00:00A woman is horrified to find her husband walking out of a pub with a schoolgirl.
00:03Their intimate behavior goes beyond a teacher-student relationship.
00:06To get back at her husband, she took two kilos of blood.
00:09Then she dumped some of it on the cupboard,
00:10splashed the rest on the floor and smoothed it out with her hands.
00:13Then she simulated a drag mark on the floor.
00:15Finally, she cleaned up the blood on the floor with paper towels.
00:18At this point, she dabbed the blood on a wooden stick and burned it in the fireplace.
00:22Then she overturned the couch and smashed the coffee table in the living room.
00:26While Jack was at the bar, he got a call from a neighbor.
00:28When he came home, he found the door open.
00:31He immediately went to the living room to check it out.
00:33But he found the glass coffee table in the living room completely shattered.
00:36The police arrived.
00:37Jack said he and his wife had just moved here two years ago and he owns a bar with his sister.
00:41He suspected his wife had been kidnapped, but everything in the house was clean and tidy.
00:45The only thing suspicious was the blood on the cupboards.
00:47Jack was then taken to the police station.
00:49His fingerprints and saliva were collected.
00:51At this point, the female officer asked for basic information about Anna.
00:55But Jack was very nervous.
00:56He didn't even know his wife's blood type.
00:58This aroused the policewoman's suspicion.
01:00As the police had to investigate the house, Jack went to stay at his sister's house for a few days.
01:04The next day, forensics made a discovery at the scene.
01:07The blood on the cupboards was splattered.
01:09And it was a little too high.
01:10Then the police found out.
01:11The house and all the property of the two were in Anna's name.
01:14Anna also paid for their daily expenses.
01:16The pub that Jack and his sister ran was also funded by Anna.
01:19The policewoman found a letter marked with a clue in Anna's personal effects.
01:22The next day, Jack held a press conference with his in-laws.
01:25They hoped to use the media to find out more.
01:27But Jack seemed distracted the whole time.
01:29And he laughed during the conference.
01:30Then the policewoman approached Jack again.
01:32She showed him the letter she found yesterday.
01:34But Jack said it was a scavenger hunt that he and Anna used to play.
01:37And the policewoman thought it was a clue that Anna might have left behind.
01:40Following the letters prompting Jack arrived at his office.
01:42Where he found a second envelope marked with a clue.
01:45The letter asks Jack to find a brown cabin.
01:47But then the policewoman found underwear.
01:49Jack was very nervous when he saw it.
01:50He hastily changed the subject by saying he didn't know where the brown cabin was.
01:54But at night, Jack sneaks into a deserted house.
01:57He found a third clue on a table.
01:58Just as Jack was about to check it out, the policewoman suddenly walked in.
02:02He hurriedly hid the envelope in his pocket.
02:04Obviously, he was trying to hide the clue.
02:06He said it was his father's old house and that he checked it every week.
02:09When they came out of the house the lady officer asked if it was the brown cabin mentioned in the letter.
02:13But Jack denied it, saying it was a blue house.
02:15Although the policewoman had her suspicions about Jack, there was no real evidence.
02:19They could only watch as Jack drove away.
02:21When Jack was curious enough to open the envelope, he discovered that his wife was trying to punish him.
02:25And had hidden their 5th anniversary present.
02:27It brought back memories for Jack.
02:29They met at a party.
02:30And soon fell in love.
02:31After marriage, they were a model couple.
02:33Anna was a famous writer.
02:34And Jack was a teacher.
02:35But the economy was bad.
02:37He lost his job soon after the wedding.
02:39Since then, Jack played video games at home every day.
02:41And often bought expensive gaming equipment.
02:44Anna just reminded her that it's not easy to make money.
02:46But Jack thought his wife didn't respect him.
02:48After that, he didn't make any anniversary gifts.
02:51The thought of it sent a chill down Jack's spine.
02:53He suspected that his wife was mocking him.
02:54The next day, with the help of a group of volunteers, they conducted a carpet search of the town.
02:59But Anna had vanished without a trace.
03:01When he got home at night, Jack found the TV was full of suspicions about him.
03:04His sister couldn't understand why Jack laughed at the press conference.
03:07She immediately suspected that Jack had a new lover.
03:10Just after his sister went back to her room, he received a message.
03:13The person he was talking to was the schoolgirl he was having an affair with.
03:16But at that moment, he was not in the mood.
03:19So he sent the girl away perfunctorily.
03:20But the sister saw it.
03:22She shouted at Jack.
03:23At this critical moment, any scandal could be detrimental to Jack.
03:26And now the press is beginning to suspect him.
03:28It is suspected that Anna has been killed.
03:30And Jack is the prime suspect.
03:32Meanwhile, forensics made a big discovery.
03:34After running fluorescent tests at the scene, they found a large amount of cleaned blood on the floor.
03:38And after comparing the blood type, it was confirmed to be a match for Anna.
03:42On the other hand, to thank the town's volunteers, Jack gave another thank you speech.
03:46He said that he and his wife were very much in love with each other.
03:48And that it wasn't what was rumored on the internet.
03:51And he fooled all the citizens with his true feelings.
03:53But at that moment, the female neighbor suddenly came out of the crowd.
03:56She called him an animal.
03:57She told him that Anna was pregnant before she disappeared.
04:00The sudden news pushed Jack into the limelight again.
04:02Even his parents-in-law suspected him of murder.
04:04In the midst of all the accusations, Jack had no choice but to run away.
04:08Luckily, the police escorted him back to his home.
04:10When questioned by the policewoman, Jack said he didn't know his wife was pregnant.
04:14And that he didn't think she and the neighbor were close friends.
04:16But the next few photos were a revelation.
04:18Jack would have never dreamed that his wife would be best friends with a shrew.
04:21Then the policewoman said they had checked at the hospital.
04:24That Anna was already pregnant.
04:25Based on their investigation of the scene.
04:27And the forensic pathologist's findings.
04:29He seriously suspected Jack had something to do with it.
04:31She then produced Jack's recent spending records.
04:34It shows that he often bought a lot of luxury goods.
04:36And credit card debt of over $100,000.
04:38But Jack denied it.
04:40He was sure he hadn't bought them himself.
04:41But the policewoman didn't believe him anymore.
04:43Because he had taken out a large accident insurance policy for his wife.
04:47All this makes the police suspect that he has a motive to kill.
04:49Without a body, they had no authority to arrest Jack.
04:52When the police left, he remembered the third clue he hadn't solved.
04:55After disassembling the clues word by word, Jack also seemed to think of something.
04:59He rushed to the backyard warehouse.
05:01But when he opened the wooden door, he was dumbfounded.
05:03It was full of toys he'd maxed out his credit cards on.
05:06Jack realized that if the police found out about them,
05:08he would never be able to prove his innocence.
05:10Meanwhile, the police arrived at Jack's father's house.
05:13After a careful search, she found an unburned diary in the fireplace.
05:16In it, she recorded everything about Anna's life over the years.
05:19And she suspected that her husband was thinking of killing her.
05:22And Jack found his wife's fifth anniversary present in the storage room.
05:25Inside was a doll holding a baby.
05:27And a doll holding a stick.
05:28He instantly understood what she was trying to say.
05:30Jack decided he wasn't going to sit around and wait.
05:33Then he found a lawyer friend to help him.
05:34And when Jack told him what he'd been through,
05:36the lawyer was impressed with Anna's ingenuity.
05:38Now, to turn the tide, they had to change the public perception of Anna.
05:42Then he gave Jack the confidence of a man.
05:44Soon Jack was following a trail that led him to the man the lawyer was talking about.
05:47It turned out that this man had been in a relationship with Anna.
05:50And both parents agreed.
05:51Just as they were preparing for their wedding,
05:53Anna took the initiative to meet the man.
05:55And asked him to tie Anna's hands and feet.
05:57But the next morning the police were there.
05:58A night of madness and bruises on her wrists.
06:00She was accused by Anna of rape.
06:02The man went to prison for 10 years.
06:04And all of this was planned by Anna herself.
06:06Until then, Jack had never realized how horrible his wife could be.
06:09Then the man took out a photograph.
06:11And the man in the photo was Anna's first love.
06:13Maybe he could tell us more about her.
06:15Jack immediately went to the man in the photo.
06:17He wanted to get evidence in his favor.
06:18But Carl refused Jack's request because he didn't want to hurt his first love.
06:22When he returned home, the police came with a search warrant.
06:25They discovered the secrets of the warehouse based on Anna's diary.
06:27Faced with the hard facts, Jack didn't know how to explain.
06:30Then he was arrested for murder.
06:32Luckily, his lawyer bailed him out.
06:34But the day after he returned home, Anna came home covered in blood.
06:37Jack was horrified.
06:38And it was all Anna's plan.
06:39When she discovered her husband's betrayal, Anna planned the perfect murder to make her
06:43husband pay.
06:44To this end, Anna began frequenting the neighborhood.
06:47She revealed her husband's violent temper, both intentionally and unintentionally.
06:51Then he went on a spending spree in Jack's name, creating a financial crisis.
06:54And then, while Jack was preoccupied with a game, he signed him up for a high dollar accident
06:59insurance policy.
07:00In order to disguise herself as a vulnerable person, she stole her neighbor's urine.
07:03After she went to the toilet, she faked a pregnancy.
07:06Finally, she waited until her wedding anniversary.
07:09When her husband left the house, she faked the crime scene.
07:11She planted it all on Jack's head.
07:13She spent her free time recording her life in journals.
07:15Then she forged thousands of diary entries to portray Jack as a violent man.
07:19She made the police believe that Jack was trying to destroy evidence.
07:22Finally, she left a clue in the cabin and drove out of the city.
07:25So as not to be recognized, she cut her hair short and dyed it a new color.
07:28In Anna's plan, she'll end up faking her own suicide to frame her husband.
07:31But when she saw on the internet that Jack was still laughing, Anna changed her plan.
07:35She wanted her husband to fall in love with her again.
07:38But that day, an accident happened.
07:40The bad guys took all her money.
07:41In order to complete her plan, Anna put her hope on her first love.
07:44After seeing Anna's aggrieved face, Carl decided to help her.
07:47Then he took Anna to a private house.
07:49Inside, the decor is unimaginably lavish.
07:52All the rooms are equipped with surveillance cameras.
07:54But Anna didn't know that she was using someone else.
07:56She was also being used by them.
07:58Carl's possessiveness never diminished.
08:00He wanted Anna as much as he did then.
08:02Anna realized that she had fallen into Carl's trap.
08:04But Carl underestimated Anna's tactics.
08:06The next day after breakfast, Anna kissed Carl on purpose and bit Carl's lip.
08:10She said that's what young people do.
08:11But Carl didn't know that his behavior had been recorded by the cameras.
08:14When she watched him leave, Anna tied a rope around her ankles.
08:17Then she wet her clothes with red wine.
08:19Then she went to the camera and made herself look like she was begging for help.
08:22She disguised herself as having a miscarriage.
08:24Then she changed into clean clothes.
08:26She used a rope to make strangulation marks on her wrists.
08:28Then she took out the red wine and pretended to have been raped.
08:31When Carl returned at night, Anna lured him to her room.
08:34She ended Carl's life with a knife.
08:35Eventually, she returned to Jack.
08:37A doctor determined that Anna had been raped.
08:39Anna blamed Carl for everything.
08:41And with the surveillance video the police found at the villa, Anna was exonerated.
08:45Jack didn't believe his wife's story.
08:46But in front of hundreds of reporters, he had no choice but to remain a good husband.
08:50If Jack chose to abandon his wife, he would have been rejected by everyone.
