In 1936, businessman Kichizo Ishida stepped into a discreet hotel in Tokyo to meet with his lover, Sada Abe. It had become routine for Ishida in the recent months, him putting aside his duties and responsibilities for days on end to indulge in the affair.

Part 2 - We explore the fallout following Abe's brutal crime, and how she was eventually put to justice.

In April 2023, police in South Korea responded to a call to find a horrific scene, the remains of a woman buried covered in a shallow grave. Further investigations would dig further into the rabbit hole, tracing the woman's dealings for a mysterious cryptocurrency company called P.U.R.E, as well as the swift manner in which the company's last known clients lost almost all of their savings.
Part 1 - We follow the police investigation as they first discover the body in the shallow grave, before diving deep into the connections with the cryptocurrency space.
Part 2 - We follow the suspects as they hatch their plan for revenge, and the brutal manner in which they executed it.

In late January 2020, 33 year old Le Quoc Tuan works his way through a maze of shophouses to partake in some alleyway gambling, specifically the popular local game of xóc đĩa, loosely translated as “shake the plate”. Despite a winning start, Tuan would start to go on a series of losses, eventually wiping him out. Undeterred, he would then leave momentarily to get some more money, but would come back with a rifle instead.
Part 1 - We delve into the events of the day as it unfolds, from the moment Le Quoc Tuan starts gambling, to when he shows up with a rifle.
Part 2 - We explore the bloody aftermath of Le Quoc Tuan's onslaught, as well as the manhunt that ensued to capture the vicious gunman.

Everything seemed to be going well for Akira Nishiguchi. While he was previously a recurring criminal who had been in and out of prison for roughly 10 years, he had picked up a job as a delivery driver, and had even saved his marriage.
However, all this would be for naught as he drove up a remote mountain road in late 1963; where he would murder and rob his 2 fellow travelers, and begin his spree as the "messenger of evil".
