending on it to go through.
It's so many.
Think about all the researchers's worked on this case.
And she just smiles at him and she says,
okay, well I'll let Mr. One close the case
and he'll take care of it.
And he's like Mr. One, what the fuck does he know?
He's not even good at his job.
How are you just gonna let him handle the rest
of the drug case that we've been working on for years?
And she looks at him and this woman is so composed.
She looks at him and she says,
do you think you are in the position you are
because you are good at your job?
And he says, you're right, my fault.
It won't happen again.
He a little bitch baby, okay.
First of all, she beats, and he beats baby, so whatever.
And so she hugs him and she cries very silently.
And she asks, do you love me?
And he says, yeah, why would you ask something like that?
She's like, well, if you love me,
why don't we just spend a year in the US?
We can work abroad, it'll be fun, we can travel more.
Yeah, yeah, let me let me think about it
Let me let's think about it. Let's not be too rash, you know, let's think about it. Okay, well
Do you need to buy a new car or something? No, you just bought me one like last week. Okay
Okay, so it seems like you know she loves him kind of in her own weird twisted way and is trying to use money to tie him down
But it also kind of implies that she probably knows about Heather's pregnancy because being in the US for years
Very interesting question to ask not even just like let's travel but for like a year, right?
And then at the end she hugs him and she says you know you can never leave me, right?
And he says I know I love you and it kind of implies that it's not just about money for some reason like the whole car thing
But then also the way she asks it seems like oh even if it wasn't about money like you know you can never leave me
So it's kind of odd so like it sounds like she's got like hitman on call
And so then we go back to the bathroom and that's when John is like still on the phone
with Heather and she's like hello, hello, and he's just in shock looking at the matter
and butterfly invitation and he's like Heather, does anybody else know about us?
Does anyone know about us?
And she's like no, what are you talking about?
And he hears a noise and he hangs up and the captain is looking at him.
And we don't know how much of that conversation he overheard.
Now one of the other cops goes to Veronica's sister's house, the attorney of the company,
to ask her a bunch of questions.
This is the middle of the night, so she seems like she just woke up.
Her husband looks like he just woke up. They're both in PJs.
And she's sitting there.
And she looks kind of weird.
Like she looks very emotionless at this moment
and he's like, well, do you know anything suspicious
because maybe we're kind of investigating like a homicide now
and she's like, my sister's been murdered.
What?
And they're like, well, or she might be alive.
You know, we don't really know what's going on
and she's like, she might be alive. and she just looks shocked and the cop is like well is there anything anything anything in the company files
Anything that could point to John being a little weird and the husband says honey honey show where the agreement show him the agreement
the agreement and
So we get a little like flash forward scene of the cop sitting with
the husband who's like a little nosy, he's like, look at the agreement, you know. And he's
reading over and he's like, God, this is hell of an agreement. Who would agree to this?
And we don't know what this, you know, what the agreement is. And then we're like, he looks
over and he's like, hello, can you believe this? And he's looking for Veronica's sister, the attorney,
and she's grabbing a glass of water,
but the water is now spilling from the counter
to the ground, and she's looking at her phone in shock.
So the cup is like, are you okay, ma'am?
And then it cuts.
And so then this point Captain shows John the CCTV footage
in the main road, and he's like, listen, dude, only we have driven this road, so just tell me.
Tell me, where do you think your wife's body is?
Because we're the only ones.
The only other side on the other side of this road of the morgue is that big wooded hill.
You think your wife's in that wooded hill?
Think about it, one person.
Your wife, how much does she weigh?
Now, one person is carrying her through the much does she weigh? Now, one person
is carrying her through the hill. Does that make any sense to you? And so then the captain's
like, well, I've got a theory. She wasn't carried through the woods. I think someone took her
out of the morgue so that there was no autopsy, and they put her body for safekeeping in the
woods nearby. And I think you're here right now, so you can't go back and get that body.
So I think, I think we're going to find that you can't go back and get that body. So I think
I think we're gonna find that body right outside the morgue. We just need some time to do a little
digging and we're gonna find her body and we're gonna do an autopsy and you motherfucker I think you
poisoned her. And so John is looking at him like okay whatever like he's he already looks like he's
got some shit going on. For me it seems like John believes that his wife is alive
and the captain believes the wife is dead.
So it's like they're working very two different cases.
So John's worried that his wife is alive.
That's actually worse for him than his wife being dead
and like the body is missing, you know?
And so it seems like they're worried about different things.
And the captain is walking out of the room.
And this is a new room, by the way.
And John turns to the room and there's a calendar,
a digital calendar on the wall that has the time in real life
and then also the date that today is supposed to be.
But instead of today, it's a date from years ago.
So this movie was released in like 2019, so it was based in current times, like 2018, right?
But it says July 20th, 2007. And so the captain looks at it and it's like,
it's a fucking or something.
And John looks at it and he looks like he's seen a ghost.
And he's like, I don't know.
And you can see that he's like thinking about something
and he's walking into the elevator with the captain
when the captain gets a call.
And like I said, the captain's phone is too loud,
so John's gonna hear everything. And so then the first call that the captain gets a call. And like I said, the captain's phone is too loud, so John's gonna hear everything.
And so then the first call that the captain gets
is from one of the cops who is with Veronica's sister, right?
And the cop says, listen, I know it's gonna sound crazy,
but we're on the way to the headquarters
of Baron Pharmacy right now.
And he's like, okay, why?
Well, I think it's some sort of sick prank,
but Veronica's sister just got a text from Veronica's phone saying,
come meet me at the office. I don't think Veronica's alive, okay, but some sort of sick prank. So we're just gonna,
we're just gonna make sure I'm with them in the car right now and we're headed to the office.
And then another call. The detectives that we're searching the grounds for looking for Veronica's body,
they call and they say, captain, we've got something weird. Yeah, what is it? Well, we found footprints into the woods,
so it seems like you're right. They took the tunnels, they didn't drive, but the footprints are too
small. I think it's a female's footprints. So, John is freaking out. Once they get out of the elevator,
the sprinklers were going off downstairs in the basement for some reason, it looks like the captain's shook. So he's like,
I, what the hell, right? And he's running through the hallway, trying to duck under his
folders because the sprinklers are going off. And this is when John was able to sneak off
into a different like storage room. And he's calling Heather. Now he's like, Heather,
Heather, you've been mentioning you've been getting weird calls. What was the number
again? And she's like, Oh, okay, hold on.
And she texts her phone log and recites the number.
And he's like, that's, that's Veronica's phone number.
And he tells her to lock the doors.
Don't go anywhere and stay safe.
And he mentions some weird things going on.
There's the day July 20th, only the two of us know that day,
but she put it on the calendar here.
I think she's alive.
And so he's thinking out loud and had this listening.
The drug didn't work.
They were talking about, they were,
oh my God, I didn't know.
I didn't know she was seeing psychiatrist.
They said that she could be,
the drug doesn't work if the patient is using antidepressants.
There could be some sort of, there could be some sort of, maybe it didn't work.
No, but there's no way she was on antidepressants without me knowing, right?
And Heather's like, wait, I don't think your wife would, she's not the type to take antidepressants.
No, that's worse.
If she's not taking antidepressants and the drug I used on her didn't counteract with
the antidepressants, that means the only other theory is that she knew all along what I was
going to do. With every drug that we make at Baron Pharmacy, we make an antidote. That's the only way, that's the only way we won't be held liable, that's the best way to
market drugs.
That means she knew all along what I was gonna do to her.
Heather, you need to be safe, you need to lock your door, Heather, and he looks at his phone
and his phone is dead.
And the door opens, and the captain is there.
So then the cops, they go to Veronica's office
and nobody's there.
So he's like, of course, like it was obviously a sick prank
Veronica's not alive, who the hell has her phone,
what the hell is going on?
And that's when they find a letter on her desk
that was from Veronica, mailed to Veronica.
And so he asks the sister, like,
can we take this as evidence?
Because who mails a letter to themselves, right? And it wasn't like she mailed it asks the sister, like, can we take this as evidence? Because who mails a letter to themselves, right?
And it wasn't like she mailed it from the US,
like she mailed it from her office to her office again.
Very strange.
So he was like, do you mind if I open it?
And she was like, go ahead.
And he was like, oh shit, and it cuts.
Then we go back to the morgue and the captain
is asking the electricians, like,
what set off the sprinklers in the basement? And they say, we found this to the morgue and the captain is asking the electricians like what set off the sprinklers in the basement
And they say we found this in the bathroom and I guess like someone was smoking a cigarette and it went off and the sprinklers went off
And he looks at the cigarette and it was you guessed it the same brand that he saw John had
So he's like, huh?
So then the morgue doctor rushes and then she's like guys, it's a poison. It's a poison
I just tested it. It's a poison. I don't have a full report of all the ingredients, but I know it's a poisonous material
So the doctor is like get me a report ASAP that's evidence and she's like, okay, you were right
I
This is crazy so she rushes back out so at the same time the boss calls the captain and the boss is not being nice
And the captain saying listen, it's a poison. He had the poison in his pocket the dude's murder Okay, I need more men
I need backup and the boss is like you need backup. You're gonna need backup when I beat you rap dude
You better let that kid go we're all gonna lose our jobs. How dare you be questioning a fucking table right now
Like do you not understand that they literally run this country and we're literally gonna be homeless in two days because we're gonna lose our
jobs like get him out of here. His wife died today, you motherfucker.
And he's freaking out.
And he's like, what if someone did this to you?
What if on that day someone interrogated you?
And then we get a flashback.
So the captain, he was a rookie cop.
He wasn't even a captain.
He wasn't even like a detective at this point. And he was so busy with all of these cases that his
girlfriend had called and he's like, fuck. And he picks up and he goes, it was
today, wasn't it? It was today. She's like, it's okay. It's okay. I know I know
you're busy with work. And he was supposed to go to her parents' grave with her
because it was the annual death day anniversary. And she was supposed to go to her parents' grave with her, because it was the annual death day in a verse three.
And she was going with her little sister.
It's like in the rural area, because in Korea,
there's really not a lot of land.
So most of the cemeteries are in rural areas.
And she's like, it's fine.
We just got off the bus and it's a short walk.
We'll be fine.
And he's like, are you sure?
You don't need me to pick you up or something.
It's getting dark.
It's getting dark.
She's like, it's okay.
Go solve some murders, okay?
We'll be home soon.
And she hangs up the phone,
and her little sister who seems a lot younger than her,
it's like, oh, no, my ankle hurts.
And she's like, okay.
So she grabs the band-aid,
and is putting a band-aid on her shoe
when all of a sudden a car comes and hits both of them.
Meanwhile, John is freaking out.
And he wants to be released because he thinks
someone's trying to kill Heather.
And he's alone in one of the rooms,
like a bathroom room and it's a small window.
Like a human couldn't crawl through there,
but it keeps slamming open and shut because of the wind.
And he walks up to it and there's a red,
white glass there just on the window.
And he's like, what?
Because, you know, he points into his wife with red wine.
So he's still at the morgue then.
He goes back into the interrogation room and he's just sitting waiting
where it cuts his phone his dead and he's freaking out
and he doesn't even know where the captain is at this point.
And that's when he hears a phone ring.
And it's coming from inside the drawers of dead people.
So he walks over and he can hear
exactly which body bag it's coming from and he unzips it, the phone is ringing and he grabs the phone
out and Veronica's phone number is calling. He picks it up and they hang up. So then he tries calling
again. There's no answer. So then he's like, what's in the bag?
So he opens up the body bag. So suspenseful. But it's just an old hadabaji.
Old grandpa. And then a text message arrives on the phone. I'm waiting for you at our secret place, July 28th 2007.
And so at this point, a commotion happens.
So the boss arrives with literally two vans
full of police officers, and the captain meets him outside
and he's like, where are they?
He's like listen, listen, listen,
let me give you all my evidence.
And he's like, nah, no rest, Tim, we're gonna get him, right?
And so the boss is like, we're not arresting you, dude.
You know I love you, but you can't do this.
We're gonna all lose our jobs.
You see all these men?
All of us are gonna lose our jobs.
So all the men are like,
where the heck are those our jobs?
Cause if you fork her and so they're trying to arrest him
and he's about to get pulled away.
And he's like, just give me five minutes
when the other detective rolls up with the file
and says everybody stop the file that Veronica had mailed
to herself.
And that's when the boss is like,
and then you see the boss telling the captain, you can question him. And this time it was a full blown interrogation.
He pulled out an audio recorder, he's recording the whole thing, and he pulls out the pre-numptial agreement.
That was the first thing he pulls out. And he says, if party A is found of having an affair, party B can sue that person and they will have literally
no claim to any and all assets.
Like they will lose everything.
And also, Ronika had hired a private investigator company right before her death and they found
out that you were cheating.
They have pictures of you making out with Heather.
Look at all these pictures.
He pulls out all of these pictures of them making out and...
And on top of that, they were able to record you saying this. Remember that
drug conversation? They recorded that between him and Heather.
What how? Because private investigators beat
Narlie. They also found out that he had rented that apartment where Heather was
staying at under his name. So it wasn't even Heather's apartment. Like Veronica
knew exactly how to get access to that apartment and probably set up listening
devices because I mean it was technically to get access to that apartment and probably set up listening devices because technically her money got that apartment.
And also, she's the one in charge.
No one in Korea is like, oh, John, they're all like fucking Veronica.
So they got the audio recording.
So that's intent.
This is literally premeditated murder, dude.
You said you're going to try to get her In the tape, he plays the tape for him.
So he's like, all right, tell me what's up.
So then John rushes to the bathroom
and he immediately starts throwing up,
which is kind of like a sign that you're guilty, right?
And the boss is like, listen, captain,
you've got one hour, get a confession, or find the body.
This is still circumstantial evidence for someone
who has that much money, this could technically be buried. So get the body. This is still circumstantial evidence for someone who has that much money, this could
technically be buried. So get the confession. So he's like, okay. So then after he throws up in the
bathroom, he starts getting all of these text messages on the phone that he found in the bodybag,
John. And it's all pictures of him, him and Heather just like making out holding hands literally
everywhere. So he's like, oh, like this is real, right? And then even when he, before he went into the morgue, because Ronik's body went missing,
you know how I said he went to Heather's to make out? There were pictures of that.
So that's when John calls Heather and he says, listen Heather, it's me, listen to what I have
to say. Are all of your doors locked right now? Yeah, I need you to go to the front door right now
and calmly walk away, walk out of the apartment,
but don't act like anything's wrong, okay Heather?
Just listen to what I have to say.
Get your bag and walk out of the apartment
and go somewhere with a lot of people, okay?
What's wrong?
Do what I tell you, please.
And so she's like, okay.
And she goes to her room and grabs her back.
And by the time she gets back out of her room,
the balcony door is open.
So she runs to the door and he can hear her
and he's like, what's going on Heather?
What's going on?
Tell me.
And then she screams and drops the phone.
So at this point, John runs out of the bathroom and he's like, Veronica's going to kill Heather,
Veronica's going to kill Heather, Veronica's killing Heather. And he's trying to run out of
the morgane and he gets body slammed by the captain. And then he's back into the interrogation
room and the captain is like, listen, we want to help you. And if someone's going to kill
someone, we want to prevent that. But you got to tell us what's going on and so John's flashback happens and he says
this is what happened. Not long after the drug development he started teaching
classes again at the local school because he just needed a sense of self and
that's when he met a student and then we get a flashback of the classroom and
it's the question of him asking all of the students.
So what would be the purpose of a drug like this?
And no one raises their hands.
When all of a sudden a shy girl from the back raises her hand
and he says, you, she stands up and she says,
the purpose of that drug to be to save as many lives as possible
isn't that the end goal to save people's lives
and she looks at her and he says, but this is an anti-itch cream and everyone starts laughing.
And she's like, we thought she was going to be like this genius but she's actually just like really dumb.
Okay. but she's actually just like really dumb, okay? She's like to save lives.
She's like, this is it H-cream.
Like what do you, it's aloe vera bitch.
What do you, and so he said so of course,
I really hated her as a student at first.
She was really annoying.
She would constantly ask questions after class.
And I was like, I just realized this isn't even your major.
Why are you asking so many questions? Okay?
But then slowly,
I don't know, it just kind of happened. You know, Tevronica, I was just a trophy.
She could literally have anything in the world. It didn't matter what anyone or anything in the world thought about her or what they wanted because
matter with anyone or anything in the world thought about her or what they wanted because Veronica just could conquer it all.
But Heather, Heather, we would go on these bike rides and we would study in the library
and she would ask what my dreams were, what I wanted to do in my life, what my future
was going to be like, and Veronica never asked that.
She just told me.
And I just slowly, slowly started falling in love with her
and Veronica started being suspicious.
So she told me to come into the office every single day
and to not teach school.
And I tried everything that I could
and I wanted to quit Heather
because I knew how Veronica can be.
If Veronica found out about Heather, it would be bad.
But it just, it wasn't easy.
And then we get a flashback of them
making out in the library.
Ooh, trouble, love.
Heather was the only thing keeping alive.
And then Heather felt pregnant.
Heather had nothing to do with it,
but he, he only planned to somehow protect Heather
because Veronica would have killed Heather, okay?
You gotta believe me, Captain.
Veronica would have killed Heather.
You think that she would have,
but she would have killed Heather
and she would have killed my unborn baby.
But it doesn't matter.
Veronica, Veronica, probably already knew the whole time.
And if it was a matter of money,
she would have just let me go.
But Veronica doesn't really even care about money.
That's not her style.
So the captain's like, so you killed her,
because you got your mistress pregnant.
No, no, she's not dead.
She's trying to kill my mistress right now.
What do you not understand?
Listen, would we develop the drug?
The drug that your more doctor took away from me,
we also developed an antidote.
We do that with every single drug that we have
and she probably knew all along
and she probably administered the antidote
after she drank that wine.
I should have known she was suspicious of that wine, right?
And then she probably got one of her little P.I.ies to drag her out of the morgue or she walked out. I
don't know, but she's alive and she's trying to kill Heather. You don't understand.
So Veronica died and then came back alive and then she's trying to kill your pregnant mistress.
That's really dumb. Like that's just with the captain's life. He's just like,
That's really dumb. Like that's just what the captain's like. He's just like, you know, it's really dumb.
You're dumb. And so then you know, there's a tap on the glass and then captain goes outside and he comes back and he says
All right, so there is an apartment under your name. Let's talk about that. And he says, I know that's where I was keeping the mistress Heather and I think that's where Veronica is right now trying to kill Heather like I told you.
We just sent detectives over there and the manager of the building told us no one's lived there in months.
We also checked the school that you taught at. There is no Heather, not even in your class, not in your whole school.
No, no, no, no, This is literally all Veronica's game.
She probably paid the school to get rid of Heather's records.
She probably paid the building manager to tell you these things.
We're literally playing into Veronica's game to make me seem crazy,
but she's alive.
And the captain's like, I've...
Veronica's dead, and there's no one named Heather.
And so at this point, John has a full-on mental breakdown.
And he's crying, screaming that Heather's gonna die soon because Veronica's alive. There's no one named Heather. And so at this point, John has a full-on mental breakdown.
And he's crying, screaming that Heather's gonna die soon because Veronica's alive, and
that's when the boss walks in and says, these dudes and suits came to pick up John.
So the dudes and suits came, right?
And he's like, we gotta let them go.
Like, we can try to figure it out tomorrow, but the dudes and suits are not leaving until
John leaves.
And so at this point, they let John go and he rushes into his porch and he speeds off.
Now the captain is like, hey,
well, I'm gonna go ahead home.
And one of the judges is like, sir,
the boss told me I gotta watch you
and I gotta bring you home tonight.
He doesn't want you going on another drinking bin
or anything, and the captain's like, okay, well,
you drive that.
Oh, I left my keys in the,
can you go get them?
I left them in the office.
And he's like, okay, so he walks inside
and the captain rushes into his car, turns it on
and drives after John.
Now what we find out is that somehow he put a tracker
on John or did he, someone put a tracker on John
and he's following the tracker and John is headed straight
to the secret place of July 20th, 2007. And the captain is following him and he's following the tracker, and John is headed straight to the secret place of July 20th, 2007.
And the captain is following him, and he has no idea where this dude's going.
So he's following following, then we see John enter into this wooded area with this giant mansion,
and he has the keys to the mansion, and he opens it up, and it looks like it was their prior home,
or a vacation home, because there's wedding photos of the two of them, him and Veronica all over the place,
and he searches room by room, and he can't find anyone.
So then he goes into the woods behind the mansion.
And the captain follows him through the woods.
John keeps hearing noises and he thinks it's Veronica and the captain's like, why is this
dude out here?
So then finally we think it's going to be Veronica, right?
But it's the captain and the John is like, listen, you've got to help me. help me and the captain says oh so this is where you hit Veronica's body huh. It
is a discreet location. We would have never guessed this place. We didn't actually
even know that you guys had a mansion here. Did you guys buy it under a different
name? Maybe a shell company or something? It's a nice place. So where's Veronica's
body? He's like no listen listen, listen, listen, she's alive!
And the captain says, ah, you're such an idiot.
Let me tell you something.
Listen, I lost someone too.
It's so hard when you lose someone.
And he pulls out his phone and shows him the screen saver
of his girlfriend that died.
And he says, look closely, I lost her too.
I was supposed to go to the grave with her.
On her parents' death anniversary, and then she got hit by a car.
And do you know how much guilt I had?
Do you know how much guilt I had?
Her younger sister got hit by the car too,
but guess what? She survived the hit and run,
and I went to the hospital every day,
showing her pictures of all these other car models,
and I said, do you remember the car?
But the little sister, she didn't remember a fucking thing.
Do you remember a thing?
Couldn't remember the car, couldn't remember a license plate,
number nothing.
It's depressing.
Can you imagine being a cop and your girlfriend dies?
And you can't even figure out who hit her?
So obviously, the younger sister grows up.
I go my separate ways.
I become a detective.
I become a captain.
I lose a part of myself,
I just pour myself into work.
And then one day, the younger sister of my girlfriend,
the woman I was gonna get married to, she gets arrested.
And I'm like, what are you getting arrested for?
So I take her out to eat, and then I find out
that she didn't have amnesia.
She pulls out a magazine that she had stolen from the library.
And she points to a page and she points to a logo.
And it was the Baron Pharmacy logo.
And she says, that's the one.
So I did some investigating.
And the car that hit my girlfriend on July 20th, 2007 was run by Baron Pharmacy and it was
registered under John.
And he starts beating up John and he says, where did you hide my girlfriend's body?
Is it here?
Oh my god!
Then we see a flashback of John and Veronica in the car. John is the one driving
and he hits the captain's girlfriend and the little sister in the rural town.
And the little sister goes flying, she stays alive, and she remembers like the
logo of the car before she gets run off the road.
That was in the very front like sometimes you can put logos and the the girlfriend, I
mean she's like bleeding on the side of the road and that's when Veronica is like what
do we do?
What do we do?
And then he's like trying to call the cops and Veronica's like are you kidding?
You're drunk.
You're just going to throw away your whole future like that.
And so they look at the girl and she's gone.
The captain's girlfriend's gone.
She's not on the side of the road anymore.
She's actually walking away into the woods to get her little sister.
And they look at her and she collapses again and she's still alive.
But they decide to drag her into the car.
And then we get a flashback of Veronica and John digging in the back of this mansion.
And he's crying and he hugs her and she says, from now on, just always do as I say, and you'll
always be okay. So that kind of implies the whole reason why she says, you can never leave me,
you know that, right? And the captain tells John, you know, after the head and run, they went crazy
because they could never find the girlfriend's body.
He went crazy.
And maybe that's why John's going crazy right now.
Because he can't find Veronica's body.
Is that why you're going crazy?
You know, people see only what they wanna see.
Then we get a flashback of the captain
driving into the woods behind the moring
so that he can avoid the CCTV
and he gets the body out through the tunnel, puts the body back into his trunk and as he's reversing out of the woods
because there's no road in the woods, he hits the back of the car on a tree.
So then when he arrives at the morgue, he hits the metal trash can with the back of his car
and he's like, oh, shit. and all of the detectives saw that. He was the one that turned off the electricity.
He also, when he asked John for a cigarette, he never smoked it. We never saw him
lit it. So we saw him later go to the bathroom light it put in the trash can and
then in front of all the detectives saying, wasn't that John's cigarette? The
wine glass, the text messages,
that was all the captain.
And the captain is telling him all of this
while he's beating him up.
Then the captain tells him exactly what John told Heather.
Soon your body will go numb.
Within eight hours, you will be paralyzed,
your heart and your lungs will cease,
and you'll be dead.
Just like what you did to Veronica.
But if you want to live, like you said, you have the antidote.
Tell me where my girlfriend's body is buried.
And John begs with his last breath, it's not Heather's fault.
It was all me.
When I die, please don't arrest Heather.
She had nothing to do with any of this.
And that's when the captain's like, is it true that Heather's pregnant with your kid?
Yeah. How do you know? Did you go to the doctor with her? Probably not, because you can't get caught
at the hospital. And then we get a flashback of the captain taking out the sister to eat,
of the captain taking out the sister to eat and she's showing the logo and she lifts up her head
and it's Heather. Her real name is Hannah. She's my girlfriend's little sister and it went for you right now she'd probably just be a regular college girl. That day she told me it was Baron pharmacy.
I started looking into it and for the next couple of years I mean I was captain of my squad and I barely did anything. I was just at
home trying to figure out how I was going to get back at you guys. You in Veronica, mergers.
But what can I do? I can't see you guys. I don't have evidence. You guys have all the
money in the world. What can I possibly do? And then Heather found out. She found out that I was plotting
revenge and she asked to be part of the plan and I said, no, you're going to get hurt, you need to move
on with your life, you need, you've got a full life ahead of you, go to college, do something with
yourself. And she said, no, we're going to get them back. And I said, what are we going to do, huh?
What are we going to do? And she says, we'll kill them if we have to. And then we get a flashback to when he,
before he went to the morgue,
he asked for a glass of water at Heather's place.
And she had put in some of the fluid in there.
Oh my God.
And the captain kicks him.
And John knows that Heather, the love of his life,
was the one who poisoned him. and she's not even Heather.
And so then we see the captain digging and digging and digging and digging.
And after he's done digging, he looks at John who's like laying motionless on the ground in the woods.
And he says, I died a long time ago too, when you killed my girlfriend.
Let's not meet in hell too.
But then John is not actually dead.
He wakes up because someone had administered
the antidote to him.
And he's handcuffed, the police are there,
and we see where the captain was digging
is now for on a cosbody.
And the police are like, you sick.
You murdered your wife and then you stole her body
so that we can do an autopsy and then this. And then the other detectives are like, you sick. You murdered your wife and then you stole her body so that we can do an autopsy and then this.
And then the other detectives are like, where's Captain?
I don't know. He drove away. I think he's getting food.
Or maybe drunk, I don't know.
And then he's like, well, he was right. Guess what I found?
You know how he has needle marks on him?
Cattamine, I found drugs.
He's probably doing drugs and his wife probably threatened to leave him
and so she killed it.
He killed her.
God, what a sick fuck.
And they're like rich people.
And they're just doing some more digging and it seems like he's gonna go to jail for the rest of his life
and no one's gonna believe a word he said and Veronica is actually dead.
She's actually dead.
So he did kill Veronica.
And now he's getting caught for it. And then we get a flashback
to the, or we get a scene, the ending scene of the captain picking up Hannah and driving to a
rural area. And he opens up the trunk because he had dug out his girlfriend's body. And the only
thing left of her were some bones bones but also he had gifted her a
necklace for an anniversary and she wore it every single day and the younger
sister she would always look at the neckless and like twirl it and she just cried
while she held it and that was the end of the vanished. It was so good I mean
the whole time it leads you on to believe,
okay, the twist is that Veronica's alive.
Yeah.
You know, it leads you on to that.
It's the twist that she's alive.
Like, you think that she's alive,
but you also think there's more that's gonna happen.
Like, you think that she's gonna somehow frame in for this
and then what's gonna happen to Heather?
Like, she's gonna do it so smart
because, you know, even in the flashbacks, you get this glimpse
of just Veronica being like this insanely intelligent person
who knows everything, you know?
Yeah.
So you just think that she has like this masterful plan,
but then you have no idea that the captain is involved.
Like you just think that the captain's like really smart.
Like the whole thing is the,
the twister the captain that I got was that everyone thinks
that he's a drunk, but he's actually just a genius.
Like that's kind of the twist you get.
You don't think that there's going to be another twist.
You're just sort of like, oh, he's so much better than people think he is, you know.
Like he's actually really good even though he looks like, yeah, I don't care.
And Hannah's not pregnant.
But imagine the dedication to like sleep with the person you're in. And Hannah's not pregnant. But imagine the dedication to sleep with the person
who murdered her.
Yeah, that's too much.
Like, love my sister, but that ain't happening.
I'm not sleeping with my sister's murderer.
But you know, when you're that young,
like sometimes you just grow up with her,
you gotta get it done.
This is a good one.
I would rate it a solid 10 out of 10 for-
For a hell of a 10? Okay, well. You're sturdy telling out of 10 for I would say like an 8 out of 10 so I
did tell it a little differently than a movie. The movie itself shows multiple
parts where Veronica's alive in the morgue.
What?
Of John seeing her. So it kind of plays into the like, you only see what you want.
So he's going crazy, but I also felt like that'd be a little weird.
So I admitted those parts.
Yeah.
I like more of like the intrigue.
I'm not really too into like the paranormal stuff, even with the security guard you actually
see Veronica alive.
So then it was kind of like weird, like the loose end of the entire from you perfectly.
So I left that part out, but I would say it's really good
in the sense of it's a really fun, easy watch.
It's not necessarily the most,
the plot twist is so clean.
Like there's not so many different moving parts
that like if you look away for two seconds to like,
I don't know, scratch your butt,
you're like, what, what would it just miss?
What happened, you know?
It's like you could go to the bathroom and then come back and still be like, I don't know what's exactly is going on, you know what would it just miss? What happened? You know, it's like, you could go to the bathroom
and then come back and still be like,
I don't know what exactly is going on, you know?
So it's a good movie.
It's a very easy watch.
I know that it's available anywhere.
I watched it on like a Korean website
that my mom told me to use and gave me like her ID.
She pays like $15 for it.
I don't know.
I even tried using VPNs to like other places,
but it's just, I guess it's not that popular
of a movie in Korea because in Korea, my mom didn't even know about this movie.
Like I asked my mom, I was like, did you watch this movie?
She's like, I've never heard of it.
So maybe it's like a small box hit, so it's not available in a lot of places, but if you
do end up getting the chance to watch it, probably would recommend it's good, or you could
just watch this Spanish version.
It's probably better, honestly.
The original is always better than remakes, so I hope you guys enjoy today's BAKING A MISTRY, and I'll see you guys
tomorrow. Bye!
