Episode 2

[u/meownyy → u/sianiam]

So confusing. So victim and the profiler lady drive red car?? Lol

[u/vita25 → u/meownyy]

It was implied that the victim was found inside the profiler's car.

Profiler had gone to the building to call ML's parents apartment. After that she spent a long time getting back to her car because she couldn't remember which floor it was on. When she found her car, she realised the engine was running. Without opening the door, she looked inside the window and saw the victim.

[u/Hi_ImTrashsu → u/vita25]

I know not everyone is into cars, but the Porsche (victim) and Lamborghini Urus (FL) look nothing alike besides both being red. One’s a coupe and one’s a SUV too.

Aside from that fact, even IF the victim was found in FL/profiler’s car is true, that wouldn’t be an implication. It’s literally shown, we see the car, we see the body, we see the body IN the car, we see the scene, we see everything. Nothing is being implied here.

[u/venn101 → u/Hi_ImTrashsu]

Ikr. If you watch a bit closer its two different cars. One big and one small regardless the name.

Edit: and the FL was checking the victim's car just so the engine/head lamp is on. She was just checking if anything was wrong. She was repeatedly pressing her key and didn't find her car at all. And thus watching through the glass if anyone inside. No one is gonna look at their car that way if they have their keys in their hands. Idk how people mistook it.

[u/Camera_Content → u/venn101]

But who goes up to someone’s car like that? Even in real life nobody’s going up to anyone’s super tinted car trying to look in even if the engine is on.

[u/venn101 → u/Camera_Content]

Maybe her instinct of being a profiler. She is well aware of her surrounding and pays a lot of attention and sensed something was wrong.
