Episode notes

In May 1967, the neon-lit streets of Manila were paralyzed by the discovery of Lucila "Lucy" Lalu. A self-made mogul who rose from a provincial waitress to a nightlife queen, Lucila’s success was met with a gruesome end that gave birth to a terrifying new term: the "Chop-Chop Lady."

This week, Zed and Foxtrot descend into the 1960s wing of the archive to dissect a case defined by "surgical" precision. One independent woman. Four severed parts. Zero convictions. The vault is open... let’s see what the shadows are hiding.
