'A Killer Paradox' Ending Explained: Lee Tang gets away with series of brutal murders
Contains spoilers for 'A Killer Paradox'
DAEJEON, SOUTH KOREA: Netflix's latest thriller series 'A Killer Paradox' concludes with several mind-boggling revelations and twists.
The eight-episodic series revolves around an ordinary college student, who accidentally kills a stranger one night. As he discovers his victim's criminal past, he realises his power of sensing evil men and eliminating them without leaving evidence.
Episode 8 of 'A Killer Paradox' offers an intriguing endgame to the chase as Detective Jang Nan-gam (Son Suk-ku), Lee Tang (Choi Woo-shik), and Roh-bin come together to take down Song Chon (Lee Hee-joon).
It all comes down to each of their choices to end the bloodshed.
Who gets framed for all the murders in 'A Killer Paradox'?
In the finale episode, Roh-bin loses his life when Nan-gam fires a bullet during his physical altercation with Song Chon. Later, when Chon tells Nan-gam the dark secrets of his parents, he shoots him to death.
Roh-bin and Song Chon's bodies get burnt as a fire breaks out at the factory.
Lee Tang admits he is tired of running and filled with guilt. He asks Nan-gam to shoot him. However, Nan-gam refuses to kill him and says that one day he'll be caught and his powers will fail.
The case concludes as the cops rule Roh-bin as the killer.
Roh-bin had already planned the end. From keeping files on all the victims to a secret room with murder weapons, he had everything set up since the start.
He even surgically got his teeth matched with Lee Tang. As a result, the bitten fruit the police found at one crime scene matched Roh-bin’s, thus keeping Lee Tang out of trouble.
Lee Tang walks as a free man
We see Lee Tang hiding in Thailand and doing odd jobs to make a living. However, one day, the police take him into custody under suspicion of illegal migration. However, the cops are confused as to why he illegally came there when his records show no prior criminal reports.
Nam-gam is suspended from his job and he refuses to appeal the decision as he believes he deserves punishment for the killings. However, he is not charged with murder as the police department backs him for eliminating the ruthless criminals.
The investigators ask Nam-gam if Lee Tang was present on the night when Song Chon and Roh-bin were killed. It's said that Lee Tang would become a lead suspect in the case depending on his statement. The scene is cut to the prosecutor marking Lee Tang as 'innocent' due to lack of evidence.
He returns to South Korea and walks as a free man. While roaming on the streets, he bumps into a man. It seems as if his powers give him a sense that the man has committed a crime.
All the episodes of 'A Killer Paradox' are now streaming on Netflix.
