Synopsis of "Midnight City Part V"
Devil puts all of the evidence he has together, trying to find out who the killer is. However, he finds out Black Terror is after him so he has to put everything together fast. He does his research and realizes who the killer is. When Black Terror shows up, Devil gives in a peace of paper, which makes Terror also realize who the killer is. Later, Belle Wayne is seen in her apartment, packing her cloths, when Devil and Black Terror show up. She reveals she is going to move to Paris, but is then shocked when she finds out Devil and Black Terror know she killed The Owl and then hired two different assassins to kill Devil. After finding this out, Belle grabs a gun and shoots at the two before running off. They chase after her, managing to stop her. After all this, she reveals why she killed The Owl: after he murdered a man her whole life was destroyed because she was his wife. This eventually made her so angry that she bust in to Owl's cell and shot him in the head. They get this recorded and give it to the police. However, as Belle is arrested she suddenly curls up in pain and ends up exploding for seemingly no reason. However, Devil thinks back to something Captain Future once told him, "sometimes the villains don't deserve to go to jail". This makes Devil realize who killed her, as it reveals Captain Future, who is on the moon. He realizes that more than likely be hunted down if he returns to Earth, so he decides to remain on the moon, and plans to simply out live everyone on Earth.

Trivia

 * Before now, it has only been hinted that Captain Future knows he's fictional, but he basically confirms he does by saying "I don't see why everyone will hunt me down for this... after all, I'm just a puppet who freed another puppet".
 * Captain Future already has a base on the moon, implying he was planning on doing this for quite some time.
