THE SAINTS BASEBALL TEAM MURDER CASE

LIAR'S TABLE

All right.

FIRST PLAYER ENTERS

This seems like a good spot.

Oh, boy.

CHOI YANGRAK TV PERSONALITY

I guess I'm the first one here.

My goodness, what's all this?

GRAND VIBE

Hello.

SECOND PLAYER ENTERS

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Pani Bottle.

Of course, I know who you are.

But I'll be playing someone else today.

PANI BOTTLE YOUTUBER

I heard you have three million subscribers.

Not quite.

It's a little over two million.

Hello.

-Hello, Yangrak. - Good to see you.

- It's nice to see you. -Hi.

- Hello. -Goodness.

- You've gotten more handsome. - Please.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm a huge fan. I'm not just saying that for the cameras.

MAX CHANGMIN SINGER

-It's a nice table. - Right?

They put in a lot of effort.

It's new leather.

It's not an old table. It's been newly upholstered.

It smells new.

You really think they'd bring in an old one?

Hello.

-No way! -Hello.

Kim Hyunsoo.

-He's our MVP. -Hello.

He's the Korean Series MVP.

Congratulations.

-Oh, did his team win? -Yeah.

He won with LG and moved to KT this season.

I'm sure there was a good reason.

Was it because they recognized his talent?

Of course.

-I don't know baseball. -He's Korea's best.

I'm a Hanwha Eagles fan and hoped we'd win again at last,

but because of this guy,

our chances were ruined.

Anyway, thank you.

Hello.

- I see this guy all the time. - Gosh.

-Hello. -This is…

-I saw him two weeks ago. -Really?

-He's Chungju Man. -Right.

Now the former Chungju Man.

KIM SEONTAE FORMER PUBLIC OFFICIAL

LOOKS AROUND

What's with your outfit? Are you wearing sweats?

-Well, the producers called me -Yeah?

and told me to dress formally, but I don't have a suit.

You'd think a public official would own many suits.

-Yeah. -We're quite close,

and since we first met about two years ago,

he's always dressed the same.

So I once asked him if he had any other clothes,

and he has many of the same type.

-Like a uniform? -That's right.

Yes. I have a few.

Did you all get briefed on today's game?

I don't know the specifics.

I was just told it was a board game.

They didn't give me any other details.

You're very good at board games, right?

Board games are my hobby.

-Really? - But I'm not good at them.

Do you play board games, Yangrak?

I play games

like stone-flicking.

UNEXPECTED ANSWER

Oh, that's right.

-That's a classic. -"Stone-flicking!"

-We both grew up watching that show. -Yeah.

- It was a hit program. - It was.

Welcome to Murder Club: Liar's Table.

-Here we go. -Looks like it's starting.

ROUND OF APPLAUSE

Today, you will be playing Murder Mystery,

a competitive deduction game where your goal is to identify

the culprit hidden among you.

You will each be assigned a unique role

and play the game as that character.

There is only one culprit,

but every player has their own secret.

To win this game,

you are allowed to lie, conceal the truth, and act deceptively.

The game consists of five rounds.

At the start of each round,

one clue will be revealed to the entire group,

and all the players will pick out

one card clue and one object clue.

The card clues are confidential

and can only be shared during private conversations.

The object clues can be examined by all players.

After collecting the clues, you will have a 15-minute discussion.

Starting Round 2, you will have time for private conversations.

After the group discussion, you will have five minutes

to talk secretly in the private conversation zones.

In Round 5, the final round, you will make your final vote.

After the final group discussion,

you will vote for the person you suspect to be the culprit.

I'm not sure I really get it, but all right.

LAUGHING

Can you handle this game?

-There are a lot of murder mystery games. -Okay.

They're board games

where you each play a character and try to find the culprit.

I've only played it once myself.

Was this your idea?

-No. - Did you choose this game?

No, I didn't know it'd be like this.

-He's insanely rich. - No, I'm not.

-So they spared no expenses. -What?

How can you say that in front of these people?

You're calling me rich when I'm the poorest one here.

-He once showed his house on his channel, - What are you on about?

and it looked rather average, but it was all a lie, right?

Yeah, there's a door at the very back

that leads to his real house.

-That's his real place. - A mansion.

-Do you have a split personality? -No, no.

Are you suspecting me already?

I think the person who'd be best

at pretending to be innocent is Chungju Man.

-Me? - Yes. I know him well.

We did a survival show together,

and he's an expert at deceiving people.

Honestly, I didn't think this production would be so big.

But with this kind of budget and cast,

why would they make me the culprit?

-That's a bit… -That's true.

If I were a writer or producer,

I'd make one of you two the culprit.

But I don't have much TV experience,

and I'm new to this, so wouldn't I be too obvious?

Then…

Honestly, if I might say so myself,

I'm known for being squeaky clean.

-You're lying already. - No, no.

I'm not.

-I think Pani Bottle is most likely. -Yeah.

His glasses don't even have lenses.

-Yeah, they're just for show. -See?

-See? -It's a deceit.

But I'm a bad liar. I share everything.

I can't lie.

Yangrak, you tell fibs.

-I'm a joke-teller. -He's a great liar.

That's different from lying.

You lied about being sober for a year.

You told your wife for a year that you were a teetotaler.

Oh, it was a lie?

-How can you keep up an act like that? -It was a long time ago.

I'm not a good liar.

Now, you will be assigned your roles.

Please choose one of the files in front of you.
